Mid-Weight PHP Developer

About the company

We are Adapt. We are enabling businesses and their people to confidently embrace the future of work. We do this by creating clearer processes, aligning people around those ways of working and creating bespoke software (leveraging smart automation & AI) to maximise productivity. No two projects or clients are the same, and we don?t intend for that to change any time soon. If you love the ever-changing landscape of technology and the agency world as much as we do, then come join the team, so that we can adapt together.

About the role

Following recent new business wins with both new & existing client relationships, we?re looking for a PHP-focused Mid-Weight Developer to join us. Your time will primarily be spent supporting efforts with another developer across various PHP-related projects (including Laravel and raw custom PHP). There will also be 3rd Party API integrations you?ll be working with. If you like the thrill & variety of juggling multiple projects and priorities, this is the role for you!

It would be nice to:

Have experience writing DRY, well-structured, clean & elegant code

Working with a modern tech stack
An openness towards how & when you do your work
Support & an active interest in helping you to up-skill and grow ?on the job?
Opportunity to progress into a management/leadership role
Budget available for investing in a local co-working space, if working specifically from home isn?t your thing, but commuting to an office isn?t either!

Flexibility with working hours
20 days paid holiday in addition to bank holidays
