About The Role

Join our team as a Senior Full-Stack Engineer. In this role, you will work independently to build and improve features across our platforms, refactor and enhance applications, write tests, and participate in all phases of the software lifecycle. You will have the opportunity to work with both backend and frontend technologies, identify inefficiencies, and streamline workflows. This is a contract position with a range of benefits, including a relocation package, health insurance, gym membership, and more.

  • Gérer votre propre temps tout en respectant les priorités fixées par l'entreprise.
  • Construire de nouvelles fonctionnalités et améliorer celles existantes sur nos plateformes.
  • Participer à chaque phase du cycle de vie du logiciel, de l'idéation au déploiement.
  • You’re a Full-Stack Dev - you’ve been around the block, and you know your way through both backend trenches and frontend battlefields. PHP? Still your reliable sidekick. JavaScript? Sometimes a mischievous friend, sometimes a chaos gremlin, but you’ve learned how to keep it in line.
  • Building apps is your thing - you tinker, refactor, and optimize because you can’t help yourself. You get a kick out of speeding things up, cleaning things up, and occasionally wondering what exactly your predecessor was drinking when they wrote that function
  • And yes, you’re not afraid to dive into the relics. That PHP app last touched in 2010? It still needs love. The JavaScript file with 1,200 lines and no semicolons? You’ll wrestle it into submission
  • You live for making things work. Whether that’s a clean new feature, a quirky legacy bug fix, or tracking down why that button refuses to do what it’s told. You like code that’s neat and maintainable, but you’re also practical - you know sometimes duct tape is exactly what the situation calls for
  • You work best with fierce independence. You don’t need hand-holding - you’re the one who does the hand-holding when it’s needed. You don’t wait for direction; you are the direction. To twist a phrase: you’re not the one who knocks, you’re the one who delivers
  • 12+ years of web application development experience: you’ve seen the evolution of web tech and know how to build for the future
  • Deep understanding of scalable web architectures: monolithic, microservices, or hybrid, you know when to use what
  • Knowledge of agile development tools, techniques, and principles
  • Strong expertise in PHP development, debugging, and algorithm/software design
  • Experience deploying, managing, and scaling applications in cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)
  • 10+ years of PHP development, with expertise in at least one framework (Symfony, Zend preferred)
  • Strong grasp of web security: encryption, authentication, authorization, and everything in between
  • 6+ years working with frontend frameworks/libraries like Vue.js, React, Nuxt, or Next.js
  • Passion for automated testing (unit, integration, and end-to-end) and test-driven development (TDD)
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain technical concepts to both engineers and non-engineers
  • Familiarity with Ansible and Terraform for infrastructure automation
  • Hands-on experience building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines
  • We're always looking for the best candidates, so if you think you would be a good fit even if you don't meet 100% of the requirements, we would love to hear from you!
