Senior PHP/Laravel Developer with Infrastructure & DevOps Experience

This position is listed on behalf of a partner company, which manages all applications and next steps. Our partner is looking for a Senior PHP/Laravel Developer with Infrastructure & DevOps Experience based in United Kingdom.

We are seeking an experienced technical professional who combines strong software engineering expertise with hands-on infrastructure and DevOps capabilities. In this role, you will build, maintain, and modernize business-critical, data-driven applications while ensuring the reliability of the systems that support them. You will spend approximately 70% of your time on software development and application support, with the remaining 30% dedicated to infrastructure administration and DevOps. You will work across the full application lifecycle, from architecture and development to deployment, monitoring, and incident resolution. Your contributions will help improve system performance, security, maintainability, and operational resilience. This opportunity is ideal for a senior developer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, taking ownership of production systems, and continuously improving both applications and infrastructure in a remote working environment.

Accountabilities

  • Application Development and Maintenance: Design, develop, test, deploy, and maintain business-critical applications using PHP, Laravel, Filament, and PostgreSQL. Modernize legacy systems, reduce technical debt, and improve application performance, reliability, and maintainability.
  • Architecture and Integrations: Design and maintain application architecture, APIs, integrations, and data exchanges with internal systems, ensuring secure, reliable, and efficient data flows.
  • Code Quality and Testing: Maintain automated testing, static analysis, code-quality checks, and code-review practices. Use tools such as Pest, PHPStan, Laravel Pint, and related technologies to uphold high engineering standards.
  • CI/CD and Deployment Automation: Support and improve continuous integration and delivery pipelines using Jenkins, Git, and Gitea, streamlining releases and reducing manual operational effort.
  • Technical Leadership: Conduct code reviews, provide technical guidance, share knowledge, and support other developers in solving complex engineering challenges.
  • Application Incident Management: Lead application-level incident response, troubleshoot production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective and preventive measures.
  • Infrastructure and Systems Administration: Administer a high-availability Proxmox cluster and manage related technologies, including Ceph/CephFS, ZFS, Linux systems, and containerized services.
  • Platform Operations: Maintain and support essential services, including PostgreSQL, Jenkins, Gitea, web servers, Icinga, Grafana, and Loki, ensuring availability and operational stability.
  • Security, Backup, and Recovery: Support access management, system patching, security controls, backup processes, recovery procedures, and capacity planning to protect infrastructure and business continuity.
  • Monitoring and Continuous Improvement: Respond to infrastructure incidents, improve monitoring and logging, automate repetitive tasks, optimize deployment processes, and contribute to service restoration and root-cause investigations.
  • Documentation and Knowledge Sharing: Maintain clear technical documentation covering system architecture, configurations, operational procedures, recovery plans, and runbooks.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
