Salary:

Who we are
We're BrokerCentral – a rapidly growing SaaS company modernising the UK insurance sector. Insurance might not sound exciting, but building technology that transforms the way brokers work definitely is.
We're a small, energetic, and supportive team with big ambitions – and now we're looking for a
Developer
to join us. This role is perfect for someone with a solid foundation in PHP/Laravel who's eager to learn, grow, and also get stuck into helping our clients use the platform.
What's the job?
Reporting to our Technical Director, you'll be involved in:
* Developing new features in our Laravel-based platform
* Fixing bugs and improving existing functionality
* Supporting our clients by helping diagnose and resolve technical issues
* Working with APIs, databases, and cloud services
* Collaborating with the team to bring ideas to life
This isn't a siloed role – you'll see the impact of your work first-hand and have the chance to grow your skills quickly.
What we're looking for
You don't need years of experience, but you should bring:
* Good PHP coding ability and an understanding of OOP/MVC
* Some experience with the Laravel framework
* Basic MySQL knowledge (schema design, queries, indices)
* Familiarity with HTML/CSS/JavaScript
* A willingness to learn new tools (Composer, NPM, Docker, AWS, etc.)
* Confidence using Linux command line basics
* Strong communication skills – comfortable working with both the team and clients
* If you've dabbled in dev ops, Docker, or AWS, that's a bonus – but not essential.
What's on offer
* £28k – £30k base salary + performance bonus
* Full-time role with flexible working hours
* Training and support with plenty of opportunities to learn and progress
* Casual dress, friendly environment
* Choose your kit (MacBook, PC – whatever helps you do your best work)
* Town centre office with parking season ticket
* Employee assistance programme
* Team lunches and socials
We don't do beanbags, buzzwords, or endless meetings – we want you to learn, grow, and genuinely enjoy what you do. You'll be valued as a key part of our core team from day one.
