Imagine stepping into a role where your morning begins with a hot cup of coffee and a team huddle that’s buzzing with new ideas and collaborative energy. It’s Monday, and like every Monday, you’re in our office — the creative heart of our operations. As a pivotal member of our back-end team, you’re not just coding; you’re architecting the digital experiences that will captivate and engage users across the UK.

You’ve been looking for a position where your technical skills can truly shine and where your contributions are immediately visible and valued. In this role, you’ll dive deep into our core systems, working on optimizing database queries that make our platform as sleek and fast as the luxury prizes it subtly offers. You’ll collaborate with front-end teams to weave together powerful, seamless experiences that look as good as they perform.
Key Responsibilities:
* Develop and optimize robust, high-quality back-end code and database solutions.
* Work in a modular and agile way, enhancing our system architecture to support a growing user base.
* Collaborate with a diverse team to integrate cutting-edge functionalities that keep us at the forefront of the industry.
* Take pride in rigorous testing and iteration to ensure that our systems are not only functional but flawless.
What We’re Looking For:
* A problem solver who’s skilled in PHP, Laravel, and the LAMP stack, with a knack for JavaScript, JQuery, and front-end dynamics.
* Someone with a solid grasp of HTML/CSS, who can talk tech with ease and clarity, even when the clock’s ticking.
* At least 5 years of hands-on experience in a dynamic development environment, with a portfolio that showcases your finesse and attention to detail.
* A communicator who thrives in teamwork and is motivated by a challenge.
Additional Perks:
* Hybrid working model with a requirement to be onsite only on Mondays — perfect for those who value flexibility but still enjoy periodic in-person collaboration.
* 22 days of holiday plus bank holidays, alongside a suite of benefits including performance bonuses, share options, and a companywide performance rewards scheme.
