What We’re Looking For
- 2–4 years of hands-on PHP development experience (Laravel preferred)
- Experience working with MySQL or PostgreSQL
- Familiarity with front-end development using React, Vue, or similar
- Working knowledge of AWS services such as EC2, RDS, S3 (or willingness to learn)
- Comfortable working in Git-based workflows
- Strong attention to detail and commitment to writing secure, scalable code
- A collaborative mindset and a willingness to learn from and support your team
Nice to Have
- Experience with Docker or other containerization tools
- Exposure to CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, Bitbucket Pipelines, etc.)
- Awareness of web application security and performance best practices
- Interest in product thinking and user experience
- Previous experience in regulated sectors (insurance, legal, financial services)
What’s On Offer
- Competitive salary based on experience
- Flexible hybrid working – just 1 day per week in our Heald Green office
- Opportunity to grow with a supportive, forward-thinking engineering culture
- Work on real-world platforms that impact customers and teams daily
- Pathway to a Senior Developer role as the company and product evolve
- A voice in shaping the team, processes, and technologies we use
