Senior Software Engineer (PHP / Laravel) 50-60,000 Lincoln (office based 5 days per week) Full Time Permanent There's something quite rewarding about working on a platform that sits right at the centre of how an organisation operates. This is one of those environments where the technology really matters. It supports day-to-day activity, connects multiple organisations through a shared system, and continues to evolve as demand grows. We're working exclusively with a Lincoln-based organisation that has developed a well-established, multi-tenant SaaS platform used across a national customer base. It's a product people rely on, not something sitting on the sidelines, and they're now looking to strengthen their engineering team with the addition of a Senior Software Engineer. You'll be joining a small, experienced team of three senior engineers who take genuine ownership of the platform. It's a collaborative setup where ideas are shared, standards matter, and people are trusted to get on with their work. Your focus will be on developing and improving backend services in Laravel, building out API's, and ensuring the platform remains stable, secure and scalable as it continues to grow. A key part of the role is understanding how the system performs in the real world. When issues arise, whether that's performance, data integrity or unexpected behaviour, you'll be one of the people who takes responsibility for getting to the root of the problem and fixing it properly. This will suit someone who enjoys working through complex challenges and seeing things through to a long-term solution. There's also a clear opportunity to shape how the platform evolves technically. That includes improving CI/CD pipelines, refining deployment processes, and contributing to decisions around cloud infrastructure and architecture. If you want a role where you can influence how things are done, not just deliver against what already exists, this offers that scope. They're looking for someone with a strong background in PHP and Laravel, combined with a broader engineering mindset. You'll be comfortable working across application and infrastructure layers, and you'll take pride in producing high-quality, well-structured work. Just as important is your approach. Someone who thinks carefully, communicates clearly, and is comfortable taking ownership when it counts. The role is office based in Lincoln 5 days per week. We're keen to speak with candidates who live within a sensible commuting distance and can be part of a team that still values time together.
