4 days a week onsite - London - up to £100k DOE

We are looking for a talented Developer to join our client, a leading company focused on delivering high-quality software solutions. This innovative organisation excels in creating effective solutions while navigating the complexities of high-throughput systems.

In this role, you will create effective software designs based on product requirements, producing well-structured and testable code. You will apply industry best practices and internal standards to ensure that solutions are performant and observable through metrics and monitoring. Balancing technical solutions with commercial constraints is essential as you provide technical mentorship to less experienced team members. You will scope and estimate work, delivering results both as an individual contributor and through collaboration with others. Additionally, you will own technical solutions end-to-end, including in production, while demonstrating the ability and willingness to adapt to technical changes.

Who We Are Looking For:

• At least 5 years of experience as a Developer
• Strong knowledge of modern PHP 8+ (Laravel/Symfony)
• Experience building platforms using event-based architecture and CQRS
• Familiarity with AWS Services such as Aurora, MSK Kafka, ECS, and EMR
• Experience writing automated unit and integration tests
• Excellent practical experience with Docker
• Strong understanding of SOLID principles and design patterns
• Hands-on experience with one or more DevOps tooling platforms
• Experience engineering high availability and high throughput OLTP platforms
• Good understanding of design principles behind scalable applications

If you believe you have the expertise and passion to excel in this role, we would love to hear from you!
