Digital Gurus
Digital Gurus are a Silver Sponsor for PHPNW17.
Having a passion and a real interest in the tech world, we do it differently. We take a genuine interest in your tech stack, the type of projects you like to work on, and most importantly, the direction in which you’re looking to take your career. Whether you’re looking to learn a new MVC framework or ditch that CMS for more bespoke code, we’re all ears. We listen to what you want and provide you with the opportunities that best match what you’re looking for.
We are a start-up Digital recruitment agency, based in the heart of Manchester. Though Digital Gurus has been around for 9 years, they had never had a presence in the North.
We work in the Permanent, Contract & Freelance markets with clients ranging from small start-ups to blue-chip, globally-recognised brands. We have certain criteria we look for in a client before agreeing to work with them. We are very account focussed and consider our clients as partners; even in Open Market, we work with a non-transactional ethos.
Each consultant specialises in their own vertical field within digital, split between Creative, Digital Marketing and Technical. By specialising, we ensure that our Gurus become experts in their field. We have the time and resources to allow people to really get to know the area they work in, allowing for detailed talks around your current role and the way in which you want to progress forward.
Passenger
Passenger is growing and we’re looking for skilled PHP developers to help us expand. We’re working on things like journey planning, mobile ticket security and real-time information, whilst rolling out other platforms like smart homes and chatbots.
Passenger is predominantly written in PHP, heavily featuring Symfony 3, MongoDB, Drupal, AWS and DDD principles. We use sensible DevOpsy things like git, Jenkins CI, Vagrant and Ansible. Passenger consists of multi-tenanted tools, to work with open data like Open Street Map, and APIs that power multiple native iOS/Android 5* mobile ticketing and information apps/websites across the UK.
We’re part of Base, a technology company in sunny Bournemouth, specialising in the development of digital products. Base is a community-focused company, having organised the ReDevelop conference for developers on the south coast and is well known in the local PHP community, supporting PHP Dorset and speaking at PHP events.
