We're working with a fast-growing Insurtech company that’s reshaping the insurance experience through smarter tech and streamlined platforms. With strong backing and a thriving user base, they’re now scaling their engineering team to build out the next generation of their platform.
The Role
We’re on the lookout for a PHP Developer who loves clean, scalable code and wants to focus on true object-oriented PHP, not frameworks. This is a backend-heavy role, ideal for someone who enjoys architecting systems from the ground up and wants a voice in technical decision-making.

- Writing clean, maintainable code with a focus on performance and readability
- Supporting ongoing enhancements and usability improvements
What You’ll Need
- Solid commercial experience with PHP, specifically object-oriented PHP without reliance on frameworks
- Strong understanding of LAMP stack development
- Proficiency in MySQL, RESTful APIs, and vanilla JavaScript
- Appreciation for clean architecture, SOLID principles, and design patterns
- Experience working in a collaborative, agile environment
Nice to Have
- Insurance, Fintech, or other regulated industry experience
- Exposure to containerisation (Docker) or basic DevOps
- Experience working on B2B SaaS platforms
Why Join?
- You’ll be building meaningful products in an industry ripe for disruption
- Be part of a growing, well-funded company with a flat structure and lots of autonomy
- Flexible working (fully remote or hybrid – your choice)
- Generous holiday allowance, L&D budget, and more
