Senior full-stack developer

About the role

We're looking for an experienced full-stack developer to help shape the future of Eventware, our event technology platform.

At Sector Global, we develop technology that connects people, creates opportunities and helps deliver successful events around the world. Our platform is used by leading international event organisers, exhibitors and attendees.

You'll play an important role in developing and improving Eventware, building new functionality, solving technical challenges and helping us deliver secure, high-performance software.

We're looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, takes ownership of their work and wants to influence how products are developed, not simply implement specifications.

What you'll do

• Develop and enhance our Eventware platform using PHP, Laravel and Vue.js.
• Design and build secure, scalable and high-performance web applications.
• Develop and maintain APIs, third-party integrations and supporting services.
• Optimise application performance, database queries and overall system reliability.
• Take ownership of technical solutions, from understanding requirements and evaluating approaches through to implementation and deployment.
• Work closely with our product, design and delivery teams to create intuitive, reliable user experiences.
• Contribute to technical architecture, code reviews, testing and continuous improvement.
• Make effective use of AI-assisted development tools to improve productivity while maintaining high standards of security and code quality.

What we're looking for

We're looking for an experienced developer with strong technical skills, an analytical approach to problem-solving and the confidence to make informed technical decisions.

Essential skills and experience

• At least 5 years' commercial experience developing applications with PHP.
• Strong production experience with Laravel.
• Experience developing front-end applications using Vue.js.
• Strong knowledge of MySQL, relational database design and query optimisation.
• Good understanding of JavaScript, HTML, CSS and Sass.
• Experience developing and integrating APIs, particularly RESTful services.
• Experience with Git, code reviews and software testing.
• Understanding of secure software development practices, including OWASP principles.
• Experience with Docker and cloud-hosted applications.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools, or a willingness to adopt them as part of your development workflow.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work collaboratively with technical and non-technical colleagues.

Desirable experience

• Nuxt.js and TypeScript.
• AWS services, particularly containerised deployments using ECS or Fargate.
• CI/CD pipelines and automated testing.
• Integrating SOAP and XML-based services.
• Web accessibility and responsive application design.
• Experience developing SaaS platforms or applications serving large numbers of users.

Beyond your technical experience, we value curiosity, initiative and people who take pride in producing high-quality software.

Working at Sector Global

We're a friendly, collaborative company with an entrepreneurial approach to business. We encourage people to contribute ideas, challenge assumptions and take responsibility for the work they deliver.

You'll have the opportunity to influence product decisions, tackle interesting technical challenges and see your work used at major international events.

What we offer

• Hybrid working, with time split between home and our Clevedon office.
• 28 days' annual leave, including bank holidays, increasing to 33 days with length of service.
• Office closure between Christmas and New Year.
• Company pension scheme.
• Regular team gatherings and social events.
• Free on-site parking.
• Opportunities for international travel, if you're interested.
