Snr PHP Developer - Contract

Senior PHP / Laravel Developer - Contract

£350-£375/day | Outside IR35 | 3 Months | Immediate Start

Northampton - 1 day per week onsite | UK-based contractors only

PHP | Laravel | Vue.js | TypeScript | MySQL | REST APIs | AWS

We’re looking for an experienced Senior PHP / Laravel Developer to join an established engineering team working on a successful global SaaS platform.

This is an initial 3-month contract and a genuinely hands-on development role. PHP and Laravel are at the heart of the requirement, so we need someone with strong commercial Laravel experience who can get into an established codebase and start contributing quickly.

What you’ll be working on

• Hands-on PHP / Laravel development
• Building and integrating REST APIs
• Working with MySQL and relational databases
• Performance, scalability and application improvements
• Automated testing with PHPUnit
• Contributing across Vue.js / TypeScript where required
• Working within an AWS, Docker, Git/GitHub and CI/CD environment

What we’re looking for

Strong commercial experience with:

• PHP
• Laravel
• MySQL
• REST APIs
• PHPUnit
• Git/GitHub

You’ll ideally also have experience with some of:

• Vue.js
• TypeScript
• JavaScript
• AWS
• Docker
• CI/CD
• SaaS

You don’t need to be a frontend specialist - the priority is someone who is strong hands-on with PHP and Laravel and comfortable contributing across the wider application when needed.
