About the role

You're a strong PHP/Laravel engineer who uses agentic tooling seriously in your day to day work. Not as a shortcut, but as a way to move faster and deliver better. You don't need someone to define every problem for you, but you're not looking to own the roadmap either. You want to do great engineering work on something that matters. If that's you, keep reading.

You'll be embedded into the product team of one of the UK's leading procurement platforms as your first project here. The platform connects organisations managing construction projects with the suppliers who deliver them. It's high-traffic and there's serious engineering work to be done at every layer of the stack.

The platform runs on PHP/Laravel and that's where you'll live. This isn't maintenance work. There's real feature delivery, real scale, and active engineering on a system thousands of people rely on.

To do this well, you'll need to be someone who:

Has strong experience at Senior Full Stack level in commercial, production PHP/Laravel environments

Has used agentic engineering tools to ship real features into production systems, not just personal projects

Knows AWS and has built scalable, cloud-native APIs before

Has enough front end range to work with React.js or Laravel Nova when needed

Here's what you get in return.

You'll be working on a real platform with real scale, alongside engineers who take the craft seriously. The work is varied and you'll have the seniority to contribute to how things are done, not just what gets shipped.

Agentic engineering is genuinely central to how this project works, not a buzzword on a job advert. You'll be using these tools in production every day, which means the experience you build here is current, practical and transferable.

Working here means exposure to multiple clients and contexts over time. If you want to keep growing as an engineer rather than going deep on one product forever, that variety matters.

Beyond the work itself, here's what benefits come with the role.

28 days annual leave plus bank holidays

5 Impact Days for learning, innovation or volunteering

Flexible working environment

Enhanced parental leave

Annual wellbeing budget plus 2 wellbeing days

Mental health support

Company Mac
