Job description

Fed up of being handed Jira tickets and told to just get on with them?

Maybe you'd like to have a bit more say in what you're building.

Not just picking up small tasks, but actually taking an idea, deciding how it should work and seeing it through to production.

That's exactly what you'll get here.

You'll join a small development team working on two established software products used by universities, hospitals, residential developments and other organisations across the UK.

The business is growing, there's a product roadmap stretching into 2028, and they need another developer to help shape what comes next.

Why might this be a good move for you?

• Proper ownership. You'll take features from initial idea through to release, with a genuine say in technical decisions.
• Almost fully remote. You'll work from home, with around five office visits a year. You can be based anywhere in the UK.
• Flexibility. Flexible working hours and a manager who cares more about what you deliver than when you're sitting at your desk.
• Interesting projects. New payment functionality, residential parking technology, API integrations and plenty of new features to build.
• Career progression. You'll be joining a small team with plans to grow, giving you the opportunity to take on more senior responsibilities.
• A manager who trusts you. No micromanagement. You'll have the freedom to work in the way that suits you.

What will you need?

You will need commercial experience building applications with PHP and Laravel, alongside good knowledge of MySQL, APIs and automated testing.

Ideally, you've already had experience taking ownership of features rather than simply working through tickets.

The frontend uses Blade, Livewire and Alpine.js, so experience with those would be useful, but isn't essential.

You don't need 10 years of experience. If you're a capable Laravel developer who can take an idea and turn it into working software, I'd love to hear from you.

Location: Remote UK, with approximately five office visits per year.
