Senior PHP Fullstack Software Engineer (BR/ME)

Job Overview

We're looking for a strong Senior Full-stack PHP Software Engineer to join our team. You'll primarily extend and enhance both the backend services and frontend interfaces that power our funnel and onboarding builder—work that directly impacts how thousands of customers create and manage their checkout experiences.

You'll be working in a mix of modern (object-oriented PHP, Laravel/Symfony, React) and legacy code, shipping features that matter while helping us incrementally modernize the stack.

You'll work alongside a team of skilled engineers who care about clean code, pragmatism, and shipping reliable, usable systems.

You'll have real impact on a system serving 65,000+ businesses, with the autonomy to incrementally modernize it.

The Team & Codebase

Editor 2.0 team is focused on our funnel and onboarding builder - a visual editor customers use to create their checkout experiences. It's a complex UI with real-time preview, component management, and integrations with the rest of the platform.

Stack:

• PHP (Laravel/Symfony, OOP)
• React components for editor UI
• MySQL/PostgreSQL, Redis, RabbitMQ
• REST APIs, Composer, PHPUnit, Docker, CI/CD pipelines
• Deployments multiple times per week
• We use PHPStan, PSR standards, and structured code reviews to maintain quality.

Environment:

• Small, autonomous team (4–5 engineers)
• Real ownership of work – not just executing tickets
• Direct collaboration with product and design
• Thorough but constructive code reviews
• Remote-first, async-friendly culture

Key Responsibilities

Week to week:

• Extend backend APIs, business logic, and database queries in PHP
• Build and enhance UI components using React and modern JS
• Ship features end-to-end: from requirements to production deployment
• Debug and fix issues in both legacy and modern code
• Write automated tests for backend and frontend flows
• Participate in code reviews and technical discussions

Over time:

• Take ownership of specific backend services, API endpoints, or frontend modules
• Help migrate legacy PHP/jQuery code to modern full-stack patterns
• Improve performance, reliability, and scalability across the stack
• Mentor other engineers through pairing and feedback

Required Skills

Technical:

• 5+ years of professional experience building full-stack web applications with PHP
• Strong knowledge of PHP and Laravel or Symfony (OOP, dependency injection, service architecture)
• Experience with React or similar modern frontend framework
• Comfortable working with both SQL (MySQL/PostgreSQL) and NoSQL (Redis, Elasticsearch)
• Experience with version control (Git), automated testing (PHPUnit, Jest), and CI/CD
• API design and development (REST or GraphQL)
• Ability to debug complex systems and reason about performance
