Scottish SaaS Tech start-up based out of Edinburgh are looking for an experienced PHP Developer (Laravel) to join their growing development function. Great opportunity to really make your mark on a growingly popular and new product.

They've been running for a couple of years now and have had a lot of interest in their product, with a steady pipeline of sales and investment. They've recently brought their product in house, as it was previously maintained by a third party - and they've got really ambitious plans for the organisation, product and team over the next few years.

You'd be working alongside four other Developers, and this another new position to the business - as they're really looking to grow their Edinburgh-based Development function. Their product is a business to consumer platform and used to streamline the sales process for a better customer experience.

Their product is written in modern PHP with Laravel, so they're ideally looking for someone with good commercial experience with this framework. Their front-end is written in VueJS and although experience with this would be handy it's definitely not needed. There is still a lot of work to be done on the product, as they're looking to make the move to AWS and have a bunch of new features to add - so there will be plenty of work to keep you busy.

You'll ideally have experience with the following;

** PHP (ideally PHP8)

** Laravel

** MySQL

** HTML, CSS and JavaScript

Experience with the following is highly desirable;

** VueJS

** AWS

** Working in a product environment

** Working in a tech start-up environment

Their offices are based in Edinburgh city centre, just walking distance from Waverly station. You'll ideally be expected onsite about three times a week for project planning however they do have some flex on this.

In return they're able to offer a salary from £30k to £50k depending on experience + benefits. In addition, there is plenty of scope for career progression and leadership opportunities within the team, given their growth plans for the next few years.

Our clients

Candidates

She even was able to help get a firmer offer as I was offered two roles on the same day. I felt she went over and above to get the best offer she could for me without selling myself short.

QA Engineer – Glasgow

A friend looking after me, that’s how I felt. His friendly character made the whole process way easier and enjoyable, he also managed to get me one of the most interesting work opportunities. I’m really glad our paths have crossed.

Software Engineer - Edinburgh

He is the most honest, thorough and experienced recruitment consultant I have ever dealt with. If he can’t help you, he’ll tell you rather than spinning a yarn and putting you forward for jobs that aren’t suitable.

Technical Author – Edinburgh

Absolutely fantastic throughout my interview process, and I cannot recommend him highly enough! First of all, he is an absolutely brilliant communicator and extremely reliable. On top of all of his brilliant recruitment skills, it was amazing to see how genuinely excited he was for me when I received my offer. This truly conveyed to me how much he cares about his clients.

Software Engineer – Edinburgh

It was a breath of fresh air – She is professional and approachable and will be there to help you every step of the way. Other recruiters give you the hard sell and the ‘best friend routine’ to get you on board and then just leave you guessing, but not here… She’s the real deal

Solutions Architect – Glasgow

She was friendly, communicative and informative, talked me through the process and gave me good advice at every stage.

Software Engineer – Manchester

I can say with total sincerity I’ve never dealt with a more professional, knowledgeable and personable recruitment firm in fifteen years of contracting. They helped my wife and I relocate to Edinburgh with our five month old son and it’s in no small part to their tips and recommendations that we’ve settled in so quickly.

Transformation Consultant – Leeds

He stood out in a world of poorly informed, unreliable and frankly annoying recruiters as a breath of fresh air.

Data Scientist – Manchester

THE BEST test recruiter I’ve had the pleasure of working with, from start to finish. She provided me with training resources and is an organiser and participant in testing events. She really has taken the time to fully understand the testing principles.

Test Analyst – Aberdeen

I’ve never written a recommendation for a recruiter before, so it must show how impressed I am!

Software Developer – Northampton

He goes out of his way to ensure you are prepared for your interview and I particularly appreciated his professional no nonsense approach to working with me to find a new position.

Infrastructure Architect – Glasgow

I have had dealings with the majority of recruitment agencies in this country and beyond. He really stands out from the crowd and the IT industry would benefit from more people like him.

Software Developer – Glasgow

Equal parts friendly and professional, never once coming across as simply going through the motions and made the whole thing as painless as possible for all parties

Software Developer – Glasgow

Compared to other recruiters I have worked with she seemed genuinely interested in helping me with my job search rather than just fulfilling quotas.

Software Developer – Lincoln

Never have a I met a recruiter like him, who embeds himself in the community so thoroughly in a way that could only be genuine. From our conversations, he has shown an understanding of the industry I would expect from a local CTO.

MI Analyst – Bolton
