Junior PHP Developer

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Collaborating with our PHP team to build, maintain, and improve our order fulfillment platform
• Learning to design and enhance REST APIs to support various internal and external clients (like our web apps and warehouse systems)
• Working on features that improve our logistics and warehousing processes
• Gaining hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes in a local development setting

Our Tech Stack:

PHP 8.3, Symfony 6, Docker, Kubernetes, Doctrine ORM 3, RabbitMQ, MySQL 8, GraphQL, Elasticsearch

What We’re Looking For:

• Strong attention to detail and enthusiasm for writing clean, maintainable code
• A proactive approach to problem-solving and the motivation to ask questions and seek support
• Basic knowledge of PHP and understanding of object-oriented programming
• Interest in learning about and working with Symfony and Doctrine
• Willingness to work in a collaborative team and open to learning from others

What does it look like and what we are proud of:

• The main backend application provides a REST-like API for several types of clients (web, autonomous robots, iOS picker devices, microcomputer packers, automatic conveyors and more).
• We have the rest of the applications and clients in monorepo for easier CI checks, code sharing, etc.
• We have all services completely dockerized for local development. We deploy builds to a hosted Kubernetes cluster in AWS with a single click on the Argo CD several times a day.
• Each MR can be deployed on a separate cluster for one-button testing in the CI, so we don't argue about a test environment.
• We have set up a lot of checks in GitLab CI (PHPStan, PHP_CodeSniffer, PHPUnit, lint, editorconfig-check, migration check, security scans, renovate-bot).
• In addition to static analysis, we also do a two-round review and the operation is also verified by the QA team and E2E cypress tests.
• We have more than 15 000 database integration tests with the thoughtful creation of independent datasets for each test, ie no shared data that breaks forever.
• We directly automate the agreed coding-rules, so we have already written dozens of our own phpstan rules and coding-standard sniffs.
• We think about concurrence and design the application to withstand race conditions, which is not exceptional in a warehouse environment.
• The application is supported by DataDog, Sentry, and Opsgenie.
• Our database has grown to terabyte size, so even the optimization of SQL queries is becoming the daily bread of all of us.
• We deal with HA, failover, and autoscaling, almost no service runs for us only once.
• Having experienced colleagues is our huge advantage.
• We automatically generate OpenApi documentation of all our REST-like endpoints.
• We open-source some of our best tools and contribute back to the OS community.
• We utilize code coverage.
