Job Description

We’re hiring a Senior Laravel Engineer to join our engineering team and help modernize and strengthen our core systems. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in an established technical direction, values execution over experimentation, and takes pride in shipping reliable, well-crafted code.

You’ll work closely with our CTO, lead by example, and support junior developers with mentorship and discipline. Your focus will be on thoughtful iteration — not sweeping rewrites.

PHP Laravel Engineer Key Responsibilities:

  • Write clean, stable code in our PHP 8 / Laravel 9 monolith
  • Improve legacy systems incrementally without unnecessary disruption
  • Follow technical leadership and align with team goals
  • Mentor junior engineers and champion best practices
  • Collaborate with DevOps and security tools (Vapor, Snyk, Cloudflare)
  • Communicate effectively around estimates, blockers, and delivery
  • Contribute consistently in a structured, team-first environment

What We’re Looking For:

  • 5+ years of hands-on experience with PHP and Laravel in production
  • Strong knowledge of Laravel conventions and ecosystem
  • Confidence working in and improving legacy codebases
  • Basic React skills (enough to debug and stabilize, not rebuild)
  • Familiarity with DevOps: AWS, CI/CD, CLI tools, etc.
  • Detail-oriented with a pragmatic, problem-solving mindset
  • A steady, mature contributor who builds trust through delivery
  • Experience mentoring and promoting solid engineering practices

What We Offer:

  • Small, Close-Knit Team: Work in a collaborative, supportive environment
  • Growth-Focused Culture: Opportunities for professional development and ownership
  • Top-tier Equipment: MacBook Pro and all the tools you need
  • Monthly Dev Day: One dedicated day per month for deep development work
  • Fast-Growing Product: Contribute to a product with strong momentum and purpose
  • Flexible Schedule: Flexitime, Monday to Friday
  • Remote-Friendly: Hybrid role with Chichester as a home base

Benefits:

  • Casual dress and friendly company culture
  • Company events and pension scheme
  • Private medical and dental insurance
  • Health & Wellbeing Programme
  • Free on-site parking
  • Sick pay and referral bonus
  • Work-from-home options

Application Question:

  • Do you hold a valid UK driving licence?

Experience:

  • PHP: 5 years (preferred)
  • Language: English (required)

Education:

  • A-Level or equivalent (preferred)

Work authorisation:

  • United Kingdom (required)

Work Location:

  • Chichester

Position: Senior Laravel Engineer  -  Job Type: Full-time  -  Salary: £40,000–£50,000 per year  -  Location: Hybrid (Chichester-based)

Applicants must be based in the UK and legally eligible to work without sponsorship.
