About Us: Forsyth Barnes partnered with a fast‑growing Nottingham‑based eCommerce healthcare business built on a simple idea: healthcare should feel personal, accessible, and human. They combine online consultations with discreet home delivery and clinician‑led support, helping over 100,000 patients across the UK. As the business scales, they are now strengthening their engineering function to improve how their core platform is built, extended, and evolved.
Job Description: This is a hands‑on senior engineering role focused on building, improving, and extending the core platform. You will work closely with the founders and take ownership of key areas of the product from WordPress/WooCommerce development through to custom integrations, APIs, and performance optimisation.

- Develop custom plugins, themes, and backend functionality (PHP)
- Design and integrate APIs and third‑party systems
- Work across the full stack (PHP + JavaScript)

- Contribute to architecture and technical decision‑making
- Support and mentor other developers where required
- Work directly with founders to shape product direction
Requirements:
- Strong commercial experience with PHP development
- Proven experience with WordPress and/or WooCommerce
- Experience building custom plugins or themes
- Strong understanding of JavaScript (vanilla, React or Vue preferred)
- Experience with APIs and third‑party integrations
