Senior PHP Developer

Senior Software Engineer (Laravel / PHP)

Hybrid – Warrington (1/2 days per week)

Up to £55,000

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 the recent hire of a Lead Developer, they’re now building out their in-house engineering team and are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to support the next phase of growth.

The Why? (just a couple of highlights...)

🔹 Build from the inside out – Join early as the internal team takes ownership of a critical platform

🔹 Real impact – Work on a system used daily by customers and internal teams

The What?

You’ll be working on a high-volume application platform, primarily built in Laravel, with some legacy PHP components still in place.

This is a hands-on role focused on building, improving, and modernising the platform alongside a Technical Lead and external development partners.

Key Things You’ll Be Doing

• Developing features across a Laravel-based platform
• Supporting the transition away from legacy PHP components
• Working on APIs, integrations, and backend services
• Collaborating with a Technical Lead, external developers, and internal stakeholders
• Contributing to improvements in code quality and system design

What You’ll Bring

✅ Strong experience with PHP, Laravel, and MySQL

✅ Comfortable working in real-world systems (not everything perfect!)

✅ Experience with APIs and integrations

✅ A proactive mindset – someone who enjoys improving systems

The Benefits? (Skinny)
