Senior Backend Engineer (PHP)

This is a remote position.

Our partner is a company in the Online Media industry. They are looking to expand their team with a Senior Backend Engineer Engineer from Europe. 

As a Senior Backend Engineer you will discuss and implement code patterns, system design decisions and best practices in software engineering with our System Architect and CTO, as well as work closely with the rest of the tech teams to coordinate on API structure and request/response flows. The system consists of 12 microservices, majority in Laravel using Lucid architecture and a few written in Go.

Skills

• Understand, discuss and implement technical specifications in the form of written text and visual diagrams
  
• Write and maintain efficient, reusable, tested, clean code.

• Think ahead and communicate design decisions prior to implementation.
  
• Provide task estimations with eagerness to deliver on time at a very low risk for delays
  
• Eagerness to learn new programming languages and tools.
  

Requirements:

• 6+ years building production-grade PHP applications
  
• 4+ years working with Laravel & PostgreSQL (or MySQL)
  
• Written tests in PHPUnit with moderate code coverage (pragmatically speaking, ~70% is good enough)
  
• Integrated with social media APIs such as Facebook, Instagram, YouTube (or other third-party API integrations)
  
• Collaborated with a team on the same codebase using Git
  
• Worked in a multi-tenant environment that involved several codebases (e.g. microservices or similar multi-tenant examples where you juggle more than one codebase)
  
• Used Docker for development
  
• Worked in an agile environment
  

Nice to have:

• R
  
• Go
  
• Redis
  
• Neo4j
