Full Stack Developer (PHP/Typescript/React)

Job Description
At Deskpro, we make helpdesk software and we have customers of all shapes and sizes from across the globe, including Vodafone, Microsoft, NHS, and Panasonic. Deskpro is a large product with a large variety of features and modules, from email, chat, and voice, to blog posts, knowledgebase, and guides, and everything in between. There's always something new to build.
We have a Wimbledon office but remote opportunities are available for UK-based candidates who can't commute in.
What you will do as a fullstack engineer
As a fullstack engineer, you will help build new features and modules, you'll be involved in shaping our underlying product frameworks and our internal processes like code reviews and deployment, and you'll get to participate in feature planning and have real input on the direction we take the product and the company as a whole.
You'll be joining a small team where your specific experience will have great impact. You will have a lot of autonomy over your own projects and you will get to use your expertise to lead by example.
Deskpro is a small company, and that means you will sometimes be expected to dip in and out of various roles as needs arise. You will learn a lot through the varied work, and you will get satisfaction in shipping software that gets used by thousands.
Technology we use and where we're going
Most of the Deskpro product backend is written in PHP (Symfony, Laravel) with the primary data store being MySQL. The frontend is Typescript/React (with our own component library) and our primary APIs are GraphQL.
Most of our cloud services we run, such as internal services and our telephony product, are written in Typescript/Node and run on AWS either serverless or dockerized. But we use lots of other technologies like Elastic, Redis, and services offered by AWS like DynamoDB . We even have tools and services written in Kotlin and Go. We're big fans of using the right tool for the job!
Why should you be interested?
- You'll get to use and learn about many different products, APIs and technologies. Deskpro is the central hub for a lot of companies, and we're always adding new features and modules and integrations.
- You'll get to work with real customers and get a peek into how other businesses operate.
- You'll get to learn about scaling software as well as scaling the SaaS platform as a whole.
- You'll get to try out new technology. We are constantly updating our stack and are always on the lookout for tools that will help us be more productive.
You are a good fit for the role if.
- You have an earnest interest in developing software with a desire to learn more about the craft.
- You have a lot of experience with PHP (with Symfony or Laravel), but you are not married to PHP. You will be expected to pick up new technology and stacks where necessary. The best tool for the job is not always PHP.
- You've got experience on the frontend with ReactJS (ideally Typescript too) and want to do more.
- You have excellent written and verbal communication skills. We are big believers in "writing stuff up", everything from spec's to dev docs to RFC's. You need to be able to know your audience and communicate clearly.
- You enjoy solving problems yourself and like working in a "get stuff done" environment. We're a small team and we all generally just get on with things in a fairly autonomous manner. You won't be micro-managed.
Examples of projects we've been working on lately
- Voice -- Incoming and outgoing calling from the browser, including features likes automated call routing and simple IVRs.
- AWS -- Moving all our infrastructure to AWS. This has included some ambitious projects like re-writing the email parser to make it more efficient.
- Reports -- New reporting system with dashboards, scheduled reports, and sharing.
- Apps platform -- A platform that allows third-parties to create "apps" that run within Deskpro.
- Filtering and search -- New filtering and search system to improve efficiency, accuracy, and UX.
- Social / Multi-channel messaging -- we are building out generic data structures with flexible ingress APIs to allow connecting Deskpro to any messaging channel including social sites like Twitter and Facebook, but we also envision integrations with systems like eBay messages or Apple/Google app stores. We'll be able to process any kind of communication.
- New GraphQL API backends.
And we have a lot more projects coming up including social integrations (Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp, etc), asset tracking, approvals, and so much more.
Requirements
- Strong experience building web apps with PHP and Symfony and/or Laravel. Our main product is written in PHP.
- Experience building SPA's with React. Typescript is a bonus.
- Experience with server-side Javascript/NodeJS is a bonus so you could jump right into other areas of the business such as our cloud platform.
- Strong experience with MySQL.
- Experience with AWS is a bonus.
- You should be a fast learner. We often venture into unknown territory so you should be a Google-fu master and have experience-driven intuition.
- You should be excited to dive deep into new technology and new programming languages. We're always happy to try new things if it'll help us ship better software.
- You should have a strong understanding of software architecture with opinions on "the right way" to do things.
- You should be a "do-er". You will have a lot of autonomy over your own work, and you will be expected to work with the team to make sure your projects get shipped.
- You work well with others and enjoy sharing your knowledge and leading by example.
- You should love the colour green. We're putting a big focus on delivering well-tested and super solid software!
Benefits
- Competitive Salary
- Varied work. Both in terms of what product features you will be working on, but you'll also have the opportunity to immerse yourself in other aspects of the company such as product planning, customer support, etc.
- A mixture of autonomy over your own work and real responsibilities to the team and business.
- Your choice of equipment (most of our devs like Macbook's with two 4k monitors).
- We encourage self-improvement: Company-sponsored server/hosting for your side projects; books; conferences; courses. Just ask!
- A chance to be truly invested in your work and the company.
- 2 minute walk from shops, restaurants, pubs and gyms.
- Lovely new offices, BBQs in the summer, Monday team breakfasts and Friday lunches. Unlimited coffee, tea, soft drinks and snacks with beers for Friday afternoon.
- BUPA Private Healthcare & Cash Scheme, Pension Scheme, Bike Storage, Season ticket loans, Reduced gym membership.

Senior Full Stack Product Developer (PHP/React)

Job Description
At Deskpro, we build helpdesk software that helps businesses provide better support to their customers worldwide. We’re looking for a Senior Full Stack Product Developer to join our friendly engineering team. In this role, you’ll help build new features and modules for our platform and improve our underlying product frameworks. You’ll also participate in planning sessions and contribute to decisions that shape our product and the company’s direction.
You’ll be joining a small, collaborative team where your experience will have a meaningful impact. We have an office in Wimbledon, London, but this position can be remote within the UK . We value flexibility and trust our developers with a high degree of autonomy – you won’t be micro-managed. At the same time, we foster a supportive environment where you can always ask for help when needed.
What You’ll Do- Create & Develop: Build and deploy new features and modules for the Deskpro platform, continually expanding its features and capabilities.
- Improve & Innovate: Help shape our core product architecture and refine internal processes (e.g. improving code review and deployment workflows).
- Plan & Influence: Participate in feature planning and strategy, contributing ideas to the direction of our product and company.
- Collaborate: Work collaboratively in a small agile team, taking ownership of projects and leading by example to deliver high-quality results.
We work with a broad range of technologies and believe in using the best tool for each job. Our backend is primarily built in PHP (Laravel and some Symfony), and we’re increasingly using Node.js/TypeScript and Golang. On the front end, we build rich single-page applications in TypeScript and React that communicate with our GraphQL API. We frequently experiment with new tools and standards to keep up with the ever changing landscape.
We leverage AWS for our SaaS platform (using services like DynamoDB and serverless functions) alongside other technologies such as Elastic and Redis to ensure our platform is fast and scalable. Looking forward, Node.js will play an even bigger role as we develop new features like real-time chat bots and AI-powered capabilities.
AI at DeskproAI is everywhere these days so we wanted to make special note of how AI is impacting us here at Deskpro.
- For our engineers: we’re experimenting with ways AI can support—not replace—our team. That includes process improvements (like automated meeting notes or drafting PRDs) as well as developer tooling such as coding assistants (Co-pilot, Claude, and others). We’re in the early stages, testing different approaches to see what genuinely makes us more effective.
- For our product: We have a lot of work in the pipeline that has nothing to do with AI, but it's fair to say that AI is a big part of our short-term roadmap. Deskpro is a natural fit for AI-driven features—there are countless ways we can help our customers solve problems or automate workflows more intelligently. As an engineer here, you’ll play a key role in figuring out how to apply AI and ML in practical, impactful ways. Our focus isn’t on inventing new AI technology (i.e. most of us don't have a background in ML). Instead, we focus on leveraging the best tools and APIs available to build features that deliver real value to our customers.
Requirements
- Experience with PHP and relational databases (we use MySQL).
- Experience building single-page applications with React and TypeScript.
- Experience with Node.js and TypeScript development (for both server-side and client-side applications).
- Exposure to AWS or other cloud services (nice to have).
- Exposure or experience with AI is a nice to have.
- A passion for continuous learning and improving your software craftsmanship.
- Curiosity and adaptability in the face of new challenges – you’re quick to research and dive into new technologies to find solutions.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, especially for writing clear technical docs and specs.
- A collaborative mindset – you enjoy sharing knowledge, supporting teammates, and learning from others.
- A sense of ownership and the motivation to see projects through from idea to delivery.
- Commitment to quality – you write reliable, well-tested code and appreciate seeing tests pass (we love seeing all tests green!).
Polyglot developers with recent experience with modern PHP and React will thrive here. But if you’re excited about this role but don’t meet every single qualification, please apply anyway!
We are committed to finding the right person, and we welcome diverse skills and experiences – you might be the perfect fit even if you don’t match the job description 100%. We find that attitude matters most and if you're willing to learn and are passionate about building great products, then we can run with that.
Benefits
- Competitive Salary + Share Options
- Flexible Work Culture: Remote-friendly setup and flexible hours to help you maintain a healthy work-life balance.
- Inclusive Team Environment: Join a supportive, collaborative team that values your ideas and encourages knowledge-sharing.
- Impact & Growth: The opportunity to work on varied projects that have real impact in a growing product, at a company where your contributions truly shape the future.
- Top-notch Equipment: Your choice of high-quality hardware (MBP's, monitors, etc.) so you can work comfortably.
- Continuous Learning: Company-sponsored resources for your professional development – whether it’s attending a conference, taking a course, getting new books, or even hosting your own side project on our servers.
- Comprehensive Benefits: Private health insurance (BUPA), a company pension plan, gym membership discounts, bike-to-work scheme, season ticket loans, and other perks to take care of you .
