We're an award-winning digital agency based in Somerset, working with a mix of ecommerce, automotive and specialist brands. For over 18 years, we've specialised in creating bespoke solutions that transform businesses.
Over the past couple of years we've shifted from traditional web builds into a more product-led, performance-driven model. That means better platforms, deeper client relationships, and more responsibility on the development team to deliver work that actually moves the needle.
Joining us means you'll be part of a dynamic team of like-minded developers who share a passion for innovation and quality. It's the perfect place to grow your skills, collaborate on exciting projects, and make a real impact. You're not a cog in a machine. You'll have a direct impact on what we build, how we build it, and how we improve over time.
The Role
We're looking for a developer who sits slightly on the senior side of midweight.
This isn't a role for someone early in their career. We need someone who can get up to speed quickly and contribute from the outset.
You'll be working across a mix of:
* High-traffic Ecommerce platforms with real scale and complexity
* Ongoing development and optimisation work for retained clients
* Bespoke builds using our internal platform and Laravel
A big part of the role is being comfortable stepping into existing codebases, understanding how things work, and moving them forward without needing everything rebuilt from scratch.
The ideal candidate will possess a strong command of modern web development technologies and best practices, with a proven track record of delivering high-quality, scalable, and user-centric web solutions.
You will collaborate closely with designers, project managers, and other developers throughout the project lifecycle, from initial concept and wireframing through to deployment and ongoing maintenance. URL examples with your application are hugely beneficial.
How We Work
Most of our work is built on:
* Laravel (and Livewire)
* A custom platform we've developed and continue to evolve
* Modern frontend approaches alongside some legacy elements you'll need to navigate
We're pragmatic. We don't chase trends for the sake of it, but we do expect people to care about doing things properly and improving how we work over time.
What You'll Be Doing
* Building and maintaining websites and ecommerce platforms
* Working across both new builds and ongoing client updates
* Picking up and improving existing codebases
* Collaborating with the team to deliver projects properly, not just quickly
* Contributing to how we evolve our platform and development practices
What We're Looking For
* Experience in web development
* Strong Laravel experience (or very close equivalent)
* Comfortable working across multiple projects and priorities
* Able to get to grips with existing systems quickly
* Solid understanding of frontend fundamentals (JS, CSS, templating)
* Experience in an agency or fast-paced environment is helpful but not essential
* Someone who takes ownership and doesn't need constant direction
Key Technologies
* HTML
* PHP (8.x)
* Laravel and Livewire
* MySQL
* Tailwind and/or SCSS/CSS
* Version control via Git
* Blade, Twig and PHP templating
* Automated testing
* CLI for testing, deployment and scripting
* REST based APIs
Desirable but Not Essential
* Github CI/CD
* React/NextJS
* Typescript
* Figma
* Google Analytics (4) tracking experience
Working Setup
* Hybrid role - typically 2 days per week in Taunton
* Flexible where needed, but we do value time together as a team
* 25 days holiday + bank holidays (rising to 30)
* Health and wellbeing support
* Life cover
* Cycle to Work scheme
