PHP Laravel Engineer (ID: wWOyRKxm)

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
