    What you will be doing:

    As a Senior PHP Developer, you will be part of an agile Software Development Team and will be responsible for the full lifecycle of an application.

    You will be working with a team of talented Engineers and entrusted in defining the solution, leading the design, architecture and development of web applications using PHP and related technologies.

    You will collaborate with the product team and stakeholders to translate product feature requirements into technical specifications, and will identify the best approach for large pieces of work that span multiple components and teams.

    You will perform code reviews, provide feedback and guidance to your team, and ensure the overall quality and maintainability.

    You will be instrumental in optimizing performance of the application by implementing caching mechanisms, database optimizations and applicable code refactoring.

    You will troubleshoot and resolve complex technical issues in highly distributed systems.

    You will also be mentoring your junior colleagues, and helping elevate the skills and developing the team, ensuring the team stays up to date and applies the new trends in the industry.

    As an expert in the area, you will be the go-to person for big ideas and problem-solving.

    With your large expertise, we know that you'll add a lot of value to the team - be it by suggesting alternative methodologies that may be more efficient, actively improving the tooling to improve use cases, or even designing and developing a technical solution or new processes to create robust, reliable and scalable systems.

    You can expect to use cutting-edge technologies to deliver amazing value and the best product to our customers while scaling our platform to meet the demands of worldwide markets.

    You will be required to program well-designed, testable, efficient code to solve business needs, as well as test and document the implemented solutions.

    Proficiency in other front end technologies like html, css, js is a plus


    Soft Skills:
