Senior Software Developer

SENIOR SOFTWARE DEVELOPER

BARNSLEY

UP TO £50,000 + GREAT CULTURE + BENEFITS

The Opportunity:

You'll be joining as an experienced developer, working on live systems, handling sensitive data, maintaining reliable workflows, and making sure the software does what users need it to do without getting in the way. This isn't a role where you just pick up tickets and move on. You'll be expected to think about how the system hangs together, improve existing code, and help keep things stable as changes are made.

What We're Looking For

• Solid experience working with PHP at a mid or senior level
• Strong JavaScript skills, including working with APIs
• Good knowledge of MariaDB/MySQL, including database structure and performance
• Experience with AWS (e.g. hosting, deployments, or working with cloud-based services)
• Experience working on live systems, especially where data sensitivity matters
• Understanding of secure coding and data protection
• Able to work independently and make sensible technical decisions
• Experience dealing with older or existing codebases

What You'll Be Doing

• Building and maintaining applications using PHP
• Developing front-end features with JavaScript to keep workflows simple and intuitive
• Managing and improving databases (MariaDB/MySQL), making sure data is accurate and performs well
• Keeping systems secure, stable, and easy to audit
• Investigating and fixing issues in live environments without causing disruption
• Writing clean, readable code that others can easily work with
• Getting involved in code reviews and general improvements
• Supporting less experienced developers when needed
