Senior PHP Developer
Job Description
We’re looking for truly exceptional PHP engineers who are ready to tackle a permanent project on an international scale. We’ll be competing against an Amazon subsidiary which will derive practically all of its income from overseas. The way we will succeed against the world’s largest digital company is by being better than them and having a perfect product, which means you must be exceptional. What you build truly matters.
You should be able to operate with minimal direction, but be excited to work closely with a team. We want developers who are opinionated about smart ways to build, yet humble enough to listen and take input well. You should want to take ownership of the features you build…you’re shipping to customers, not just completing story points. We’re looking for developers who care deeply about the quality of their code…it impacts your fellow devs, your company, and your customers. QA can and will help, but ultimately, you embrace the fact that the quality of what you ship is your responsibility.
For this particular vacancy, we need someone who will take on a leadership position—mentoring the team and taking responsibility for pushing forward. We need all that cool stuff above—plus your ability to motivate and hold accountable a talented team.
We already have an incredible team of designers, with a unique work culture.
Your friends will be jealous when you tell them about your day at work.
