Location: Southend on Sea
Job Description:

About the Company

Insuremore is a specialist insurance company operating a portfolio of direct-to-consumer insurance brands. We design, build and manage our own platforms, handling everything from customer journeys and payment processing to policy administration, claims management and third-party integrations.

Technology sits at the heart of our business, and we’re now investing in strengthening our in-house engineering capability.

The Role

As our Senior Laravel Lead Developer, you’ll:

  • Take technical ownership of our Laravel platform
  • Design and develop new features across customer-facing and internal systems
  • Improve performance, scalability and security
  • Reduce technical debt and modernise the codebase
  • Lead architectural decisions and establish engineering best practices
  • Work closely with our CEO, Head of UI/UX and external development partners
  • Help shape the long-term technology roadmap

We’re looking for someone with

  • 8+ years of commercial PHP development
  • 5+ years of Laravel experience
  • Strong knowledge of PHP 8+, MySQL, Redis and REST APIs
  • Experience with queues, scheduled jobs and background processing
  • Strong Git and GitHub workflow experience
  • Experience with automated testing (PHPUnit or Pest)
  • Familiarity with Docker, CI/CD and Linux environments
  • A passion for writing clean, maintainable and scalable code
  • Livewire or Filament
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Laravel Forge or Envoyer
  • Payment gateway integrations such as Stripe and GoCardless
  • SaaS, fintech or insurance platform experience

What makes this role different?

We’re not looking for someone to simply work through a backlog.

We’re looking for someone who wants to:

  • Own the platform
  • Influence technical direction
  • Help build a high-performing engineering culture
  • Work directly with business stakeholders
  • Make a genuine impact on a growing company

You’ll have the autonomy to make technical decisions, introduce new ideas and play a key role in the next stage of our growth.
