I'm working on a brilliant opportunity for a PHP Developer who's ready to take ownership of a product that's already transforming operations-and is set to be commercialised.

This isn't just another dev role. You'll be part of a small, agile team building a fully custom web and mobile platform that powers everything from job scheduling and payroll to CRM, HR, and compliance. It's already live, but there's so much more to build-and you'll be right at the heart of it.

Why this role stands out:

• You'll be working on a real product with real users-not just internal tools or client projects
• The roadmap includes scaling, commercialisation, and new feature development
• You'll collaborate directly with senior stakeholders-your work will be seen, used, and valued
• It's a fast-paced, high-impact environment where your ideas will shape the future of the platform

Essential Tech Stack & Skills needed:

• PHP (strong experience essential)
• TALL stack: Tailwind, Alpine.js, Laravel, Livewire
• LAMP stack familiarity
• PHP Unit / feature testing
• AWS (Linux server & MySQL admin)
• CI/CD pipeline setup & maintenance
• JIRA or similar project management tools

Desirable experience includes:

• Zend Certified PHP Engineer
• PHP Development Certification
• MySQL Certification
• Degree in Computer Science or similar (not essential)

If you're a PHP Developer who wants to build something meaningful, work closely with decision-makers, and be part of a product's journey from internal tool to market-ready platform-this is the one.
