Senior Back-End Developer (PHP/Laravel) AWS – Leeds/Hybrid
I’m supporting a growing tech team who are looking for a Senior Back-End Developer with deep experience in Laravel and strong hands-on exposure to AWS.
This isn’t a generic PHP role, they need someone who is fully embedded in the modern Laravel ecosystem, understands best practices, and has experience delivering enterprise-scale applications in production.
What they’re looking for:
Strong senior-level experience with Laravel (using modern features, tooling and architecture patterns)
Proven track record building and maintaining enterprise Laravel applications
Solid understanding of AWS services (EC2, Lambda, S3, RDS, CloudWatch, etc.) and how to run Laravel at scale in the cloud
Strong API design skills, clean architecture mindset, and a focus on testing and security
Someone who can collaborate closely with product and engineering teams, and contribute to architectural decisions
Tech you’ll be working with:
PHP 8+ / Laravel
AWS
RESTful APIs, queues, caching, CI/CD
React or TypeScript exposure is a bonus
Docker, Terraform or infrastructure-as-code experience helpful
What’s on offer:
Salary Upto £70,000
1-2 days a week in Leeds City Center Office
Chance to shape and scale a modern cloud-first platform
Join a small, advanced engineering team building serious product, not agency sites
If you’re a senior Laravel engineer who’s actively working with modern tooling and comfortable building cloud-hosted systems on AWS, I’d love to speak with you.
