Build Meaningful Software. Shape Technical Direction. Enjoy Real Balance.

We’re partnering with an innovative and growing tech-driven business in York that’s looking for a Senior Software Engineer to play a key role in delivering high-quality, scalable solutions for their clients.

This is more than just a coding role. You’ll be trusted to influence technical decisions, mentor others, and help shape how software is built across the business, all while enjoying a flexible hybrid setup and a genuinely people-first culture.

The Opportunity

As a Senior Web Developer, you’ll be at the heart of the development team, working on modern applications that make a real impact. You’ll collaborate closely with product owners, designers, and fellow engineers to turn ideas into robust, well-engineered solutions.

You’ll have the autonomy to do things properly, the support to keep learning, and the space to balance work with life outside of it.

Designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality software using PHP (Laravel) and modern frameworks
Collaborating with cross-functional teams to translate business requirements into elegant technical solutions
Taking ownership of code quality through reviews, best practices, and continuous improvement
Solving complex technical challenges and driving improvements across existing systems
Mentoring and supporting junior developers, helping them grow and succeed

What We’re Looking For

Strong commercial experience as a Software Engineer / Developer
Deep knowledge of PHP and Laravel
Solid experience with databases (MySQL, SQL Server) and RESTful APIs
Comfortable working with Git and within agile development environments
A proactive problem-solver who takes ownership and thrives in collaborative teams
Excellent communication skills, able to explain technical ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
A Computer Science degree is welcome, but real-world experience matters more

Why You’ll Love Working Here

We believe great software is built by people who feel supported, trusted, and valued. That’s why we offer a benefits package that genuinely enhances your day-to-day life:

Hybrid working (work from home 2 days a week)
Flexi-time – work the hours that suit you
Competitive company pension for long-term security
Profit share scheme – share in the success you help create
Children’s birthday off – because family comes first
Paid volunteer time to support causes you care about
Gym membership to support your health and wellbeing
