You’re part of a company leading the digital entertainment evolution. Here, your work has real impact. Every line of code you commit helps shape a platform that brings daily engagement, thrill, and value to thousands.

You’ve been searching for a role where you can fully own your craft. Here, you’ll work across the entire tech stack, from sleek front-end components to powerful back-end systems. You’ll collaborate closely with designers, product leads, and other engineers to build features that don’t just function – they impress.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop, maintain, and optimise scalable, high-performance web applications using Laravel and the wider PHP/LAMP stack.

  • Implement intuitive, responsive front-end interfaces using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript frameworks.

  • Architect and integrate APIs and services that power dynamic, data-driven features.

  • Write clean, testable code and contribute to continuous deployment and CI/CD workflows.

  • Work closely with cross-functional teams to understand user needs and turn them into elegant technical solutions.

  • Participate in regular code reviews, stand-ups, and collaborative planning sessions to keep the team aligned and moving fast.

    What We’re Looking For:

  • A seasoned Full Stack Developer with solid commercial experience across both front-end and back-end disciplines.

  • Proven expertise in Laravel and modern PHP development, with strong understanding of MVC architecture and RESTful APIs.

  • Competent with front-end tech such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript (and ideally frameworks like Vue.js or React).

  • Familiarity with MySQL, version control (Git), and cloud platforms or deployment pipelines.

  • A natural collaborator who enjoys problem-solving, learning new tools, and contributing to a supportive team environment.

    Additional Perks:

  • Hybrid working – in the office every Monday plus two other days of your choice, giving you the right balance of focus and collaboration.

  • 22 days holiday + bank holidays, with a generous benefits package that includes performance bonuses, share options, and access to our company-wide rewards scheme.

    Join Us:

Cloud computing has become the cornerstone of modern business operations.
