## Backend PHP Developer (Remote, Philippines)
## About the Opportunity
Expansion International is partnering with a growing UK-based software development company to recruit an experienced Backend PHP Developer.
Our client delivers bespoke web applications and digital solutions across multiple industries, with projects ranging from modernising established platforms to designing and building new products from the ground up.
As their project pipeline continues to grow, they're looking for an experienced Backend PHP Developer to join their engineering team. You'll work on a combination of established production systems and exciting greenfield projects, collaborating closely with experienced technical leaders while taking ownership of your own work.

## The Role

- Develop, maintain, and enhance PHP-based backend applications.
- Build new functionality for both existing platforms and greenfield projects.
- Work across proprietary frameworks as well as modern PHP applications.
- Modernise and refactor legacy cod...
