We have an exciting opportunity here at AllPoints Fibre (APFN) to welcome a Full Stack Developer. We would love to speak with experienced back end developers who have some experience in coding environments and a strong understanding in the concepts and foundational elements of coding and testing.

We are looking for someone who has extensive commercial experience in backend languages such as PHP or Java. The role will suit someone who is eager to learn, has strong analytical and problem solving skills with an ability to work on multiple things at once.

You will need:

• Strong understanding of PHP / Java or similar backend languages
• Experience with object-oriented programming concepts
• Experience with any modern web framework
• Knowledgeable in API concepts 
• Understanding of database concepts and some experience with MySQL or similar databases
• Knowledge of software testing principles
• Understanding of containerization concepts

Technologies we work with:

• PHP 8 with Laravel framework
• MySQL databases
• Object-Oriented Programming (OOP) and MVC architecture
• RESTful APIs and JSON
• Git version control and GitHub
• Testing frameworks (PHPUnit)
• Docker containerization

About the role, the team and the business:

Acting within an Agile software development team, you will build, test, document, and maintain services and APIs that help our customers (internal and external) serve their needs.

We operate a very flat structure in our development teams so that each team member is expected to manage their own workload, and pick the most appropriate thing to work on next. That means every team member needs to be able to perform almost any task!

We want everybody to be fully prepared for every sprint, and know what’s coming up, but you’ll be expected to challenge if any information is unclear or ambiguous.

Our APIs connect to a myriad of other systems, both in-house and external, which means working with cutting-edge API technology, but also being willing and able to work with older APIs where the need arises.

Our work is a very collaborative process, so you’ll need to get involved in planning it, estimating it, and reviewing it. We plan the team’s work, not your work, so you’ll need to be actively involved in choosing the most important things to get done. Every day is different! 

The benefits at APF...

At AllPoints Fibre, we're all about looking after you. We offer an extensive wellbeing package that goes beyond the EAP. Your benefits will include Bupa private medical insurance and dental cover, income protection insurance, group life insurance and a health plan to help with day to day expenses such as eye care... we will even pay for you to get a massage!

Everyone needs a break now and then, right? That's why we start all our employees off with a generous 30 days' annual leave allowance (pro rata), plus bank holidays. And if you ever need some extra time off due to illness or parental leave, we've got enhanced leave plans in place to support you through that.

Additionally we know how important it is to feel secure with your finances. That's why we have benefits dedicated to your financial wellbeing. You will be able to join our employer contributory pension and in addition to income protection insurance, group life insurance we offer cashback and voucher schemes to help cover living cost such as electricals and personal spending.
