À propos
Can you write decent PHP code that you’re proud to explain - not just _what_ it does, but _why_ you did it that way? (We’ll forgive that one legendary function that you once wrote at 2am that no one, including you, fully understands, but it _just works perfectly_).
Can the majority of your code be merged without causing the other members of your team to require anger management classes/blood pressure medication?
Can you defend the quality of your code with regard to security, efficiency, and maintainability - without the use of tears and/or excessive violence?
Can you confidently read, understand, and constructively critique other people’s code - even that one developer who writes everything like they’re constantly practising for the International Obfuscated C Contest?
And if you ever use an AI-assisted tool, do you treat the output as though it was written by a hyper-caffeinated junior dev with questionable loyalties - and make it _actually safe_ for production?
If, and only if, you’ve answered YES to all of the above - here’s the rest:
*What You’ll Be Doing:*
* Developing internal tools and customer-facing systems, writing clean, maintainable PHP code to build and improve back-end services and APIs that power our web applications and internal systems.
* Collaborating with front-end and full-stack developers to deliver features that are secure, efficient, and great to use.
* Contributing to the design and architecture of new features and systems.
* Taking ownership of your work, and pride in what you do - from scoping and estimating to development, testing, and deployment.
* Troubleshooting, debugging and fixing real-world problems (not just adding “try/catch” and hoping for the best). Digging into bug reports, logs, and manually testing to figure out _what actually happened_ - and helping make sure it won’t happen again.
* Reviewing and critiquing pull requests to provide positive feedback to both improve the code and help level up the team’s skills.
* Shipping robust, high quality code quickly, without cutting corners.
* Working on both legacy systems and green field projects - helping shape the architecture of new systems and yes, occasionally yelling “Why?!” at legacy code, then taking a breath, grabbing a coffee and refactoring it cleanly.
*What We’re Looking For:*
* 3+ years of experience writing and maintaining PHP code.
* Strong understanding of OOP, SOLID principles, and clean, maintainable architecture.
* Experience building and maintaining RESTful APIs and back-end services for web applications.
* Solid grasp of secure coding practices, performance tuning, and efficient database interaction (e.g. MySQL/PostgreSQL).
* Ability to collaborate well within a growing development team, reviewing and giving constructive feedback on pull requests.
* Good problem solving and software design skills.
* Familiarity with version control (Git), automated testing, and CI/CD pipelines.
* Comfortable working in a hybrid or remote team, managing your own time and communicating clearly.
*Nice to have:*
* Experience working with Docker, cloud platforms (AWS), or containerized dev environments.
* Familiarity with headless CMS platforms or content APIs.
* Some front-end skills or awareness (even if it’s just enough to appreciate your teammates' pain getting that last div to align properly on mobile).
*Why Join Us?*
* You’ll be a key voice in shaping how we build, test, and ship software.
* Work on a mix of internal tools and public-facing apps, where your work has a direct tangible impact.
* Collaborate with a thoughtful, experienced team who care about shipping good code without the crunch.
* You’ll have space to work independently, and suggest better ways of doing things.
* Flexible working, a relaxed but focused culture, and support for your professional development.
