Full Job Description

The technical development lead will guide the continuous development of Vits 's technology in a collaborative, effective and Agile manner leading a multidisciplinary technology team. High-quality software will be delivered using best-of-breed frameworks, such as Laravel, and components to support the requirements of a growing business.

Key areas of responsibility

  • collaborating openly and autonomously within a non-siloed, organic business structure

  • leading, coaching and growing a technology team of developers, UI and UX designers to deliver effective software within an Agile environment

  • working with product owners and project managers to establish formal requirements, produce technical specifications and deliver software to an agreed plan

  • identifying appropriate software architecture, approaches, frameworks and components to implement the business requirements

  • safe-guarding the stability, effectiveness and continuity of software development

  • maintaining and managing technical debt, security and compliance of in-house software

  • overseeing Vits 's hardware resources, in collaboration with the IT support partner


    • The role requires
  • experience of implementing software systems which leverage third-party APIs

  • expertise in the traditional PHP stack (PHP/MySQL/HTML/CSS/JavaScript) in modern frameworks such as Laravel or Symphony

  • implementing and working within service-oriented architectures and associated principles and standards, eg SOLID

  • good understanding of test approaches (eg unit versus integration)

  • a pragmatist who can achieve a balance between the creative approach of a developer and the needs of the business

    careful, organised and diligent - even meticulous - with a good dose of common sense

  • demanding of high standards, and at ease with demanding people

  • effective - but also efficient - in both the physical and digital realms

  • modestly confident, good-humoured and trustworthy

  • at home in the worlds of art, architecture, craft and design

  • informal but 100% professional, while respecting traditional courtesy and good manners
