Job Description
Senior Software Engineer (Laravel / PHP)
Hybrid – Warrington (1 day per week)
Up to £60,000
We’re working with a growing, technology-led business that operates a high-traffic, customer-facing digital platform at the core of its operations.
Following the recent hire of a Lead Developer, they’re now building out their in-house engineering team and are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to support the next phase of growth.
The Why? (just a couple of highlights…)
🔹 Build from the inside out – Join early as the internal team takes ownership of a critical platform
🔹 Real impact – Work on a system used daily by customers and internal teams
The What?
You’ll be working on a high-volume application platform, primarily built in Laravel, with some legacy PHP components still in place.
This is a hands-on role focused on building, improving, and modernising the platform alongside a Technical Lead and external development partners.
Key Things You’ll Be Doing
- Developing features across a Laravel-based platform
- Supporting the transition away from legacy PHP components
- Working on APIs, integrations, and backend services
- Collaborating with a Technical Lead, external developers, and internal stakeholders
- Contributing to improvements in code quality and system design
What You’ll Bring
✅ Strong experience with PHP, Laravel, and MySQL
✅ Comfortable working in real-world systems (not everything perfect!)
✅ Experience with APIs and integrations
✅ A proactive mindset – someone who enjoys improving systems
The Benefits? (Skinny)
