Senior Software Developer (PHP & JavaScript) Bristol, hybrid, typically 1 day a week in the office 50,000 to 60,000 + 28 days holiday + bank holidays, PMI, pension, social events If you like the idea of owning proper, business critical software rather than being one tiny cog in a huge engineering machine, this is one to look at. This role is all about building the internal systems that sit at the heart of a fast moving international trading business, where every feature you ship shows up directly in how the company runs and makes money. You will be joining a small, profitable B2B luxury fashion distribution business that partners with global brands to turn problematic wholesale into a controlled, profitable channel. It is a low ego, close knit team across sales, operations and IT, with in house development treated as a strategic function, not a support service. They care a lot more about team fit, attitude and communication than ticking every single box on a tech checklist. It is a friendly place where everyone gets on, with a grown up, flexible approach to work. The IT team is typically in the Bristol office one day a week, with the rest of the time spent working remotely. The role sits in a small development team working on their own internal platform rather than off the shelf tools. You will spend most of your time on the backend, building and evolving the core systems that power operations, reporting, analytics and their B2B customer portal, while also being comfortable in a modern JavaScript front end. You will work closely with the Head of Development on solution design and architectural decisions, and with end users across the business to make sure what you build actually solves real problems in a pragmatic way. The ideal candidate will be a Full Stack Software Developer with strong PHP (Symfony or Laravel) and JavaScript skills (Vue or React). This is a fantastic opportunity for a Senior Software Developer to join a small, flexible and talented team where your work is central to how the business runs, where you will have proper ownership without the politics of a huge organisation, and be treated well!
