Job description

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
  • Paid volunteer time to support causes you care about
  • Gym membership to support your health and wellbeing
  • Paid parking for stress-free office days
  • Company-provided meals - great food, less hassle
  • Regular team events and social activities
  • A collaborative, supportive culture where your voice genuinely matters

Ready to Take the Next Step?

If you’re a Senior Software Engineer looking for a role where your experience is valued, your ideas are heard, and your work-life balance is respected, this is an opportunity worth exploring.
