Job summary

Emergn is a technology and management consultancy based in Ireland. We are seeking a Senior/Lead PHP Full-stack Engineer to build enterprise applications end to end in PHP and Angular, collaborating with Business Analysts to drive solutions rather than mere implementation.

Join our team and help shape scalable, modern software while working in a hybrid setup across Ireland—Dublin in particular—and benefiting from a strong focus on learning, growth, and collaboration.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience with PHP.
• Experience in leading and managing teams.
• Hands-on experience in Symfony.
• Angular experience (2+, ideally 15) for building modern front-ends.
• Expertise in relational databases, particularly MSSQL, plus Redis caching.
• Strong grasp of design patterns (MVC, Dependency Injection, CQRS) and architecture styles (microservices, layered).
• Experience building and securing REST APIs, including OAuth.
• Experience delivering in Agile/Scrum with a solid testing discipline covering unit and integration tests.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and maintain full-stack features across a PHP (Symfony) back-end and an Angular front-end.
• Take ownership of the whole solution, collaborating with the Business Analyst to shape requirements rather than waiting for them to be handed over.
• Architect and integrate services using microservices and layered patterns, exposing and consuming secure REST APIs.
• Model and optimize data in MSSQL and improve performance with Redis caching.
• Apply solid engineering practices such as MVC, Dependency Injection, and CQRS, backed by a clear test strategy of unit and integration tests.
• Contribute actively within an Agile/Scrum team, bringing a proactive, business-minded, and curious mindset.
