Mid-Level PHP Developer (Symfony / Laravel) – Leeds (Hybrid)

£40,000 – £55,000 + strong long-term opportunity

Leeds (2 days onsite, central location)

The Role

You’ll be joining a small but highly capable engineering team, working on backend systems and APIs that are used at scale. There’s a strong focus on clean code, good engineering practices, and collaboration - this isn’t a “ticket factory” environment.

Tech Stack

• PHP (8+)
• Symfony (or strong Laravel experience)
• REST APIs
• MySQL / relational databases
• AWS (nice to have, not essential)
• Docker / serverless (bonus)

What They’re Looking For

• Solid PHP experience in a commercial environment
• Experience with Symfony or Laravel (open on framework)
• Strong understanding of APIs and backend architecture
• Someone who can communicate well and work collaboratively
• Comfortable working in a hybrid team (Leeds-based)

What You’ll Get

• Salary up to ~£55k (flexible for the right person)
• Hybrid working (2 days onsite, very central office)
• Supportive, down-to-earth team
• Real opportunity to influence projects and grow

Please note: This role requires candidates to already have the right to work in the UK (no sponsorship available).
