We are looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer in Melbourne who can wear two hats: a hands-on senior Laravel developer who unblocks the team when they're stuck, and a project coordinator who keeps backend, frontend, and mobile app projects moving, tracking tasks, chasing deadlines, and keeping the Head of Projects informed with clear, accurate progress updates.
You will be the bridge between the Head of Projects and our onshore and offshore development teams, working across Laravel portals, React/Vue/HTML frontends, and iOS/Android mobile apps.
ITCC is a software development and digital agency specializing in web, digital, mobile, software and cloud technologies.
Key responsibilities
Project Coordination (Approx. 50%)
- Coordinate day-to-day delivery of backend, frontend, and mobile app projects across onshore and offshore teams
- Track tasks, sprints, and deadlines; follow up with developers to ensure work is completed on time and to spec
- Identify blockers and delays early, expedite risks to the Head of Projects, and drive resolution
- Provide regular, structured progress updates to the Head of Projects
- Assist in sprint planning, task breakdown, estimation, and resource allocation
- Coordinate iOS and Android developers' work alongside web development streams
- Participate in client project meetings, provide technical updates, clarify requirements, and communicate confidently in English
Hands-on development & technical leadership (Approx. 50%)
- Act as senior Laravel developer and technical lead for the backend team
- Step in to solve technical problems when developers are stuck, debugging, architecture guidance, code direction
- Review code quality, enforce standards, and mentor junior and mid-level developers
- Contribute directly to development on Laravel backends and React/Vue/HTML frontends when needed
- Ensure APIs and backends properly support connected iOS/Android mobile apps
Required skills & experience
- 5+ years of full-stack development experience, with strong depth in Laravel/PHP
- Strong understanding of REST APIs, MySQL, Git, and deployment workflows
- Working knowledge of mobile app development lifecycles (iOS/Android), enough to coordinate app developers and review API integration (hands-on mobile development not required)
- 2+ years of experience coordinating or leading development projects, task tracking, deadline management, team follow-ups
- Experience working with distributed/offshore teams
- Excellent spoken and written English, must be comfortable leading and contributing to client-facing meetings
- Strong ownership mindset, proactive follow-through without needing to be chased
Preferred / Advantage
- Experience with project management tools (Jira, Click Up, Asana, Trello or similar)
- Exposure to WordPress or Shopify projects
- Familiarity with CI/CD, server management (cPanel, AWS, or similar)
- Prior experience in a digital agency environment handling multiple concurrent client projects
What success looks like in this role?
- Projects run on schedule with blockers surfaced and resolved before they become delays
- The Head of Projects always has an accurate, up-to-date picture of every project's status
- Developers are supported and unblocked quickly; code quality stays high
- Clients experience clear, professional communication in every meeting
