Role Overview
We’re looking for a web application developer to join our development team. We’re looking for someone who is ready to jump right in to learn and develop our existing products and projects.
We have two key existing products: Prospect Path, a customer acquisition platform that allows software companies to find best fit customers; and Software Path, a software comparison site that helps people find great software for their team. Both are built using the Laravel PHP framework, React, Tailwind, and are hosted on AWS. Automated testing and deployment are handled by Github.
Company Overview
Prospect Path is an equal opportunities employer, and we are committed to creating an inclusive and diverse environment where all team members have the opportunity to thrive and develop.
We are a small company based in Newcastle upon Tyne, UK, although our team is fully remote and spread across the globe. We help people find great software for their business using our online publications and tools for software buyers and sellers.
