We work across a range of industries - including manufacturing, retail, aerospace, and insurance - to deliver tailored, purpose-built software that truly fits each client’s business.
And right now, it’s an exciting time to join us. We’ve just moved into our brand-new office in Parkstone (between Bournemouth & Poole), marking a big step in our growth. This space is built for collaboration, creativity, and doing our best work. As we settle in, we’re looking for talented people to be part of this next chapter.
People-first approach– We're a down-to-earth team of techies who love what we do. We value input from everyone and encourage team collaboration.
Growing, ambitious company– Our client base is expanding, and with that comes more opportunities to make an impact.

Your Role at Yammayap
As a Senior PHP / Laravel Developer, you’ll play a key role in shaping our bespoke software solutions. Working closely with our Head of Development, you’ll take the lead on projects that typically run for 3-9 months, evolving and growing over time.
You’ll have the chance to:
1. Lead development projects that genuinely make a difference for our clients.
2. Collaborate closely with business leaders to understand their unique challenges and craft effective solutions.

4. Work on meaningful, robust, scalable software that’s built to last.
5. Balance independence with teamwork, making sure projects are delivered on time and to a high standard.
6. Mentor and support other members of the development team.
Being based in our Parkstone office four days a week (Mon-Thu) is key - we value in-person collaboration and believe the best ideas come from working together. Occasionally, you’ll also visit client sites to see your work in action.
