Senior Full Stack Engineer

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Engineer with exceptional Laravel and Livewire experience to join our distributed UK-based team.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can take a brief, rapidly turn it into a proof of concept, and iterate quickly toward a fully featured, production-ready solution. You'll be working on our flagship products - Media Manager and Hermes - helping to shape their technical and functional direction while keeping our systems stable, performant, and evolving.

The right person will enjoy working across disciplines - acting not just as an engineer, but also as a product thinker and occasional product owner, turning high-level ideas into working, tangible results.

What you'll be doing

• Designing and implementing new features within our Laravel-based applications (Media Manager, Hermes, and internal tools).
• Building rich, interactive interfaces using Livewire, Alpine.js, and Tailwind CSS - from detailed Figma designs or from scratch using established component patterns.
• Taking ideas and briefs, developing rapid prototypes, and iterating towards polished, production-ready implementations.
• Developing and consuming secure RESTful APIs and integrating with third-party services.
• Writing clean, testable, and performant code using Laravel, Eloquent, Livewire and FilamentPHP.
• Working with Eloquent and SQL to optimise queries and handle high-volume datasets.
• Collaborating with designers, stakeholders, and other engineers to define and deliver solutions end-to-end.
• Supporting CI/CD pipelines, code reviews, and release management.

Do you have experience in Software deployment?, * Extensive commercial experience with Laravel, building production-grade applications.

• Deep expertise in Livewire - confident building dynamic, interactive UIs without relying on heavy frontend frameworks.
• Strong understanding of Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, and FilamentPHP.
• Proficiency with object-oriented PHP, design patterns, and modern Laravel conventions.
• Ability to own the entire product lifecycle of a feature - from concept to deployment.
• Understanding of high throughput queues, job orchestration, and caching (Redis, SQS, Horizon).
• Experience integrating and maintaining third-party APIs.
• Excellent understanding of PostgreSQL/MySQL and query optimisation.
• Proven ability to take a concept or brief and deliver a working prototype quickly, iterating through feedback to a final product.
• Strong Git workflow familiarity (feature branches, code review, CI).
• Ability to write well-tested, maintainable code using Pest or PHPUnit.
• Excellent communication and self-management in a remote-first environment.

Desirable skills

• Experience with Data Warehouses and/or Data Lakes such as ClickHouse or other OLAP databases.
• Knowledge of FFmpeg, Mux, or video encoding workflows.
• Experience with Docker, CI/CD, and cloud-native architectures (AWS, Upsun, Laravel Cloud).
• Familiarity with FilamentPHP plugin development or advanced Livewire components.
• Interest in UX and product-led development.

• Fully remote role (UK-based) with flexible hours.
• Annual in-person team meetup in London (all expenses paid).
• Market-leading salary with regular reviews.
• 29 days holiday, including your birthday and bank holidays.
• Company pension contribution.
• PerkBox employee rewards.
• Access to further training and professional certification.
