We are seeking a skilled and experienced Senior PHP Developer to join our team. In this role, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality web applications and backend systems. You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams, ensure code quality, and implement best practices for scalability and performance.

Work Description

Mostly we will be working on replacing our legacy codebase, with new functions, but sometimes we still need to maintain older functionality before we can replace it, so you should have at least some experience with bare-bones PHP.
Most of the functions work as microservices, so it is not especially hard, it is just time consuming. We will be starting on smaller projects and then move to more complex ones when you are more familiar with the project and more in line with our workflow.
Other than task specific microservices (data imports, exports, etc) we have two monoliths - an e-ecommerce site where customers are selecting tyres and making orders, and backed where we are processing those orders. Both of those are getting replaced, we will have new skeletons for admin and frontend, where we will gradually move all functionality.
Thanks to our architecture we can do so gradually starting with small modules, moving to more complex ones.

Tech Stack

Raw PHP, we have some code base that is 5.6, most is 7+, it is important if you have experience with legacy code base (or at least an older version of Wordpress)
GitLab and Docker for development
MySQL database
LARAVEL and TALL stack is where we are heading for new projects
Basic JavaScript and CSS - we have dedicated frontend developers, but it is beneficial if you are able to solve basic issues
Some experience with Vue.js would be welcome for further projects, but it is not mandatory

Requirements

Excellent English communication skills
Good communication skills - you will be in contact with other developers mostly, but we are trying to provide more insight so that you understand business logic behind the task at hand. It is important to ask questions when you are not sure if you understand the intended outcome so we can optimize the code better
Writing quality code that’s easy to maintain and evolve
Ability to refactor the code
