Job description

A large part of our platform runs on PHP: services that turn a search into a ticket, and the internal tools our operations team uses all day. You'll keep it fast and reliable, and modernize it piece by piece without stopping the line.

What you'll do

• Develop and maintain the PHP services behind booking, ticketing and post-sale operations.
• Improve performance and reliability on a system that handles real money around the clock.
• Refactor legacy corners into something you would be happy to inherit.
• Work with the rest of engineering on shared architecture, reviews and standards.
• Ship, measure, iterate. Releases here are frequent and small.

What we look for

• Solid production experience building and running PHP backends at scale.
• A pragmatic approach: you choose boring technology when boring wins.
• Comfort owning services end to end, from design to on-call reality.
• Clear written communication. We are remote and async by default.
• Travel or payments experience is a bonus, not a requirement.
