In this role, you will work directly with the Tech Lead and other developers to build and maintain both new and existing applications. You will be responsible for working on a proven platform that delivers thousands of pages per second to hundreds-of-millions of people.

You will primarily be hands-on in a modern application utilising PHP, Alpine.js, TailwindCSS, Twig, while also contributing to services built with Laravel.

The Technology & Engineering department at Future offers a collaborative, collegiate environment where the primary focus is on effective but well-engineered and scalable solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

• SEO & GEO: Working with our in-house Audience team to build systems that will attract new users to the platform and retain them
• API Integration: Build and consume robust APIs to connect the new creator platform with core internal services (Identity, Asset Management, Content APIs) and AI moderation tools.
• Code Quality & Testing: Write clean, strongly-typed code backed by comprehensive unit and integration tests. Champion best practices in code reviews.
• DevOps & CI/CD: Contribute to the setup and maintenance of CI/CD pipelines and local development environments (containers), ensuring rapid and reliable deployment.
• Collaboration: Work closely with the Tech Lead and product stakeholders to refine requirements, estimate tasks, and solve complex technical challenges.

Experience that will put you ahead of the curve:

• Backend Proficiency: Solid experience with PHP-based backend services (whether that is Laravel or Symfony or another framework) and API development following best practices (modern tooling, typed code, building a culture around testing and maintainability)
• Modern Frontend Mastery: Strong experience building complex, dynamic web applications, with modern tools like TypeScript. You understand the nuances of Server-Side Rendering (SSR) vs. Client-Side Rendering (CSR).
• Component Architecture: The ability to build performant, reusable UI components in modern JS frameworks like Alpine.js and React with tools like Tailwind.
• Workflow Engine Awareness: Experience with (or a strong desire to learn) Temporal.io or similar orchestration frameworks to manage distributed systems and long-running processes.
• Data Handling: Experience working with databases and marshaling data from various external APIs.
• Operational Mindset: You are solution-oriented and understand that software is meant to solve real-world operational problems (e.g., automating manual finance work).
• Product Design Mindset: You care about the product you build and the people who use it. You care about and will actively shape UX, flows and features.
