Senior Developer / Engineer / Analyst
We're working with a large, well-established UK organisation in the Higher Education sector to recruit a Senior Developer / Analyst to play a key role in the development, enhancement and operational support of their core Virtual Learning Environment.
This is a hands‑on technical role focused primarily on Moodle, with responsibility for integrations, performance, stability and continuous improvement of the platform and associated digital learning systems.
The Role
You Will
* Lead the development, configuration and optimisation of a large‑scale Moodle VLE

* Design and maintain REST‑based integrations with internal and third‑party systems
* Contribute to CI/CD, version control and modern development best practices
* Work closely with internal stakeholders and external suppliers to deliver robust, secure solutions
* Provide technical guidance within projects and contribute to service improvement initiatives
This role combines project delivery, system enhancement and 3rd‑line support within a collaborative but highly autonomous environment.
Key Experience (not All Essential)
* Strong commercial experience developing and supporting Moodle

* Solid PHP development skills (front‑end skills such as JavaScript/CSS beneficial)
* Experience with REST APIs and system integrations
* Linux environments and version control best practice
* Experience working in structured delivery environments (Agile, CI/CD etc.)
Experience within Higher Education or large, complex organisations would be advantageous but is not essential.
