Why This Role?

This isn't just another developer job — it's a chance to own key parts of a modern Laravel platform and help shape its future.

As a Senior PHP Full Stack Developer, you'll work with the TALL stack (Tailwind, Alpine, Laravel, Livewire), plus Docker, Redis, AWS, and CI/CD pipelines. You'll have autonomy, visibility, and the opportunity to make real architectural decisions that keep the platform fast, scalable, and production-ready.

If you enjoy solving complex problems, optimising systems, and pushing code that matters — this is the role for you.

What You'll Be Doing

Backend Leadership – Own service logic, scalable architecture, and integrations in Laravel (PHP 8+)

Queue Mastery – Improve reliability and error handling across background jobs & async processes

CI/CD & DevOps – Collaborate to strengthen pipelines, automated testing, and deployments

Containers & Environments – Manage Docker-based dev environments with multiple workers & services

Integrations – Work with APIs & services like Twilio, RingCentral, AWS

Frontend Collaboration – Contribute to UI components with Livewire, TailwindCSS, and Vite

Mentorship & Quality – Uphold coding standards, peer reviews, and guide best practices

Continuous Improvement – Tackle technical debt and contribute to long-term platform strategy

What We're Looking For
  • Strong PHP & Laravel (10+) experience
  • Full stack skills: Blade templating, Livewire components, TailwindCSS, Vite
  • Solid MySQL database design & optimisation experience
  • Skilled with Redis (queues, caching) and background job processing
  • Comfortable in containerised environments (Docker, docker-compose)
  • Experience with CI/CD workflows, Git, and modern dev practices
  • Strong communicator who collaborates well across functions
  • Pragmatic approach to testing (PHPUnit, CI pipelines)
  • Ability to work independently while influencing project direction
Why You'll Love It Here

Impact – You'll have autonomy and visibility in a high-impact role
Modern Stack – Work with Laravel 10+, TALL stack, Docker, Redis, AWS
Small Team, Big Voice – Your ideas won't get lost; you'll help shape the platform's future
Career Growth – Opportunity to contribute at both technical and strategic levels
