Looking for a PHP role where you'll work on software that genuinely matters?
You'll join a growing technology business that develops software used within the food manufacturing industry. Following a recent acquisition, the business is investing heavily in expanding its engineering capability and modernising an established PHP platform.
You'll work alongside experienced developers on a substantial application, helping deliver new functionality, resolve technical challenges and contribute towards the platform's migration to Laravel.
It's an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys understanding complex systems and wants to grow into a senior engineering role.
Initially you'll focus on delivering enhancements, resolving defects and helping reduce a significant development backlog, while gradually becoming involved in wider modernisation initiatives. You'll also gain exposure to architectural improvements, Laravel development and modern engineering practices as the platform evolves.
