AI Specialist / PHP Developer

**AI\-First Senior PHP Developer** **Avrillo \| Remote (UK\-based)** **The short version** Avrillo is a conveyancing firm that builds its own technology. We don't bolt software onto legal processes, we rebuild how conveyancing works from the ground up, using AI as a core part of how we develop and how our platform operates. We're looking for a **Senior PHP Developer** to join our established development team and help us continue transforming one of the most paper\-heavy, frustrating industries in the UK. You'll work on real systems that are live today, processing documents, verifying identities, integrating with lenders and estate agents, not prototypes or proof\-of\-concepts. Full AI\-assisted development is already how we work. We're looking for someone who operates the same way. **What you'd actually be working on** We're mid\-journey on a significant platform evolution. You'd be joining a team that's actively delivering: * **CRM and case management rebuild** — migrating away from legacy systems to something we own and control * **AML and compliance automation** — source of funds verification, identity checks, fraud detection, integrating with leading providers * **Document intelligence** — processing, extracting, and understanding legal documents at scale * **Third\-party integrations** — estate agent portals, lender APIs, payment systems This isn't theoretical. These systems handle real transactions for real clients, every day. **What "AI\-driven" means here** AI isn't a line item on our roadmap, it's embedded in how we build. We use AI\-assisted development workflows as standard. We integrate LLMs and automation into the platform itself, document processing, decision support, compliance checks. If you're already working this way and have opinions about how to do it well, you'll fit right in. **The team** You'd be joining a small, close development team that owns what it builds. We're not a tech department serving "the business", we're part of the same thing. Developers here have direct input into what we build and why. You'd work alongside teammates covering Laravel, Vue, integrations, and infrastructure. You will report to the Team Lead, who'll be your main point of contact day\-to\-day. **What we're looking for** **Technically:** * Production experience in AI\-assisted development and LLM integration * Strong PHP and Laravel experience (5\+ years) * Comfortable with Vue.js or willing to get there * Strong Architectural skills, planning for the future not just the present * Experience with APIs, integrations, and working with third\-party systems * Familiarity with AWS or similar cloud environments **Mindset:** * You take ownership. When something needs doing, you do it. * You're comfortable with ambiguity. We're building the plane while flying it, you won't always have a spec. * You communicate clearly. We're a remote team, writing well and speaking up matters. * You care about quality but also about shipping. Pragmatism over perfectionism. **What we offer** * Fully remote (UK\-based) * 25 days holiday * Contributory pension * Private healthcare * Death in service insurance * AIG Smart Health app **Who this probably isn't for** If you want a role where requirements are handed to you fully formed, tickets are perfectly groomed, and you can work in isolation, this won't suit you. If you're energised by building something that matters, working closely with a team that gives a damn, and seeing your work go live and make a difference, let's talk. **Apply now** — or reach out if you want to chat first.
