PHP Backend Engineer (Data Systems)

The role

We’re looking for a bright and enthusiastic PHP developer to join our Platform team, with a specific focus on managing and evolving our data collection pipeline.

This is not your average PHP project. Our pipeline processes millions of search results and other data points every day, integrating with multiple third-party services, optimising complex workflows, and managing failure scenarios. You’ll work on systems that are mature, reliable, and built to scale, solving meaningful technical problems that make a difference to our customers.

The responsibilities of the team have recently expanded and with AI search and ever more data sources we need to grow the team. While the system is well-architected and robust, we need to spread the knowledge further and are constantly looking for ways to improve reliability, resilience and cost effectiveness using automation, modern tooling, and AI-assisted approaches.

You’ll work alongside experienced engine...
