Developer Team Lead

About the Role

INGENIOUS.BUILD is seeking a skilled Developer Team Lead who is passionate about writing code and excited to lead a small team of engineers. This person should embrace Servant Leadership and be passionate about empowering their team to grow and succeed. The Developer Team Lead should also have excellent programming skills and a deep passion for developing large applications.

What You'll Do

• Use software like PHP 8.4, Laravel 11 and PostgreSQL.
• Lead and guide one engineering team to plan, build, and deliver high-quality software while optimizing code, managing resources, and ensuring timely delivery.
• Oversee hiring, onboarding, and performance reviews, contributing to team and company growth.
• 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.

Who You Are

• 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 team collaboration, knowledge sharing, and a servant leadership mindset.

Why Join Us

• Our goal is to minimize meetings, allowing you to focus on what you do best: building.
• Flexible working hours mean you can work when you’re most productive.
• Collaborative space that 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.
