I've recently partnered with an Educational SaaS business that is based in Bristol and looking to add a PHP Developer to its growing team on a hybrid basis! The company has been operating for over 20 years and has built a market‑leading research platform used across the Education industry by leading universities and business schools across the UK and globally.

As the platform continues to evolve and become more widely used, the business has steadily grown and now needs to build up its tech team. In this role, you will play a key part in building new applications, product design, developing new UIs and pushing the business forward from a technical standpoint. The role leans more towards the backend with PHP but there is some front‑end work too. It is a small, tight‑knit team, so you'll get great exposure and growth opportunities, autonomy over your day, and the chance to work on a variety of projects.

The role is based in Bristol and requires office working of 3 days a week. No sponsorship can be offered and candidates need to be local.

Technical Requirements

• Minimum of 5 years PHP development experience
• Confident in front‑end technologies such as JavaScript, HTML, CSS & React
• Work with databases daily – MySQL, SQL Server
• Additional skills: Postgres, Git, Laravel
• Confident collaborating with multiple teams
• Happy working on different technical environments – platform, UI, applications
• Open to mentoring or leading teams in the future

Salary range: £50,000-£55,000

Benefits

• Pension
• Healthcare
• 25 days holiday
