PHP Backend Engineer

Technologies we use

About the project

Your responsibilities

• You will be a part of the product team working in an agile approach to delivering value to our customers (so no complaining about the "product people,” we’re a team :)
• Your focus will be backend development (you will have the opportunity to work with others on topics in your area of interest)
• We expect you to bring in some innovative ideas to the team — you will not always be told what to do next.

Our requirements

• You have a solid understanding of Object Oriented Programming principles and good knowledge of PHP (or are willing to learn).
• You know how to test your code.
• You’re familiar with Domain Driven Design.
• You worked in a small team before, having ownership over processes: taking the initiative, making decisions, and implementing them. You won’t be just a „small cog in a large machinery.”
• You have experience with distributed architecture, elasticsearch and database optimizations.

This is how we organize our work

Our tech stack and technical challenges

• We're working with Symfony 2.8 / 4.4 PHP 7.4.
• We use some of the following services and more: MariaDB, PostgreSQL, Algolia, ElasticSearch/OpenSearch, RabbitMQ, Redis, Varnish (cache), GitHub & GH Actions and NewRelic as an observability tool.
• The backend is mostly monolithic system above 1M LOC but we deliver all new features within dedicated / isolated modules.
• We're following DDD principles, but we're not fanatical about it.
• We benefit from continuous delivery — we deploy as soon as the code review is complete, and it's all automated.
• We're splitting up our monolithic codebase into distributed architecture. It is an ongoing process, but there's much to be done.
• Tables, indexes and query optimizations, pre-calculating data, you name it - the traffic increases, so we're starting to face non-trivial performance issues.

• We could tell you about us, but we will let our reviews on Glassdoor speak for themselves.
