Job Description:

£60,000 | Hybrid, 2 days per week in Leamington Spa

We’re looking for a Senior PHP Developer to join an established business with technology sitting at the heart of its operation.

You’ll help modernise a business-critical digital platform, moving away from legacy code and contributing to the development of a cleaner, more scalable PHP and Laravel-based architecture.

This is a hands on development role, but you’ll also have the opportunity to influence technical direction, improve engineering standards and work closely with teams across the wider business.

What you’ll be doing

  • Building and maintaining high-quality PHP and Laravel applications
  • Helping modernise legacy systems and develop a future-proof platform
  • Developing internal tools used across the business
  • Working alongside backend developers, frontend developers, UX, UI and content teams
  • Contributing to architecture and the wider technology strategy
  • Writing clean, tested and maintainable code
  • Reviewing code and sharing knowledge across the development team
  • Improving CI/CD, deployment processes and development standards

What we’re looking for

  • Strong commercial experience with PHP and Laravel
  • Good knowledge of MVC-based frameworks and MySQL
  • Experience working with legacy systems and modernisation projects
  • Understanding of HTML5 and CSS
  • AWS and Linux experience
  • Exposure to Terraform or other Infrastructure as Code tools
  • Experience with GitHub Actions, CI/CD and automated deployments
  • A test-driven approach to development
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills

You’ll suit this role if you’re careful, organised and take pride in producing well-engineered software. The team values high standards, collaboration and practical decision-making rather than unnecessary complexity.
