PHP Laravel Developer - 100% Remote Based

Car & Classic is looking for a Laravel developer - 100% Remote Based to join our growing team, work remotely, and contribute to building a world-class digital marketplace for our customers and help us transform and revolutionise the classic automotive transaction.

About You
Collaborative: you are a real team player who is comfortable with asynchronous communication.

You are a driver, not a passenger: you're curious about how things work and how we can improve, having the confidence to take the initiative.

Forever learning: you should have a relentless focus on improvement and growth - driving our business to new heights every step of the way.

Trusted and reliable: you should be a self-starter able to manage your time and commitments.

About us
Car & Classic is one of the largest automotive marketplaces in the world. We're lucky to have thousands of user generated listings submitted monthly with content gems from James Bond's Aston DB5 to Elvis Presley's Cadillac. The site is old, launched in 2005 but under new, VC-backed ownership since 2018 and on an exciting triple-digit growth journey to bring classic vehicle transactions online.

Our culture is incredibly important to us. We're lucky enough to have built the team from scratch with a focus on enjoying the day-to-day, diversity, inclusion and high performance. Despite being an entirely distributed business we build strong connections as colleagues and have created a fun and high performing culture.

Whilst the company is only 100 people now we expect to double over the next 12-months. We're looking for a Laravel Developer that has strong yet relevant experience and wants to make their mark in a rapid growth business where they can make a real difference, whilst enjoying the environment and culture.

Finally you don't have to love cars to work here (and lots of our team don't) but for those who do this is an incredible opportunity to combine your passion and professional lives - we look forward to hearing from you.

About the role
You'll be working within our software engineering team (20 highly skilled Laravel engineers) that are as a collective always looking to improve themselves, our platform and portfolio of products and services.

As a Laravel Developer at Car & Classic you will get to work on important features and services within our platform and be given the autonomy needed to excel within your role, being part of a small team, your impact is integral to our continued success.

You'll focus on ensuring Car & Classic runs smoothly for all of its users. You will help design & deliver features for our customers predominantly within our Laravel codebase & occasionally in our legacy home-grown PHP codebase which we're migrating to Laravel.
