Senior PHP Developer

We’re currently supporting a FTSE250 Wealth Management business who are continuing to invest heavily into their wider Technology, AI & Automation capability and are now looking to hire an Senior Developer (Integrations) into a newly evolving engineering environment. This role sits within a small, hands-on team where the focus is very much around building, developing and supporting modern applications and integrations across both internal systems and external SaaS platforms. Rather than a heavily architecture-led role, this position would suit someone who enjoys remaining close to the technology, owning development work directly whilst helping modernise integrations and improve connectivity across the wider business landscape. The environment is heavily focused around Azure PaaS services, backend development and secure API-led integrations, with strong visibility across wider digital transformation and automation initiatives internally. Key Areas:

• Building and supporting internal applications and integrations
• Developing secure API-led solutions (REST / GraphQL)
• Working across Azure PaaS services including Azure Functions & App Services
• Supporting modern integration approaches including API and event-driven solutions
• Contributing towards CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes
• Working closely with Development, Engineering and Project teams
• Supporting ongoing modernisation initiatives across the technology estate

Technical Environment:

• PHP (v8+)
• Laravel / Symfony / Yii2
• Azure PaaS
• Azure Functions
• REST APIs / GraphQL
• JavaScript / HTML / CSS
• MySQL / PostgreSQL
• Git / CI/CD
• Linux (CentOS / RedHat)
• Azure-native tooling and integrations

The Ideal Background:

• Strong hands-on software engineering capability
• Experience developing and maintaining production applications
• API and integration development experience
• Azure cloud/platform exposure
• Comfortable working within smaller engineering teams
• Interest in modernisation, automation and cloud-native development
• Any Financial Services or regulated sector experience would be beneficial

This is a genuinely interesting opportunity for somebody looking to combine hands-on engineering with strong technical ownership inside a business heavily investing into modernisation, automation and scalable cloud technologies.
