Descrição da oferta de emprego

This position is fully remote and CLT model and salary range is 20k-28k BRL / mo.

Must-haves

• 8+ years of professional experience as a Software Engineer, with strong emphasis on PHP
• Minimum 1 year of lead development experience (technical leadership, guidance, oversight)
• Strong PHP 7.x and 8.x background (ideally working with PHP in the most recent project) – Comfortable upgrading PHP versions and eliminating underlying vulnerabilities
• Hands‑on experience with Node.js — updating underlying libraries and ensuring proper packaging
• Experience with Docker containerization (application‑side responsibilities, not Kubernetes cluster management)

Day‑to‑Day

In this role, you'll lead a small engineering team (3–5 developers) while remaining hands‑on with PHP and Node.js development. You'll help scope work, estimate story points, guide best practices, and ensure high‑quality delivery as the team modernizes and migrates legacy applications. This includes supporting a large‑scale infrastructure initiative to containerize and move roughly 40 legacy PHP applications onto a Kubernetes‑based platform. The work involves lift‑and‑shift migration with targeted refactoring—preserving the existing codebase, reducing redundancy across applications, containerizing services, and helping move source control into GitHub with updated CI / CD pipelines. You'll partner closely with DevOps and infrastructure teams to ensure application standards and deployment requirements are met throughout the modernization effort.
