We’re working with a growing, technology-led business that operates a high-traffic, customer-facing digital platform at the core of its operations.
Following recent hires into the senior engineering team, they’re continuing to build out their in-house development capability and are now looking for a PHP Developer / Software Engineer to join the team.
This is a great opportunity for a mid-level engineer who wants to develop alongside experienced Laravel developers whilst still having genuine ownership and impact.
The Why? (just a couple of highlights…)
Join at the right time – Become part of a growing internal engineering team taking greater ownership of a business-critical platform
Progress & develop – Work alongside experienced senior engineers with plenty of opportunity to broaden your skills and responsibilities
The What?
You’ll be working on a high-volume customer application platform, primarily built in Laravel, with some legacy PHP components still in place.
This is a backend-focused role where you’ll be developing new functionality, modernising existing systems and working across APIs, integrations and databases.
Key Things You’ll Be Doing
- Developing backend functionality using PHP & Laravel
- Building and integrating REST APIs
- Working extensively with MySQL
- Supporting the modernisation of legacy PHP applications
- Improving performance, reliability and code quality
- Working alongside experienced senior engineers and technical leadership
- Contributing ideas and improvements rather than simply picking up tickets
What You’ll Bring
Commercial experience with PHP & Laravel
Good understanding of MySQL / relational databases
Experience with REST APIs and integrations
Comfortable working with existing systems as well as building new functionality
A proactive mindset and genuine desire to continue developing technically
Nice to have?
AWS, Docker, CI/CD, Redis, Terraform or Vue.js exposure would all be useful – but you don’t need to tick every box.
The Benefits? (Skinny)
Hybrid – 2 days per week in Warrington
25 days holiday + bank holidays + birthday off
- Excellent opportunity to develop within a growing internal engineering team
