  • Full Time, Permanent
  • £30,000 - £60,000 per annum
Job Description:
Company
I’m working with a fast-growing technology business based just outside Newcastle city centre, well-known for developing advanced ecommerce and product-optimisation platforms. Their tools help online retailers manage, enhance and scale large volumes of product data, and they’ve built an excellent reputation for innovation, speed of delivery and technical depth.
The company operates a fully office-based model, valuing close collaboration, quick decision-making and a genuinely team-centred engineering culture.

Role
They are now looking to appoint a PHP/Laravel Developer who can play a hands-on role in the continued evolution of their core platform. This is an opportunity to join a product-driven engineering team where your work directly shapes tools used by retailers across the UK and internationally.
Key responsibilities include:
*Developing new backend features and enhancing existing functionality within a Laravel-centric environment.
*Improving platform performance, stability and maintainability as the product scales.
*Working with queues, background jobs, and third-party API integrations.
*Contributing to frontend elements where relevant (TALL-style or similar approaches).
*Collaborating closely with colleagues across engineering, QA, product and design.

This is a full-time, in-office role.
Salary is dependent on experience, with the strongest candidates being considered up to £60,000.
Person
As this hire is central to the engineering team, we are specifically looking for developers with proven, hands-on Laravel experience. The business relies heavily on Laravel and modern PHP practices, so strong capability with the framework is essential.
Ideal experience and qualities include:
*Solid commercial background with Laravel, PHP, and MySQL.
*Confidence working in a modern Laravel ecosystem (e.g., TALL stack or comparable tooling).
*A commitment to clean, maintainable code and long-term quality.
*A proactive mindset with the ability to take ownership and contribute ideas.
*Strong communication skills and a positive, collaborative approach.

This role suits someone who enjoys building robust systems, solving technical challenges and being part of an ambitious, highly engaged team.
