Full Stack Developer – PHP / JavaScript

Build software that makes a difference to how a growing business operates.

PASS Ltd is looking for an experienced Full Stack Developer to join our five-person development team in Thornaby.

You’ll take ownership of features from initial requirements through to delivery, developing PHP backend services and APIs alongside responsive, easy-to-use interfaces. Working closely with our developers and in-house designer, you’ll see the practical impact of your work across the business.

Founded in 2001, PASS supplies test and measurement equipment and provides calibration, servicing and training to customers across the UK. We support industries including energy, utilities, construction, manufacturing, transport and the public sector, with sites across Teesside, Leeds, Glasgow, Belfast and Stevenage.

Our in-house development team brings together web and .NET developers to build and improve the systems that support our business.

What you’ll be doing

• Developing and maintaining secure, reliable PHP applications and RESTful APIs.
• Turning designs into responsive interfaces that work across desktop and mobile.
• Designing relational databases, writing efficient SQL queries and managing data migrations.
• Connecting applications with internal systems and third-party services.
• Improving application performance, security and reliability.
• Troubleshooting issues across the full stack and delivering practical solutions.
• Working with colleagues to understand requirements, agree priorities and deliver well-built features.

What we’re looking for

• Strong commercial experience developing applications with PHP and object-oriented programming.
• Confident JavaScript, HTML and CSS skills.
• Experience with relational databases such as MySQL, including database design and query optimisation.

• Angular, React or Vue.
• Laravel, Symfony or another PHP framework.
• Tailwind CSS, SASS or LESS.
• Frontend state management, such as NgRx or Redux.

You don’t need experience with every framework listed. Strong PHP and JavaScript foundations, sound judgement and a willingness to learn are what matter.
