We’re looking for a mid-level PHP Developer to join a delivery-focused team building and evolving a suite of platforms used by global brands.
This role would suit someone who enjoys working close to the fundamentals – building, improving and maintaining applications in a custom-built environment, rather than relying on off-the-shelf frameworks.
The role
You’ll be working across a range of internal and client-facing platforms, contributing to the development and improvement of web-based platforms and applications that support complex content and data workflows.
Day to day, that looks like:
- Developing and maintaining backend services and applications using PHP
- Taking ownership of features and tasks from development through to completion
- Writing clean, efficient and maintainable code aligned to agreed standards
- Working with databases, including writing and optimising SQL queries
- Collaborating with Product Owners, QA and other developers to ensure solutions are clear, tested and aligned to requirements
- Identifying and resolving defects, performance issues and edge cases
- Contributing to improving existing systems and reducing technical debt
You’ll be part of a team that values delivery, quality and continuous improvement, not just getting something live.
The platforms are built using an in-house, custom framework. There isn’t reliance on frameworks like Laravel or Symfony, so this role suits someone who:
- is comfortable working outside of standard frameworks
- enjoys understanding how systems work and improving them over time
Your experience
- Experience building web applications using PHP
- Comfortable working on backend or full-stack systems
- Experience working with databases and writing SQL queries
- Experience working in a team environment (Agile or similar)
- Ability to take ownership of tasks and see them through
- You’re adaptable in how you approach problems
- You’re open to learning and working in different ways
- You focus on building things well, not just quickly
Why this role?
- Opportunity to work on platforms that are genuinely different from standard web builds
- A team that values clarity, collaboration and continuous improvement
- Real ownership and the chance to make a tangible impact
- Scope to grow, whether you’re building on early experience or bringing something more established
This is a hybrid position (3 days a week onsite in Central Leeds – 5 mins from the train station).
