About Us
Mettle

is a fast-moving web development company working on a range of exciting projects. Alongside four of our own SaaS products, we also provide Laravel consulting services to a number of long-term clients.

We’ve been a leading part of the Laravel community in the UK since it began. In addition to running Laravel Live

(the official UK Laravel conference), we also host the Laravel London Meetup.

Role Description
We’re looking for a mid-level Laravel engineer to help build and maintain a variety of web applications. Working within our Engineering team, you’ll collaborate closely with other engineers and clients. The ideal candidate will have at least three years of experience with Laravel and genuinely enjoys exploring and improving technology. You’ll be responsible for developing features in PHP, creating high-quality pull requests, and helping the team follow strong industry best practices.

Our workplace is relaxed, with flexible working hours and a welcoming, friendly team. You’ll learn a lot and gain exposure to many new technologies. While Laravel is central to this role, we also work with a broad range of tools, including databases, external services, APIs, and more.

We’re seeking people who are curious about the possibilities of technology, eager to learn, and both diligent and kind. Our teams work well because we give them the trust to succeed. We value healthy debate and believe great ideas can come from anyone.

Location
The company has always operated as a fully remote team. You should therefore be comfortable working remotely, able to manage your own time, and have excellent communication skills—including using video calls and communicating frequently in writing. We’d prefer candidates who are within three hours of GMT.

A great candidate will have:

• At least three years of experience with Laravel
• Strong understanding of relational databases (MySQL / Postgres)
• Experience with API-driven development
• Ability to write tests
• Experience with Git and GitHub

Experience with the following would be a bonus:

• Some JavaScript experience (Vue / React / Livewire)
• Server administration experience (Ubuntu, nginx, Forge, Envoyer, Docker)
• AWS, Google Cloud, or Digital Ocean
• Elasticsearch, Redis, Memcache
• Unit / integration / acceptance testing

Salary and benefits
Compensation depends on your experience, skills, and impact. For full-time employees, we provide equipment of your choice, matched company pension contributions, an annual training budget, regular learning days, the freedom to work from wherever you want, and much more.

We encourage applicants from diverse backgrounds.
