Job description
A Bit About Us
We are a high-growth start-up in the construction technology sector who build hardware and software systems that are used for automating jobs on infrastructure construction sites. Our products are helping to drive construction into the 21st Century through digitalisation and automation. HDS systems improve road construction quality, extend asset life, improve site health & safety, and help to reduce costs in an industry with very tight margins.
Why Are We Hiring?

What Experience Do We Need?
For this role, we are looking for a backend PHP developer with about 3 -4 years' experience, as well as a computer engineering education or relevant background with curriculums like data structure and algorithms. Must have full life cycle experience on web projects from start to release.
A good GitHub profile will be helpful.
