As a Senior PHP Engineer, you’ll bring deep backend expertise to drive the design, development, and maintenance of mission-critical applications.

  • Design, build, and maintain robust backend applications and APIs primarily using PHP. 
  • Lead efforts to refactor legacy code and strategically introduce modern tooling as we evolve our technology stack. 
  • Enable teams to deliver high-quality, maintainable software through test-driven development (TDD) and rigorous code reviews. 
  • Contribute to system-wide architectural planning, API strategy, and database design. 
  • Ensure seamless interoperability between legacy backend services, enterprise databases, and modern client applications. 
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define, develop, and deliver features across frontend and server-side components. 
  • Apply software development patterns to create secure, efficient, and highly observable backend solutions. 
  • Stay current on backend trends, modernization strategies, and broader technologies to inform product innovation and stack migration. 
Minimum Education
  • Bachelor's degree from an accredited institution or equivalent industry experience
Minimum Experience
  • 5+ years of experience in any software development role
  • Solid experience in .NET platform and MVC
  • Solid experience in Java/J2EE preferred
Knowledge, Skills, Abilities

  • Experience planning and executing the migration or modernization of legacy PHP applications to newer architectures. 

  • Experience with automated testing frameworks. 

  • Experience with containerization (Docker) and cloud platform deployments. 

  • Familiarity with domain-driven design, event sourcing, and service-oriented architecture. 

  • Comfortable working across cross-functional teams and actively mentoring mid-level and junior developers.
