Are you a passionate PHP Developer who fancies Friday afternoons off?
We’re looking for a PHP Developer to join a growing digital team, working across a mix of existing client projects and brand-new, greenfield builds.
This is a role for someone who enjoys getting properly stuck in , contributing ideas, solving real problems, and building solid, well-thought-out solutions alongside a small, collaborative development team.
If you’re comfortable in modern PHP, enjoy variety in your work, and like the idea of having a genuine say in what gets built and how, you’ll feel at home here.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be working closely with a tight-knit dev team to build and support digital products for a range of interesting customers.
Day to day, that includes:
- Developing new features and products using modern PHP and MVC frameworks
- Working on greenfield builds as well as supporting and improving existing client projects
- Building bespoke web APIs to be consumed by frontend applications
- Triaging helpdesk tickets and supporting clients with issues or requests for work
- Getting involved in in-house hack projects that help shape the future direction of the business
- Collaborating with designers, developers and stakeholders to deliver clean, scalable solutions
Why you’ll be a great fit
You’re a PHP Developer who enjoys writing clean code, learning new things, and being part of a team that values collaboration over ego.
What you’ll bring:
- Strong experience working with modern PHP (PHP 8+)
- Hands-on experience with at least one PHP MVC framework (we use Laminas, but Laravel, Symfony, etc. are all relevant)
- A solid understanding of object-oriented principles
- Experience building and consuming JSON-based RESTful APIs
- Confident use of Composer and Git
- A proactive mindset and willingness to get involved across projects
Nice to have, but not essential:
- Experience using Docker
- Full-stack skills (React.js, CSS)
- An interest in SysAdmin / DevOps — AWS, Kubernetes and infrastructure work is part of the wider environment
You’ll need to be UK-based, as there will be occasional client meetings and in-person team days.
What’s in it for you
You’ll be joining a genuinely supportive, friendly team where ideas are welcomed, and people are trusted to do their job well.
On top of that, you’ll get:
- 4.5-day working week (yes, Friday afternoons off)
- Hybrid working
- £1,200 annual conference & training budget
- Top quality equipment
- Christmas period off
- Your birthday off
