Are you a backend developer who's just as comfortable in a Kubernetes cluster as you are in a PHP codebase, and fancies Friday afternoons off? We're looking for a Senior Backend Developer to join our growing digital team, taking on real ownership of our backend systems and the infrastructure they run on. This is a role for someone who wants genuine autonomy over how systems are built, deployed and kept running, working alongside a small, collaborative team rather than reporting up through layers of process. You'll report to our Head of Delivery and work closely with the rest of the backend team, but this is an individual contributor role with no direct reports. If you're comfortable in modern PHP, properly comfortable in AWS and Kubernetes, and like the idea of owning infrastructure decisions rather than waiting for someone else to make them, you'll feel at home here. What you'll be doing You'll be working closely with a tight-knit dev team to build and support digital products for a range of interesting customers, while owning the infrastructure underneath them. Day to day, that includes: Developing new features and products using modern PHP and MVC frameworks Building bespoke web APIs to be consumed by frontend applications Mentoring other members of the dev team, sharing infrastructure and security knowledge as well as PHP practice Working on greenfield builds as well as supporting and improving existing client projects Owning and evolving our AWS infrastructure: deployment, scaling, configuration and cost Managing our Kubernetes environment and Docker based deployment pipelines Building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines Taking the lead on infrastructure security: patching, vulnerability management, access control, backups and disaster recovery Being the point of escalation when something breaks (informal on call, no formal rota, but you're the person we call) Triaging helpdesk tickets and supporting clients with issues or requests for work Getting involved in in house hack projects that help shape the future direction of the business Working with delivery managers to scope and estimate new projects Collaborating with designers, developers and stakeholders to deliver clean, scalable solutions What's in it for you We're a small team that does big work. Our culture is built on support, open conversations, and not taking ourselves too seriously. Team days and our 4.5 day working week aren't just perks, they're how we make sure our team stays energized and inspired.

City + Capital are currently representing an established and fast-growing UK business that is looking to appoint a Software Developer to its in-house technology team. This is an excellent opportunity for an ambitious developer to join a business that places significant importance on technology and continued digital development. The successful candidate will work across live internal and customer-facing systems, gaining broad exposure to both back-end and front-end development. The Company Our client is an established and growing UK business operating in the financial services sector. The firm has achieved significant growth in recent years, backed by strong investment, and driven by the ongoing development & success of their tech stack. Technology plays an important role for our client in many aspects. Internally, it drives the day-to-day operation, allowing different teams to be as efficient and effective as possible in their work. Externally their tech drives client activity and outcomes, using portals and other tools. Continued investment into its technology capability has created an opportunity for an additional developer to join the business. You will become part of a industry respected and collaborative in-house team responsible for maintaining and improving established systems alongside delivering new functionality. The size and structure of the team means developers gain genuine exposure to the wider business and can see the practical impact of the technology they build. Importantly, there is also scope for future progression in this role too. Role Overview As Software Developer you will help design, build, maintain and improve a range of business-critical applications and systems. Working across a PHP/Laravel back end and Vue front end, you will contribute towards new functionality, internal tools, customer-facing applications, reporting capabilities, automation and third-party integrations. Rather than focusing exclusively on either front-end or back-end development, you will have the opportunity to build broader full-stack experience and contribute across different stages of the development lifecycle. You will work alongside experienced technology professionals and communicate directly with colleagues across the business to understand requirements and develop practical technical solutions. Responsibilities • Build and improve features across established applications and systems • Support development across both front-end and back-end environments • Develop dashboards, reporting tools, charts and tables • Support document generation and automated processes • Work with third-party REST APIs and webhooks • Assist with the development and maintenance of external integrations • Test changes carefully and contribute towards improving automated testing • Work with internal stakeholders to understand requirements and solve problems • Help maintain and progressively improve an established codebase • Support the ongoing development and reliability of live systems Candidate Requirements The ideal individual will be technically capable, inquisitive and keen to continue developing within a collaborative in-house environment. You should enjoy solving problems, taking ownership of your work and communicating with both technical and non-technical colleagues. The ideal candidate is likely to be experienced in: • Commercial experience using PHP and Laravel desired • Practical experience with Vue, ideally Vue 3 desired • Working knowledge of MySQL and database queries desired • Experience consuming or integrating REST APIs and webhooks desired • Familiarity with Git and collaborative development practices desired • An understanding of both front-end and back-end development desired • A careful approach when working with live and sensitive data • Strong communication and problem-solving skills • Comfortable working within a small technology team Experience with technologies such as AWS, Redis, Tailwind CSS, Vite, automated testing or data visualisation tools would be advantageous but is not essential. On Offer Our client is ideally looking to pay up to £40k as a basic salary, though higher offers could be considered based on experience & technical capability. Upon joining you will also take part in our client's favourable bonus scheme too, which can significantly enhance annual take home. Most notably, this is an opportunity to join a respected and established on an exciting tech and growth journey. They prefer to operate a strong promote from within policy, meaning opportunities to progress in to more senior tech positions may be available, once excellent performance is delivered, and as the business continues to scale. Please note this is an office-based role, 5 days per week in Hertfordshire. This is critical for team collaboration and development plans. Next Steps Our client is very keen to fill this role quickly in line with objectives. Due to the nature of the long-term opportunity here, it will not be on the market for long! If this role does sound like one that you are both qualified for and interested in, then we look forward to your application as soon as possible.
