Senior Product Engineer – PHP / AI
Up to £80,000 | Remote | Permanent
I'm looking for a Senior Product Engineer to join a growing product-led engineering team, working across the modernisation of existing applications before moving onto an exciting greenfield AI product.
You'll initially work within a small, autonomous engineering team, modernising internal products, developing new functionality and improving integrations across a wider product ecosystem.
Longer term, you'll have the opportunity to work on a greenfield AI-powered platform, designed to automate traditionally manual services and provide intelligent, real-time support to users.
What we're looking for:
- Strong commercial PHP experience.
- Experience working within a product/SaaS environment.
- Strong OOP, SOLID and clean coding principles.
- Experience developing applications at scale, including high traffic/API/data volumes.
- SQL/MySQL experience.
- Experience building cloud-based applications.
- Strong examples of mentoring and coaching other engineers.
- Comfortable working closely with Product Managers and taking ownership of solutions.
- Genuine curiosity around AI and AI-assisted development.
Nice to have:
Symfony, Laravel or CodeIgniter experience, API development, GCP/AWS/Azure, microservices, Terraform and observability tooling.
Why consider it?
You'll get a strong mix of hands-on engineering, product ownership and technical autonomy, with the opportunity to move into a genuinely greenfield AI project.
The business is actively embracing tools such as Claude and Cursor, so it's a great environment for an engineer interested in how AI is changing both software development and the products being built.
If you're a Senior PHP Engineer who enjoys owning products, solving problems at scale and wants genuine exposure to AI-driven development, I'd be keen to chat.
