About the role
Our development team builds and supports the systems that keep the business moving, from customer and order management through to logistics and internal operations.
We’re looking for a PHP Full Stack Developer to join the team and help us maintain, improve and develop these platforms. You’ll be working primarily with PHP, Laravel and MySQL, alongside JavaScript, HTML/CSS, REST APIs and Vue.js.
There’s plenty of variety in the role. You could be investigating an issue within a live system one day and developing an enhancement or working on the redevelopment of an existing module the next.
As you get to know our systems and the business behind them, you’ll have the opportunity to take greater ownership of development projects and help shape how key parts of our platforms evolve.
Our tech stack:
- PHP
- Laravel
- MySQL
- JavaScript
- HTML/CSS
- REST APIs
- Vue.js
PHP, Laravel and MySQL are at the core of this role. You don’t need to be an expert across every part of the stack, but you should be comfortable working across both backend and frontend development.
What you’ll be doing:
- Developing and maintaining applications using PHP and Laravel
- Building new features and improving existing functionality
- Investigating and resolving issues within live systems
- Working with MySQL, including queries and optimisation
- Developing and integrating REST APIs
- Supporting frontend development with JavaScript, HTML and CSS
- Contributing to components built with Vue.js
- Improving and redeveloping existing application modules
- Taking increasing ownership of enhancements and development projects
- Balancing planned development work with the needs of live systems
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What we’re looking for
We’re looking for someone with commercial development experience who can get to grips with existing systems, solve problems and contribute ideas rather than simply work through a list of tickets.
You’ll need:
- Commercial experience with PHP, Laravel and MySQL
- Strong backend development skills
- Experience working with live production systems
- Good working knowledge of JavaScript, HTML and CSS
- Experience developing or integrating REST APIs
- Confidence troubleshooting and debugging existing applications
- A practical approach to problem solving
- The ability to manage both reactive issues and planned development work
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Previous experience working with internal systems, CRM, order processing, logistics or other operational platforms would also be useful. Experience with Vue.js is a bonus rather than a requirement.
What you can expect:
You’ll get exposure to different systems and different areas of the business rather than working on one application or project. You’ll have the opportunity to build a strong understanding of how our platforms work, contribute to their ongoing development and gradually take ownership of larger enhancements and redevelopment projects.
