Job Description

We are hiring for the position of Senior/Mid PHP Developer. You would spend a lot of time programming, brainstorming on challenging problems and prototyping different ideas. You wouldn't be just churning through tickets in the backlog — you'd be helping to design entirely new products, figuring out what exactly we're even building and why.

What you'll be getting up to:
  • Building front-facing websites and pages based on provided technical and functional specifications.
  • Implementing different strategies for existing products and tools based on requirements.
  • Architecture and developing new features
  • Prototyping and evaluating potential implementations
  • Meeting business stakeholders to understand the problems they wish to address

While being a somewhat big company, we're split into small teams which means that even though we each have our areas of expertise, we all wear many hats. We're looking for a programmer, but you'd also help out with things like:

  • Writing and improving the documentation for the products and tools we make
  • Helping customer support to answer customer questions
  • Maintaining the ownership of our product, and assisting in troubleshooting production incidents.
  • Take part in OOH on-call application support rota
Requirements:

The Senior/Mid PHP Developer role has the following requirements:

  • To be considered for the role of a mid-level developer in web application development using PHP, it is generally expected that you have a minimum of 3 years of professional experience. However, for the position of a senior developer, it is preferable to have 5 years or more.
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or any related technical field.
  • Great English skills verbal & written
  • Team spirit & team player
  • Problem-solving attitude
  • Excellent troubleshooting skills
  • Advanced PHP
  • Git knowledge
  • Bash and Linux in general, SSH
  • Docker
  • Redis
  • HTTP and REST
  • MySQL
  • Knowledge of asynchronous data fetching mechanisms
  • Experience with Kibana and Grafana
  • Gitlab (or another) CI/CD tool
  • We warmly invite applications in English.
