We’re working with a growing, technology-led business that operates a high-traffic, customer-facing digital platform at the core of its operations.

They’ve recently appointed a Technical Development Lead and strengthened their in-house engineering team with both Senior and Mid-Level Developers. They’re continuing to grow and are now looking for another experienced PHP/Laravel Engineer to help develop and enhance their business-critical customer application platform, modernise legacy systems and play a key role in its future development.

Real impact – Work on a system used daily by customers and internal teams

You’ll be working on a high-volume application platform , primarily built in Laravel, with some legacy PHP components still in place.

This is a hands-on role focused on building, improving, and modernising the platform alongside a Technical Lead and external development partners.

Key Things You’ll Be Doing

  • Developing features across a Laravel-based platform
  • Supporting the transition away from legacy PHP components
  • Working on APIs, integrations, and backend services
  • Collaborating with a Technical Lead, external developers, and internal stakeholders
  • Contributing to improvements in code quality and system design

What You’ll Bring

Strong experience with PHP, Laravel, and MySQL

Comfortable working in real-world systems (not everything perfect!)

Experience with APIs and integrations

A proactive mindset – someone who enjoys improving systems

The Benefits? (Skinny)

25 days holiday + bank holidays + birthday off
