The Company
Octopus Legacy is the place to plan for death and find support after loss. When people think about planning for death they think about wills, life insurance and funerals. We take these cold processes and turn them into something more human. Share more than money: leave voice notes, music, recipes. Shape a legacy that connects you while you're here. And after you're gone.
Founded by Sam after his mum died suddenly, we’re a group of people who work in death because we’ve been affected by it. We know the difference a good plan makes, and what it’s like when there isn’t one.
Death can come between us, leaving mess, legal fees, frustration. But it can also make us stronger. We see a world where people talk openly about death, and work out the real meaning of legacy, one that connects to them. We’re here to make that world happen.

The Company
We’re Octopus Legacy: one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the country, and part of the UK’s most exciting and best-trusted group. We have a mission.
We’re on a path to scale - aiming to become a household name while transforming a long-established industry and helping individuals and organisations prepare for, and find support after, death.
But we can’t do it alone. That’s why we’re building a team of self-starters, problem-solvers and people who bring energy to everything they do.
Ready to be part of something big?
The Role
We're looking for a Software Engineer skilled in PHP and familiar with Python, ready to make a real impact. You’ll split your time between maintaining and improving our existing PHP/Laravel codebases - powering products like our website, Life Insurance offering, and internal tools - and contributing to newer Python-based projects as our tech stack evolves.
You’ll code across the full stack, shipping real improvements that users notice, keeping our platforms healthy, secure, and performant. You’ll own the backlog of impactful changes that elevate our products and delight users, while also growing into Python projects and expanding your skillset.
This is a role full of variety and opportunity - every week brings new challenges, and your work will directly impact our customers.
