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 Prospect Path and Software Path are built using the Laravel PHP framework, React, Tailwind, and are hosted on AWS. Automated testing and deployment are handled by Github.
Our products are growing and improving, so we’re looking for someone who has experience maintaining and testing features, and creating new products. You should have at least two years of experience working in the industry with PHP, React, Javascript, and Tailwind.
Who are we?
Prospect Path is an equal opportunities employer, and we are committed to creating an environment that is inclusive as well as diverse 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.

Build features in their entirety
You’ll get to take ownership of the features you build, from requirements gathering, planning, and implementation right through to seeing them benefit our team and customers.
Use the latest technologies
We test and deploy our code using modern scalable cloud platforms. We build our features using the latest web frameworks and libraries. You’ll be involved in helping us to innovate as we discover and use the latest tools.
Grow with us
