Formed in 2000, SOZO is an award-winning digital agency based in Cheltenham, UK. We are looking for a PHP developer to work on the development of complex comparison and B2B sites built within the Wordrpess ‘framework’ and ecosystem. This can be a remote or office based roll (in Cheltenham), but being close enough to come for occasional meetings would be useful.
