Job Description

 

We are currently seeking an experienced Simfony Back End Developer to join our team, who will be responsible for improving, maintaining, and upgrading a system built on Symfony. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in software development, specifically with Symfony, and a deep understanding of improving development workflows, test coverage, and system upgrades.

We strongly believe in standing on the shoulders of giants, and the role of frameworks and third party solutions, in supporting rapid development and avoiding re-inventing the wheel.

 

Responsibilities

 

  • Analyze, maintain, and improve the existing Symfony based web application.
  • Develop and maintain comprehensive test coverage for the system to ensure the stability and reliability of the application.
  • Plan and execute the migration of the system to newer versions of Symfony while maintaining compatibility with existing features and integrations.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to gather requirements and provide technical guidance during the upgrade process.
  • Identify and resolve performance bottlenecks and optimize system performance.
  • Document processes, procedures, and technical specifications for the system and its components.
  • Provide mentorship and guidance to junior team members and contribute to their professional growth.
  • Stay up-to-date with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies to ensure the continuous improvement of our software development processes.

 

Requirements

 

  • Bachelor’s degree in computer programming, computer science, or a related field (or just be awesome in coding, that also works).
  • 5+ years of professional experience in software development, with a focus on Symfony-based applications.
  • Understanding of clean architecture principles and design patterns.
  • Strong experience in developing and implementing development workflows, testing strategies, and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipelines.
  • Ability to design technical architecture, create technical documentation and navigate legacy codebases.
  • Strong understanding of the web development cycle and programming techniques and tools.
  • Focus on efficiency, user experience, and process improvement.
  • Excellent project and time management skills.
  • Strong problem-solving skills.
  • Verbal and written communication skills, fluent in English.
  • Ability to work independently or with a group.
  • Experience in affiliate marketing, ecommerce or fintech is an enormous pro (but not a necessity).

 

Nice-to-have:

 

  • Experience with migrating legacy systems to newer frameworks or technologies.
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies, such as Scrum or Kanban.
  • Experience with Domain-Driven Design (DDD): Involvement in designing and implementing system architecture based on DDD principles. Understanding and ability to apply concepts such as entities, aggregates, domain events, repositories, bounded contexts, and more.

 

Our new environment:

 

  • Monolith with decoupled services architecture
  • PHP 7/8
  • Symfony 4/7
  • Laravel 9+
  • MySQL
  • REST API
  • AWS, ECS
