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
