Job description

Senior PHP Developer (R&D) - Doncaster (Hybrid Remote) - £60k

Laravel & Python/AI | POC and R&D Builds | On-site Gym | Bonus Scheme

Ada Meher are currently working with a client in Doncaster as they recruit a Senior PHP Developer to join their Innovations Team working on Proof of Concepts and AI-enablement. This team is responsible for seeking out opportunities across the business to implement new technology to optimise operations and delivery. As such, you would be joining colleagues from multiple disciplines, such as data analytics & operations, and be responsible for building out PoC and resulting project work.

The wider project delivery development teams in the business use a PHP/Laravel/Vue stack and therefore a lot of the builds will be focused in this area, and as such the successful applicant will have skills in this area. However, there is also an appetite for the successful candidate to be creative and look at emerging technologies and AI enablement in this role, so the successful candidate will also have a curiosity and desire to look at technologies outside of this core stack.

Based in Doncaster the company operate a hybrid model, with the development team coming into the office 3 days per week. However given the level of stakeholder engagement required in this position, whilst hybrid work is still available, it is likely to have a slightly heavier in office leaning & as such candidates should be based within a commutable distance of Doncaster and willing to travel into the office as needed.

The company in question is a market leader in the Insurance sector with the technology they work on and the boundaries they try to push. They also aspire to create a relaxed environment where people can work on forward thinking technology solutions.

To Be Considered:

• Strong experience in PHP/ Laravel Development
• Creative problem solving / programming skills
• An interest in emerging technologies and AI-enablement
• Experience with Software Optimisations and Performance Tuning
• Any experience with AI/Python would be a benefit
