Senior PHP developer | B2B

THE OPPORTUNITY

At Boozt we work in small cross functional teams of up to six developers in a big community. In total we are 170 developers spread across 5 locations. At Boozt, a high standard of code is important. We manage it through the latest technology stacks, internal code reviews and sharing knowledge through hackathons, conferences and weekly talks. Here we love to develop, not only the code but also ourselves as developers!

We are now looking for developers in Poznán to strengthen the teams working with our business systems. Our office in Poznán consists of 14 developers today that work with our Finance and Order Management System.

Our business systems are developed in-house where we practice engineering-driven business development. Our main focus is to be close to the business units and the users. Using agile work methods and continuous integration we quickly make our improvements a reality, while simultaneously maintaining a high quality product. Within the teams there is an openness to new ideas – here you get the chance to drive changes, make a difference with your solutions and be a key factor in how the system can evolve to be even better. If you want to advance, there is a possibility to try out another team, be involved in a new project or, if you are a people person, there may be possibilities to try a team lead role in the future.

Living in another country and need a work permit? No worries, we offer a relocation package with a work permit, dependent permits for your family and finding you a home.

WHAT YOU WILL DO 

• Development and maintenance in PHP, using the Symfony framework

• Keep a close dialogue with the business department working in the system to understand the needs of said system

• Automate manual tasks to help the business users do their everyday work

• Update and improve new and existing technologies to ensure high system performance 

• Implement new features and functions needed for the company

• Multiple deployments a day due to continuous integration and an agile workflow

• You will interact with business units to help determine scopes, plan and specify projects

• Maintaining and improving system integrations using asynchronous messaging (RabbitMQ and Google Pub/Sub and various APIs)

OUR TECH STACK

All our systems are deployed in the Google Cloud Platform. We have adopted Terraform for all the configuration and management of the infrastructure, no manual ad-hoc changes are being done. We are using a mix of Compute Engine, App Engine, Cloud Functions, and Kubernetes to deploy our systems, depending on their needs and characteristics. The current plan is to go more towards Kubernetes, we are in the process of containerizing more of our applications. Cloudflare is being used for CDN, authentication, and canary deployments among other things.

The majority of our systems are written in PHP using the Symfony framework. Among other languages that we are using are Elixir, Go, Python, TypeScript, Kotlin, Swift. For the data layer we have a mix of MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, Manticore. We try to be pragmatic and pick the technology that suits us best for the specific task. Cross-system communication is happening over Google Pub/Sub and RabbitMQ.

Observability is something we put a lot of focus on. We are actively monitoring the health of our infrastructure and applications using Datadog. We use it to get a good overview of the errors, make sure that deployments are not affecting performance, make sure that the SLOs are not over the limit, investigate and collaborate during major outages.

YOUR PROFILE 

• At least 5 years work experience with PHP development

• Experience from working with PHP frameworks, Laravel or Symfony is a plus.

• Have experience with enterprise systems.

• Experience in working closely with other business units in order to understand the needs and improve the system.

• Fluent in English since this is our corporate language (only applications in English will be considered).

To be successful in our culture it is a lot about enjoying working in an agile, dynamic and team based environment. Here we love to discuss our solutions in order to always improve. You are a person that is open to sharing your knowledge, are curious and humble about the fact that the only thing consistent in technology is change.

Please apply for this position as soon as possible as we work with ongoing selection and interviews.

Welcome with your application!
