Full Job Description
Senior Laravel Developer - Healthcare Technology

We're partnering with a growing healthcare technology company looking to hire an experienced Senior Laravel Developer to help design, build, and scale applications that directly support healthcare providers and patient outcomes.

This is a hands-on engineering position with the opportunity to work closely with senior leadership and cross-functional teams, taking ownership across architecture, product development, integrations and technical delivery.

The Role

You'll play a key role in developing and improving secure, scalable healthcare applications, with responsibilities including:
  • Design, develop, test and deploy applications using PHP, Laravel, MySQL and JavaScript
  • Build scalable backend services, REST APIs and database architectures
  • Develop responsive and intuitive frontend functionality
  • Own troubleshooting and resolution of complex application issues
  • Improve application performance, reliability and security
  • Build and maintain integrations with third-party systems and external APIs
  • Work closely with product and business stakeholders to turn requirements into technical solutions
  • Contribute to product planning, technical design and release management

Technical Leadership

This is more than a heads-down development position. You'll have the opportunity to influence how the engineering function operates by:
  • Contributing to architectural decisions and coding standards
  • Providing mentorship and technical guidance to junior developers
  • Evaluating new technologies and recommending improvements
  • Participating in Agile development, sprint planning and project estimation
  • Communicating technical concepts effectively across technical and non-technical teams

What We're Looking For
  • 5+ years of professional software development experience
  • 3+ years of hands-on Laravel experience in production
  • Strong proficiency with PHP, Laravel, MySQL, JavaScript, HTML and CSS
  • Strong experience building and integrating RESTful APIs
  • Good understanding of software architecture, OOP and secure development practices
  • Experience with Git and modern software development workflows
  • Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills
  • Comfortable working independently while collaborating across a wider team

Nice to Have

Experience within healthcare isn't essential, but exposure to any of the following would be particularly valuable:
  • Healthcare technology, digital health or clinical software
  • Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM)
  • HIPAA and healthcare data security
  • EHR/EMR integrations
  • Third-party healthcare APIs
  • AWS or Azure
  • Docker and CI/CD pipelines
  • Agile development environments

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to take on a highly influential engineering role where you'll combine hands-on Laravel development with technical ownership and product input.

You'll be building technology with a tangible real-world purpose, helping deliver healthcare solutions that directly impact patient care while working within a collaborative, mission-driven environment.
