Senior PHP Developer

We are looking for a Senior PHP Developer with a strong architectural mindset to lead the development of our core systems. You won't just be writing code; you will be responsible for the technical excellence of the product. You will design complex business domains, mentor middle developers, and ensure that our Symfony-based applications remain modular, testable, and resilient under high load.

Technical Leadership Requirements:

• Expert PHP 8.3+: Deep understanding of the engine, memory management, and performance optimization.
• Symfony Mastery: Expert knowledge of internal framework mechanics (Compiler Passes, Custom Lexers/Parsers, advanced Security configurations).
• Architectural Patterns:
  • Practical experience with DDD (Domain-Driven Design): Bounded Contexts, Aggregates, Value Objects.
  • Deep understanding of CQRS and Event Sourcing (and when not to use them).
  • Strategic Design: Ability to define boundaries between modules/microservices.
• Infrastructure & Messaging:
  • Experience with Distributed Systems: Handling eventual consistency, saga patterns, and distributed transactions.
  • Advanced use of message brokers (RabbitMQ/Kafka) with focus on Reliability (Outbox pattern, Idempotency).

• Testing & QA: Driving the testing strategy (Unit, Integration, E2E, Contract Testing).

   

Good to Know

• Ecotone Framework: We highly value the ability to implement Message-Driven Architecture using Ecotone.
• Knowledge of how to decouple the Domain layer from the Infrastructure (Symfony/Doctrine) using Ecotone's declarative approach.

• Experience in migrating legacy "Fat Services" to a decoupled, event-driven model.

   

Key Responsibilities:

• System Design: Architecting new modules from scratch, choosing the right patterns for the specific business problem.
• Mentorship: Conducting deep code reviews and holding "Tech Talks" to elevate the team's understanding of DDD and Clean Code.
• Technical Debt Management: Proactively identifying architectural bottlenecks and leading refactoring initiatives without halting product delivery.
