Full-Time Laravel Software Developer
Job Description
Software Developers are a key part of Alley’s team. This position is for a developer to work on a specific Laravel/Vue project. You would work collaboratively with other members of the Alley team as well as with the client’s principals. This is a temporary full time position (approximately 6 months) with the option to become a permanent team member.
Our developers need to be well-rounded technologists who have a holistic understanding of the web technology stacks that we work with and are able to interface with clients in a professional way.

Our interview process has four stages including a phone interview, two video interviews, and a final interview in Slack. We are happy to make accommodations for candidates who may use screen readers, audio captioning devices, interpreters, or other accessibility aids. If you have any questions about our hiring process, or if you would like to request an accommodation for any stage of our process, please contact us at

. Please note that requesting accommodations will have no impact on your consideration for hire.
Qualifications
- You must be fully fluent in PHP and Laravel, with at least 3 years working with PHP professionally and 1 year working with Laravel professionally.
- On the frontend, we are using Vue and Tailwind. Previous experience is a plus, and a willingness to learn each is essential.
- You should feel comfortable at a Unix command line, even if you aren’t an expert.
- You must know your way around git and understand version control well, and be able to carry out typical operations with it, including branching, merging, submitting code for peer review, and reviewing your peers’ code yourself.
- We apply Scrum as a development methodology, and broadly endorse Agile as a philosophy. You must be open to working this way as well, and prior experience is a plus.
- You should also have very strong written and verbal communication skills, and the ability to wield them with both team members and clients.
- Important “soft skills” at Alley include: discipline concerning delivery dates, stylistic appreciation of what makes code good and readable, and a committed attitude about documentation, user stories, issue tracking, and timesheets.

How to Apply

Please provide links to at least three separate code samples, along with a description of each detailing what you wrote, why you’re proud of it, and how it reflects your experience and abilities. At least one of your code samples must demonstrate PHP knowledge. It’s OK if you didn’t write 100% of the code you submit because you were part of a team that worked on it together, or because it includes open source components.
