The role

You'll be building AI-powered products that change how organisations manage procurement and document data. This isn't maintenance work or minor iterations — you'll be designing and shipping scalable applications that process complex data at scale, working across PHP, Laravel, React.js (or Laravel Nova) and AWS.

You'll work closely with product, design and data teams, influence technical decisions and help shape engineering best practices across the platform. If you want ownership of real technical challenges rather than just tickets to close, this is the kind of role where that's possible.

What you'll need

To hit the ground running, you'll need:

• Strong commercial experience as a Lead or Senior Full Stack Developer

• Deep expertise in PHP and Laravel

• Front end experience with React.js or Laravel Nova

• Experience designing and building scalable APIs and cloud-native applications

• Strong AWS experience

• Experience integrating LLMs, AI services or orchestration frameworks into production systems

Location

This is a fully flexible role. We ask that candidates are based within 50km of one of our UK offices: Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, or London.
