Sign up with Clera and we'll reach out the moment a role actually fits you — no more spraying applications into the void.
Develop, enhance, and maintain Laravel applications across various customer environments and internal platforms. Design and build scalable ERP and CRM solutions while contributing to architecture, engineering standards, and CI/CD practices.
Requires extensive commercial experience with PHP and Laravel, including strong proficiency in Laravel Filament and database management. Candidates should possess solid skills in software architecture, cloud platforms, and modern development workflows like Git and Docker.
Some developers enjoy spending years working on the same application.
Learning every corner of the codebase. Fixing the same bugs. Sitting in the same sprint planning meeting wondering if this could have been an email.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.
This just isn't one of those jobs.
At First Focus, you'll work across a constantly evolving portfolio of customer solutions, business applications and internal platforms. One week you could be building new ERP functionality. The next, integrating a CRM, designing APIs, modernising legacy applications, introducing AI-assisted features or helping another developer solve a problem that's refused to cooperate since the All Blacks last lost the Bledisloe.
Every project is different. Every customer has different challenges. Every week you'll learn something new.
Who is First Focus?We're one of Australasia's leading managed service providers, trusted by more than 1,000 organisations to keep their businesses secure, productive and growing.
Technology is what we do, but relationships are what we're known for.
While many people know us for managed IT services, we've also built a talented software engineering team that designs, develops and supports custom applications, integrations and business systems for organisations across a wide range of industries.
Our developers aren't hidden away maintaining a single internal product.
They're solving real business problems, working directly with consultants and customers, influencing technical decisions and building software that genuinely makes someone's working day easier.
If that sounds more interesting than spending another year adding fields to the same form in the same application, keep reading.
About the roleWe're looking for an experienced great Laravel / PHP Developer to join our Technology team on a 12 month fixed term contract.
You'll contribute across multiple customer engagements and internal initiatives, working with modern PHP, Laravel and Laravel Filament to deliver robust, scalable business applications.
You'll have the opportunity to influence architecture, mentor other developers and help shape technical direction while remaining hands-on with development.
No two weeks look exactly the same, and that's exactly how we like it.
What you'll be doingYou'll probably have most of the following:
Experience with ERP, CRM or financial systems will be highly regarded.
Why you'll enjoy working hereAt First Focus, one of our core values is Wow the Customer.
For us, that isn't about flashy presentations or over-promising what technology can do.
It's about building software that solves real problems, communicating honestly, delivering quality work and leaving customers thinking, "That was easier than I expected."
It's one of the reasons our customers stay with us for the long term, and why our engineers get trusted with interesting work.
You can learn more about our values on the About Us page of our website at firstfocus dot co dot nz.
What you'll getSo...if you've made it all the way to the bottom without thinking, "That sounds exhausting," we're off to a pretty good start.
If you're excited by variety, enjoy working with genuinely good people and like building software that customers actually appreciate, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply today. We'd love to show you why so many of our people end up staying far longer than they originally planned.
