Descrição da oferta de emprego

Overview

We’re looking for a senior-level Full-Stack PHP Developer who thrives on solving real problems, takes full ownership of systems, and communicates clearly and thoroughly. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys digging into existing applications, understanding how they actually work, and improving them with pragmatic, well-reasoned solutions.

You’ll work on production SaaS systems built primarily on PHP 8 and CodeIgniter, spanning application logic, data modeling, and frontend integration. We value engineers who think end-to-end, explain their reasoning, and treat the product as if they own it.

What You’ll Do

• Own application features and fixes from start to finish — from investigation and design through implementation and rollout
• Deep-dive into existing PHP/CodeIgniter codebases to debug issues, improve reliability, and reduce technical debt
• Design and implement new features with attention to maintainability, performance, and clarity
• Collaborate closely with product and engineering peers, clearly explaining tradeoffs, risks, and decisions
• Improve application architecture incrementally (schemas, services, controllers, APIs)
• Participate in production issue triage and root-cause analysis when needed
• Proactively identify improvements rather than waiting for tickets

Core Technical Requirements

• Strong experience with PHP 8 in production environments
• Hands-on experience with CodeIgniter (or deep familiarity with similar MVC PHP frameworks)
• Solid background in LAMP-style stacks (Linux, MySQL/MariaDB, PHP, Apache/Nginx)
• Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs
• Comfortable working across backend and frontend boundaries
• Working knowledge of JavaScript, AJAX, and modern browser behavior
• Strong SQL skills and experience designing/debugging relational schemas

Nice-to-Have (Not Required)

• Familiarity with Redis, Elasticsearch, or similar data stores
• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines, basic DevOps workflows, or cloud hosting (AWS/GCP/etc.)
• Experience modernizing legacy PHP applications
• Familiarity with containerized or service-oriented deployments

What We Care About Most

• Ownership mentality — you don’t just “complete tasks,” you take responsibility for outcomes
• Problem-solving depth — you like understanding why something broke, not just patching it
• Verbose, clear communication — you explain your thinking, document decisions, and surface risks early
• Comfort working independently without constant oversight
• Strong judgment when balancing speed vs. correctness

Experience Level

• 5+ years professional experience building and maintaining PHP applications
• Proven track record working in real production systems (not just greenfield demos)

Working Environment

• Results-focused culture: outcomes matter more than hours
• Remote-friendly, globally distributed team
• High trust, low micromanagement
• Direct access to decision-makers and real influence over technical direction

Why This Role

• Real systems, real users, real problems
• Autonomy to improve code and architecture meaningfully
• Opportunity to be a true owner, not a ticket-taker
• Competitive compensation with room for growth
