Requirements:
  • Strong commercial experience with PHP in a modern framework such as Symfony or Laravel in an enterprise or business critical environment

Responsibilities:

  • Write clean, testable, SOLID-compliant PHP using Symfony, with strong unit and functional test coverage as part of everyday development
  • Contribute to and improve shared standards, code reviews, CI, and deployment practices, including the growing use of AI tools in the workflow
