What you will do as a backend engineer
As a backend engineer, you will help build new features and modules, shape our underlying product frameworks and internal processes like code reviews and deployment, participate in feature planning, and have real input on the direction we take the product and the company as a whole. You'll be joining a small team where your specific experience will have a great impact.
You will have much autonomy over your projects, and you will get to use your expertise to lead by example. You will sometimes be expected to dip in and out of various roles as needs arise. You will learn a lot through the varied work, and you will get satisfaction in shipping software that gets used by thousands.
Requirements
Strong experience building web apps with PHP and Symfony and/or Laravel. Our main product is written in PHP.
Experience with backend NodeJS/Typescript is a bonus. When we don't use PHP, we often use NodeJS.
Strong experience with MySQL.
Experience with AWS is a bonus.
You should be a fast learner. We often venture into unknown territory so you should be a Google-fu master and have experience-driven intuition.
You should be excited to dive deep into new technology and new programming languages. We're always happy to try new things if it'll help us ship better software.
You should have a strong understanding of software architecture with opinions on "the right way" to do things.
You should be a "do-er". You will have a lot of autonomy over your own work, and you will be expected to work with the team to make sure your projects get shipped.
You work well with others and enjoy sharing your knowledge and leading by example.
