Intermediate Software Engineer (PHP)

Please note before applying: this is an Intermediate II level role within our team, and so we are really keen to see Product Engineers with solid commercial experience working with PHP and Symfony or Laravel. If this is you then we would love to hear from you!

Location: Sheffield city centre (Fargate)

Hybrid working as standard: 2 days a week in the office, the other 3 days remote (or office if you prefer)

Our mission:

• Two in five people in the UK rent their homes. Goodlord's mission? To provide them with the best renting experience in the world
• We started Goodlord because we wanted to make renting simple and transparent for everyone involved: the agent, the landlord, and the tenant. We knew Generation Rent would lead to more tenants, with higher digital expectations and we were confident we could provide a solution
• Like all scale-ups it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster journey, but we’re now stronger than ever, with around 3,000 letting agents using the platform, exciting and varied products and 350+ Goodlordians across the group supporting the mission!

The Opportunity:

• Work with Product Managers, business stakeholders and other Engineers to understand end user problems and implement appropriate solutions
• Continuously improve the code base to make it easier to understand and more fun to work with
• Review the code of your colleagues
• Offer mentoring to less experienced developers
• Continuously develop your skillset via tailored professional development objectives and budget

What we need from you:

• Commercial experience in building complex web applications using Symfony or Laravel
• Ability to write good, clean and well-tested code
• Strong communication skills and can adapt to the technical level of your audience
• Experience working in an agile team with a delivery focus

What's in it for you:

• Grow with Goodlord: your development is important to us, that’s why we are Great Place to Work - certified. Have a goal in mind? Share it with us and you can use your £1000 annual development fund to support it. We guarantee you’ll learn loads and develop both personally and professionally at Goodlord too!
• Your well-being matters: bi-weekly coaching with Sanctus to provide Goodlordians with a safe place to talk and support your mental health
• 25 days holiday (plus UK Bank holidays) plus 1 day per full holiday year up to 32 days: We believe regular breaks are essential for well-being and we encourage (some may say expect!) all Goodlordians to take full advantage of their annual leave entitlement.
• Supporting your family: we offer Goodlordians of all genders a generous 3 months of fully-paid time off to look after their new arrivals

What’s next?
