Senior Software Developer
Laravel / Blade / Bootstrap / jQuery / AWS / Social Media APIs

We are a fast-growing SaaS platform built specifically for estate agents, helping them automate and scale their social media marketing.
We work with over 700 estate agency branches across the UK, enabling them to automatically generate and publish high-quality social media content using their property data, customer reviews, and branded templates. The platform removes the manual effort from social media while maintaining consistency and quality across multiple channels.
Our focus is on building a product that genuinely saves time and drives value for our customers. We are continuing to invest heavily in the platform, with a clear roadmap across automation, AI-driven content, integrations, and performance reporting.
As we scale, we are looking to strengthen our technical capability to increase the pace, quality, and ambition of development. This role is a key part of that journey.

Working Hours & Location
This is a full-time role based on standard UK working hours (9:00am – 5:30pm).
We operate as a fully remote team and are flexible on location. We have team members based in South Africa, and we are comfortable accommodating a 1–2 hour time difference where needed. The expectation is strong overlap with UK working hours to support collaboration, while allowing reasonable flexibility in how the day is structured.

About the Role
We’re looking for a Senior Software Developer to join our team and take a leading role in the development of our SaaS platform. The system is built on Laravel 10, Blade templates, Bootstrap, and jQuery, so strong experience with this stack is essential.
A key part of the role involves working with social media APIs, especially the Facebook/Instagram Graph API, and extending integrations to other platforms such as TikTok, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, and YouTube.
This is a hands‑on senior role with real ownership, autonomy, and the opportunity to shape the platform’s technical direction.

Key Responsibilities
● Develop and maintain features in Laravel 10 using best‑practice architecture.

● Lead integrations with Facebook/Instagram Graph API and other major social media platforms.
● Manage OAuth flows, tokens, permissions, and API reliability.
● Work with Blade, Bootstrap, and jQuery to maintain and enhance the platform’s admin UI.
● Optimise performance and reliability across AWS, particularly Vapor and RDS.
● Collaborate with product and operations teams to deliver clear, well‑structured solutions.

Essential Skills & Experience
● 5+ years professional experience with Laravel (Laravel 10 preferred).
● Strong front‑end experience with Blade, Bootstrap, jQuery, and admin themes.
● Proven experience with Facebook/Instagram Graph API (media, insights, tokens, permissions).
● Experience with other social media APIs (TikTok, LinkedIn, X/Twitter, YouTube).
● Solid understanding of OAuth, rate limits, and API best practices.
● Strong SQL skills and experience with performance optimisation.
● Experience deploying and maintaining applications on AWS, ideally Vapor
