Senior PHP Technical Lead

As Senior PHP Technical Lead, you are expected to become an expert on Implementing and extending one of our Data or Ecommerce Platforms in PHP and Symfony. You will lead and deliver projects for clients by managing and mentoring other developers and maintaining client relationships. This will include working with a small and multi-functional team to architect, develop, and deliver solutions to our clients.

Working on multiple projects for clients ranging from enterprise to startup scale, talking to clients to understand requirements and deliver progress, developing in the frontend and backend, reviewing Pull Requests, or identifying improvements to the efficiency of all projects.

You will become an expert at configuring, extending, and customizing solutions for our clients. You will help understand our clients’ business needs, and work with our delivery team to configure or extend the platform to meet those needs. You will build, use, and improve shared bundles to provide improvements to multiple clients at once using PHP and Symfony. You will understand platform-first solutions like using the configuration tools, core plugins, and low-code / extension options provided by the platform.

You may deliver custom User Interfaces in HTML templates (Twig), React.js, Type Script, or others depending on project requirements.

Location:

We're headquartered in Charlottetown, PEI, and would love candidates who can work part of their time in the office with the team. That said, we'll consider remote arrangements within the Maritime provinces for strong candidates.

Technologies:

Our stack centers on PHP and Symfony, with MySQL/Maria

DB on the backend. You'll work with HTML, CSS, and Type Script on the frontend, and Git for version control. Familiarity with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and React.js is a plus.

What Success Looks Like:

• Projects are delivered on time that meet performance benchmarks
• You hold a deep knowledge of the Platform
• Code is clean, maintainable, and well-documented

• Clients are satisfied and trust your technical insight
