The Products

The company has been a pioneer in providing technology solutions more than a decade. The core platform is used by millions of active users every month. Operating 24 hours a day, 365 days per year, and are a fundamental part of the UK's grassroots sports infrastructure, allowing teams to spend more time playing and less time on administrative work.

You'll be instrumental in keeping the system up-to-date and working on new products and features.


The GPS products operate as a separate, serverless application using Laravel Vapor (AWS Lambda) and leverages SingleStore to ingest, store, and process data from hardware wearable devices.


The Role

The team is looking to recruit a Senior/Lead Software Engineer with experience in developing complex web applications using PHP and Laravel with AWS and MySQL. It's a hands-on role with elements of coaching and mentorship for the wider team.


You'll join a small team of Software Engineers, working closely with a talented CTO. They love to experiment with the latest tools, technologies, and techniques to improve their award-winning platform.


Required Technical Skills;

  • Highly proficient with PHP, and ideally with the team's framework of choice - Laravel
  • Experience with relational databases (MySQL and/or PostgreSQL) and ideally at least one NoSQL or timeseries database (such as MongoDB or SingleStore)
  • A pragmatic attitude towards testing and confidence in writing automated tests
  • Experience with AWS - ideally experience with the key product suite - EC2, ECS, S3, CloudFront, RDS
  • Ability to take ownership of the entire lifecycle of a task from research and specification through development, testing, and deployment
  • Working knowledge of JavaScript (The team is using a mix of NodeJS, Next, and React at the moment)
  • API development
  • High attention to detail
  • Strong verbal & written communication skills


Desired Tech Skills (not essential but a chance to use these skills if you have them or learn them if you'd like to):

  • Knowledge of other programming languages (e.g., Go)
  • Advanced knowledge of a JavaScript framework (e.g., React, Vue, Angular)
  • Deeper experience with Amazon Web Services (e.g., Infrastructure as Code via CloudFormation or Terraform)


Flexible Working

The team has a split of people working in-office and remote first. With the remote first employees tend to work 1 day a week from the modern workspace in Leeds (with free parking). There are team members across the UK.


The Package

There is a starting salary of up to £70,000 with a strong benefits package designed to bring a good balance to your working life, including 25 days + bank holidays + your birthday. There’s a pensions plan and a range of flexible benefits including a healthcare cash plan.


You will be given a new Mac laptop and all the kit to do your job to the best of your ability.


There is dedicated time in the working week for upskilling and encouragement to keep learning with the opportunity for company-sponsored accreditations and qualifications.


You'll be supported with a structured onboarding and regular 1-2-1's with your line manager to review progress and provide support. It's a friendly, welcoming, and supportive culture with opportunities to progress.


The Next Steps:

This process can be done remotely or face-to-face and completed within a week.

2 - Technical chat with the CTO (40 minutes)

3 - Final interview with the CTO and Senior Developer (Onsite in Leeds)
