Job description

We're hiring a PHP Developer for the unglamorous, essential work of making GraphQL fast enough that nobody notices it at all. Think of it less as a job and more as a $48,000 - $73,000 bet Starbucks is placing on your 1 years and your judgment.

Key Responsibilities

• Design GraphQL APIs other Tyler, TX teams will still thank you for next year
• Walk technology stakeholders through GraphQL tradeoffs in language Starbucks execs grasp
• Catch the Go race conditions that only surface under Tyler peak traffic
• Drive the Scrum incident postmortem that stops the Tyler outage from recurring
• Chase down the Scrum integration that silently drops Starbucks events at midnight

What You’ll Bring

• 1+ years building trust the slow, unglamorous way
• Ability to thrive both independently and as part of a tight-knit team
• Practical command of REST API, with bonus points for GraphQL
• Roughly 1+ years operating in a similar PHP Developer position

Starbucks grew up alongside its customers, scaling from a single Tyler room into the technology partner much of TX now trusts. The Starbucks promise is plain: clear expectations, real autonomy, and zero surprise reviews.

The salary is $48,000 - $73,000, the mentorship is hands-on, the benefits are real, and the flexibility is the part you will brag about.

Last touched this morning, the PHP Developer listing remains active and unfilled.
