Ready to build beautiful, high-impact products that help couples plan one of the biggest days of their lives?

I’m partnering with a market-leading UK wedding venues group to find a Senior PHP React Developer to join their growing in-house engineering team. They specialise in restoring stunning barns and walled gardens into premium wedding venues across the UK and are investing heavily in their digital platforms to match the quality of their venues.

You’ll work closely with product, design and the rest of engineering to ship features that genuinely move the needle for couples and venue teams. There is also real scope to explore AI-powered features – for example smarter search, recommendations or assistant-style tools for couples – so if you’re already playing with AI/ML or keen to develop in this space, they’re very open to your ideas.
