Senior PHP Developer

We’re a fast-growing SaaS business building a platform used by customers every single day — and we’re looking for an experienced Laravel Developer who wants to have real ownership, real influence, and real impact.

This isn’t a “ticket factory” role. You’ll be working on core product features, improving performance and scalability, and shaping the future of a modern SaaS platform alongside a highly collaborative product and engineering team.

If you enjoy solving real problems, writing clean, elegant code, and seeing your work shipped fast, you’ll feel right at home.

What you’ll be doing

• Designing, building and maintaining scalable backend systems using Laravel
• Developing new product features end-to-end — from concept to production
• Working with APIs, integrations and third-party services
• Improving performance, security and reliability across the platform
• Collaborating closely with product, frontend and DevOps teams
• Contributing to technical decisions, architecture and best practices
• Continuously improving code quality, testing and documentation

What we’re looking for

• Strong commercial experience with Laravel and PHP
• Solid understanding of MVC architecture and RESTful APIs
• Experience working with relational databases (MySQL / PostgreSQL)
• Familiarity with queues, background jobs and caching
• Comfortable working in a SaaS or product-led environment
• Someone who cares about clean code, maintainability and performance
• A proactive mindset — you like improving things, not just maintaining them

Nice to have (but not essential)

• Experience with Vue, React or modern frontend frameworks
• Exposure to cloud platforms and containerised environments
• Experience working on high-traffic or scaling SaaS products
• Automated testing and CI/CD experience

Why join us?

• A genuine product-first SaaS business — no agency work, no client chaos
• Real ownership and influence over the product and technical direction
• A supportive, collaborative engineering culture
• Modern tech stack with time to do things properly
• Clear progression as the product and team scale
• Flexible working and a strong focus on work-life balance
