Mid Level, PHP Developer

About the role:

Are you a Mid PHP Developer passionate about coding, solving challenging problems, and making an impact? INGENIOUS.BUILD might be your perfect fit! We’re a remote team with ambitious goals, looking for a motivated mid-level engineer eager to take their skills to the next level. If you thrive on initiative and are ready to contribute to transformative projects in our industry, we’d love to have you on board!

Being a part of the team, you will:

• Use software like PHP 8.3, Laravel 11, and PostgreSQL.
• See that our goal is to minimize meetings, allowing you to focus on what you do best: building
• Our flexible working hours mean you can work when you’re most productive
• This is a collaborative space and avoids unnecessary bureaucracy, so every team member influences the product
• Our team has many experienced people who love discussing interesting challenges and sharing knowledge, so there’s always support and inspiration around every corner
• Be committed to continually improving our codebase, reducing legacy code, adding tests, and keeping things up-to-date
• The DevOps team is responsible for infrastructure, so you can focus on development. Our pipelines are set up with PHPStan, PHPCS, unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, all supporting automatic deployments
• Learn that our philosophy is to write code that’s easy to test and reason about. By structuring business logic in clear PHP classes, separate from the framework, we avoid complex, 'magical' solutions that complicate understanding and testing
• We have a fairly big modular monolith. The interactions between modules are based on facades, adapters, or events, helping us maintain strong boundaries and modularity. In our more intricate modules, we incorporate DDD to keep the domain logic well-structured and business-aligned.

What type of person are we looking for?

• We’re looking for engineers who care about impact, not just implementation. You won’t just take tickets and ship code, you’ll help shape the solution. We value teammates who think beyond their “part,” who want to understand the why behind the work, and collaborate to find the best path forward. That means asking questions, challenging assumptions, and partnering across functions to deliver outcomes that really move the needle for the business

• Someone proactive who brings fresh ideas and energy to the team.
• A developer with grit and a drive to tackle tough challenges.
• A person excited to be part of a transformative project that could reshape the industry.

Skills and Experience needed:

• Communicative English. A minimum B2 level is required.
• Experience building scalable applications, ideally with large-scale systems like CRM, CMS, or ERP, though direct SaaS experience is not required.
• Proficiency in PHP 8.1+ and modern frameworks like Laravel or Symfony.
• Focus on framework-agnostic development, with an emphasis on writing clean, straightforward code that delivers the most business value while minimizing dependencies. This will make the code adaptable, easy to understand, and maintainable.
• Familiarity with automated testing frameworks such as PHPUnit and a strong grasp of testing strategies to ensure high-quality, reliable code.

Benefits of Working with Us:

• We provide high-performance company laptops for optimal productivity
• Unlimited PTO lets you take the time you need to recharge
• One-time $500 office budget to set up your workspace
• $50 monthly for educational resources, rolling over until year-end
• Licenses for tools like GitHub Copilot and PhpStorm
• Stock options so you can share in the company’s growth
