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!

The Role

• Design, build and maintain backend heavy features across internal systems that support operations, reporting, analytics and the B2B portal
• Work closely with the Head of Development to shape solution design, architecture and technical direction
• Write clean, testable, SOLID compliant PHP using Symfony, with strong unit and functional test coverage as part of everyday development
• Contribute to and improve shared standards, code reviews, CI and deployment practices, including the growing use of AI tools in the workflow
• Work with business users across sales and operations to understand requirements, refine ideas and turn them into pragmatic, maintainable solutions
• Help evolve the platform and infrastructure, using technologies such as PostgreSQL, Clickhouse, Vue.js, AWS and Docker

The Person

• Strong commercial experience with PHP in a modern framework such as Symfony or Laravel in an enterprise or business critical environment
• Solid understanding of object oriented design, SOLID principles and how to structure systems for long term maintainability
• Experience building and testing API driven backend systems, with unit and functional tests as a normal part of your work
• Comfortable working with a modern JavaScript framework such as Vue or React as part of a full stack workflow
• Happy working in a small, collaborative team where you take real ownership, communicate clearly and enjoy being close to the commercial side of the business
• Nice to have experience with PostgreSQL or other relational databases, Dockerised applications, AWS hosted environments and using AI tools to improve productivity or code quality
