  • Version control (GIT preferred).
  • Proficient in MySQL / MariaDB (at a client level, administration would be a nice-to-have).

Our web applications utilise a number of varied technologies, so we don’t expect you to have experience in all of them but any additional experience or interest in the following areas would certainly be useful:

·       Composer and PSR-4 auto-loading

·       Linux

·       Unit Testing.

·       Redis and MongoDB
