What you will be doing: 

As a Senior PHP Developer, you will be part of an agile Software Development Team and will be responsible for the full lifecycle of an application. You will be working with a team of talented Engineers and entrusted in defining the solution, leading the design, architecture and development of web applications using PHP and related technologies. You will collaborate with the product team and stakeholders to translate product feature requirements into technical specifications, and will identify the best approach for large pieces of work that span multiple components and teams. You will perform code reviews, provide feedback and guidance to your team, and ensure the overall quality and maintainability.

With your large expertise, we know that you'll add a lot of value to the team - be it by suggesting alternative methodologies that may be more efficient, actively improving the tooling to improve use cases, or even designing and developing a technical solution or new processes to create robust, reliable and scalable systems. You can expect to use cutting-edge technologies to deliver amazing value and the best product to our customers while scaling our platform to meet the demands of worldwide markets.
