About Nteractive

At Nteractive, we create and deliver world-class experiences for global brands through events, creative production, and digital innovation. Technology sits at the core of how we operate, and our internal platforms play a critical role in keeping our business connected, efficient, and scalable.

We’re now looking for a Lead Web Developer to take ownership of Hive, our in-house operations platform, and shape its next stage of growth.

About Hive

Hive is a Laravel + Livewire platform that powers our day-to-day operations, connecting resourcing, finance, HR, time tracking, identity, and increasingly AI-driven workflows. Built in-house, it’s already business-critical — and now needs dedicated ownership to evolve it further.

This is not a maintenance role. It’s a build, scale, and improve opportunity. You’ll take full ownership of the platform, drive its technical direction, and help shape how it grows across the business.

What you'll be doing

Ownership & Development

Take full ownership of the development, maintenance, and roadmap of Hive
Build and ship new features in response to evolving business needs
Design and maintain database architecture and backend logic
Develop and maintain Livewire and Bootstrap-based front end
Own integrations with key systems and APIs across the business
Manage deployments, environments, and release processes (staging + production)

Engineering & Architecture

Monitor platform performance, stability, and security
Introduce and maintain automated testing across critical paths
Improve scalability, structure, and long-term maintainability of the system
Set coding standards and technical best practices
Document architecture, systems, and processes to reduce single-point dependency

Collaboration & Growth

Translate business needs into practical, well-engineered solutions
Work closely with stakeholders across the business to understand requirements
Support future expansion of the development capability as the team grows
Mentor or guide other developers over time as the function scales

What you will bring

Strong experience with Laravel (v12 preferred) and Livewire
Excellent PHP development skills and strong backend engineering capability
Solid understanding of MySQL and relational database design
Experience with queues, jobs, and scheduled/background processing
Front-end experience with Bootstrap 5
Proven experience owning and running a production application end-to-end
Experience with API integrations across SaaS platforms and internal systems
Familiarity with deployment workflows (e.g. Laravel Forge, DigitalOcean, staging/production environments)
Experience operating as a senior or lead developer, setting technical direction
Bonus: exposure to LLM/AI features (e.g. Anthropic API or similar)

Why you'll love working here

You’ll take true ownership of a core internal platform used across the entire business
You’ll have the freedom to shape architecture, tooling, and technical direction
You’ll work directly with stakeholders across operations, finance, HR and delivery teams
You’ll see the real-world impact of your work immediately across live business processes
You’ll join a fast-growing, global creative and events agency where tech is becoming increasingly central
You’ll be supported to grow into a wider leadership role as the development function expands

Benefits:

33 days annual leave (including bank holidays)
Hybrid working with flexibility
Pension scheme (5% employee / 3% employer)
Private Medical Insurance & Cash Plan
Life Insurance
Enhanced maternity pay
Wellbeing & Inclusion initiatives (including EAP access)
Birthday day off
Summer hours
Volunteering day
Rewards & recognition incentives
Generous employee referral scheme

Other requirements

Quiet home working environment
Ability to attend the office occasionally for collaboration and key meetings
Minimum 25MB download / 2MB upload broadband
Willingness to travel internationally when required

If you’re looking for a role where you can truly own a platform, shape its future, and build something that sits at the heart of a growing global events business, we’d love to hear from you.
