Senior Laravel Developer

At Insuremore , we're looking for an exceptional Senior Laravel Lead Developer to take ownership of our business-critical technology platform. This isn't just another development role. We're looking for someone who wants to become the technical owner of a mature Laravel application, influence technical strategy, and help shape the future of a growing insurance technology business.

About Us

Insuremore is a specialist insurance company operating a portfolio of direct-to-consumer insurance brands. We design, build and manage our own platforms, handling everything from customer journeys and payment processing to policy administration, claims management and third-party integrations. Technology sits at the heart of our business, and we're now investing in strengthening our in-house engineering capability.

The Role

As our Senior Laravel Lead Developer, you'll:

• Take technical ownership of our Laravel platform
• Design and develop new features across customer-facing and internal systems
• Improve performance, scalability and security
• Reduce technical debt and modernise the codebase
• Lead architectural decisions and establish engineering best practices

• Strong knowledge of PHP 8+, MySQL, Redis and REST APIs
• Experience with queues, scheduled jobs and background processing
• Strong Git and GitHub workflow experience

Bonus points for:

• Livewire or Filament
• Tailwind CSS
• AWS or Azure
• Laravel Forge or Envoyer
• Payment gateway integrations such as Stripe and GoCardless

What makes this role different?

• Own the platform
• Influence technical direction
• Help build a high-performing engineering culture
• Work directly with business stakeholders
• Make a genuine impact on a growing company

You'll have the autonomy to make technical decisions, introduce new ideas and play a key role in the next stage of our growth.
