Job description

A hugely successful, rapidly growing fin‑tech company are looking for a Back‑End/DevOps Engineer to join an established, small development team across their user‑friendly platforms with new integrations and products. With a 4.8/5 Trustpilot score and a string of industry awards and recent investment, they’re ready to grow by another 70% next year. They need an experienced PHP/Laravel Developer with some DevOps experience in AWS or similar who has experience managing and configuring Docker environments for production.

What experience you’ll need

• Experience building and shipping production apps using PHP, Laravel API’s.
• DevOps experience in AWS or similar.
• Experience configuring and managing Docker environments for production, CI/CD and using tools like GitHub Actions or similar.
• Able to optimise performance and enable teams to ship with confidence.
• Ability to thrive in a fast‑paced, startup environment where your work has visible impact.
• Any experience/knowledge of cloud security principles, Flare, NewRelic or similar observability tooling would be great.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll be part of a team of 6‑7 developers maintaining and enhancing existing software products writing clean, scalable Laravel code to improve functionality and performance. In addition to back‑end development, they’ll look for you to help design and scale secure, robust infrastructure to support their full‑stack of API’s and web applications. Further duties will include building DevOps workflows that support CI/CD across multiple environments working with Docker and deployment tooling to ensure system resilience. You will ensure system observability through logging, metrics and alerts and help to write, improve and maintain automated tests (PHPUnit). Your work will assist people who are often unfairly overlooked for financial help so you should feel really good about what you’re building.

What you’ll get in return for your talents

A competitive salary of up to £65K, plus generous holiday allowance, company shares scheme, fun team events and social gatherings, enhanced pension plan, MacBook Pro, comprehensive training and development opportunities plus more. You’ll be part of a growing team working on challenging projects and a chance to have a real impact not just in the evolution of the products but in helping thousands of people.

What’s next?

You’ll be an integral part of their team, working closely online with other talented people. If you’re up to the challenge, can work well remotely and have the technical capabilities, please get your CV over to me asap for consideration 🙂
