PHP & JavaScript Software Developer

Join a fast-growing international trading business that partners with global luxury fashion brands, where every feature you ship directly impacts company operations and revenue. This is an opportunity to own business-critical software within a small, profitable B2B company that values in-house development as a strategic function and fosters a low-ego, collaborative environment.

The Role

• Design, build, and maintain backend-heavy features for internal systems supporting operations, reporting, analytics, and a B2B customer portal
• Collaborate closely with the Head of Development on solution design, architecture, and technical direction
• Write clean, testable, SOLID-compliant PHP code using Symfony, with strong unit and functional test coverage
• Contribute to and improve shared standards, code reviews, CI, and deployment practices, including the use of AI tools
• Work with business users to understand requirements, refine ideas, and develop pragmatic, maintainable solutions
• Help evolve the platform and infrastructure using technologies like PostgreSQL, Clickhouse, Vue.js, AWS, and Docker

What You'll Need

• Strong commercial experience with PHP in a modern framework such as Symfony or Laravel in an enterprise or business-critical environment
• Solid understanding of object-oriented design and SOLID principles for long-term system maintainability
• Experience building and testing API-driven backend systems, with unit and functional tests as a standard practice
• Comfort working with a modern JavaScript framework like Vue or React in a full-stack workflow
• Ability to thrive in a small, collaborative team, taking ownership, communicating clearly, and engaging with the commercial aspects of the business
• Experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases, Dockerised applications, AWS hosted environments, and AI tools for productivity is a plus

What's On Offer

• Opportunity to own business-critical software with direct impact on company success
• Work in a small, flexible, and talented team without the politics of a large organisation
• Access to 28 days holiday plus bank holidays, PMI, pension, and social events
• Hybrid work model, typically one day a week in the office in Bristol
