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.
What You’ll Be Doing
- 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
- Contributing to architectural decisions and influencing technical direction
- Staying ahead of emerging technologies to keep the tech stack modern and efficient
- Playing an active role in project planning, estimation, and delivery
Requirements
- 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
Benefits & conditions
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
