PHP Developer (R&D Team) – Doncaster (Hybrid Remote) - £45k

PHP/Laravel & Python/AI | Innovations Team | On-site Gym | Bonus Scheme

Ada Meher are currently working with a Digital-First Insurance business as they recruit an PHP Developer to join their R&D Team. This team is responsible for seeking out opportunities across the business to implement new technology to optimise operations and delivery. As such, you’d be joining colleagues from multiple disciplines, such as data analytics & operations, and be responsible for building out POCs and approved project work.

The wider project delivery development teams in the business use a PHP/Laravel/Vue stack and therefore a lot of the build will be focused in this area, and as such the successful applicant will have skills in this area. However, there is also an appetite to look at emerging technologies and AI enablement in this role, so the successful candidate will also have a curiosity and desire to look at technologies outside of this core stack.

Based in Doncaster the company operate a hybrid model, with the development team coming into the office 1-2 days per week, as such candidates should be based within a commutable distance of Doncaster and willing to travel into the office.

To Be Considered:

Previous experience in a Research & Development focused role
Experience with OOP PHP and MVC Frameworks (ideally Laravel)
Experience with Software Optimisations
Any experience with AI/Python would be a benefit 
The company in question is a market leader in the Insurance sector with the technology they work on and the boundaries they try to push. They also aspire to create a relaxed environment where people can work on forward thinking technology solutions.
This PHP Developer (R&D Team) role is attracting a high number of applicants at the moment so be sure to get in contact ASAP or send a CV to (url removed) to avoid missing out

How to Find Hidden Data Science Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like the RSS, BCS & More

The data science job market in the UK is thriving—but also increasingly competitive. As organisations in finance, healthcare, retail, government, and tech accelerate digital transformation, the demand for data talent has soared. Yet many of the best data science jobs are never posted publicly. They’re shared behind closed doors—within professional networks, at invite-only events, or through member-only mailing lists and specialist interest groups. These “hidden” roles are often filled through referrals, collaborations, or direct outreach to trusted experts. In this guide, we’ll show you how to unlock these hidden opportunities by engaging with key UK professional bodies such as the Royal Statistical Society (RSS), BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), and Turing Society, plus communities like PyData and AI UK. You’ll learn how to use directories, CPD events, and networks to move beyond job boards—and into roles where you’re approached, not just applying.
