Senior PHP Software Engineer
Let’s get straight to it and hit you with hard facts: this is a permanent role, paying £55,000-£75,000 dependent on experience, with hybrid working practices - 3 days onsite per week ( close to Watford). If that works for you, please keep reading. If not, then I completely understand and wish you all the very best in your job search.
We’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who genuinely enjoys building clean, reliable, user‑friendly software — and who brings strong PHP, Laravel, and Postgres or MySQL experience to the table.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be building out new customer portals, account/device management system UI's etc. The platform is entirely PHP, but touches into backends via API's from other services that are built by another team. Supporting scripts, deployments etc using Python.
You’ll also be the person others come to for advice, so if you hate being asked questions, this may not be the ideal role for you!
What you’ll need
* Strong, hands‑on PHP and Laravel experience (this really is the non‑negotiable bit)
* Experience with Python, Postgres DB or MySQL.
* The ability to explain technical things without sending people to sleep
* A habit of writing code that works and makes sense
* Enough professional maturity to know when your idea is great — and when it isn't
* Past experience of either leading or mentoring less experienced software engineers
Finally …
The first interview will be via video, and the 2nd Interview will be undertaken in person involving a PHP based technical exercise, please ensure you're comfortable with this prior to applying. Applicants must also be able to work in the UK without restriction, unfortunately sponsorship cannot be provided.
If this sounds like the kind of role you’d enjoy, we’d love to hear from you.
