Senior PHP Developer

You'd spend your time developing and improving existing projects, for example: 

• Building new websites and pages based on provided technical and functional specifications
• Implementing different strategies for existing products and tools based on  requirements 

We'd also do a ton of work together like: 

• Architecting and developing new features
• Prototyping and evaluating potential implementations 

You would spend a lot of time programming, brainstorming on hard 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. 

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:

• Managing Git VCS issues and fixing bugs
• Writing and improving the documentation for the products and tools we make
• Helping customer support answer customer questions
• Troubleshooting problems during live communication with other teams

If you've ever maintained a large project, working with us carries a lot of the same  responsibilities. 

Here are a few recent projects you might have worked on if you were already part of  the team: 

• Building next version of our products from scratch with latest technologies
• Building a performance testing architecture and laying the groundwork that will  be used company‐ wide
• Refactoring the actual production application to simplify and speed up performance without any down‐ time 

Here are some of the technologies we work with day‐ to‐ day right now: 

• Our main product itself is written in legacy PHP (Drupal7), and it is tested  manually but we are working hard on changing that.
• We have our brand new version that is built with NodeJS and ExpressJS.
• We use many different databases, but if you know MySQL you shouldn't have  any problems.
• Redis is powering our cache, but it is also used as a "database" for some  projects.

List of key skills we'd think you'd need

• English communication skills
• Git
• Linux terminal
• MySQL
• PHP

List of optional skills we'd love you to have

• Ability to write and interpret technical documentation
• Agile/Scrum
• Drupal 7 and higher
• REST/JSON/SOAP
• RabbitMQ
• Redis
