Senior Backend Developer

We are looking for a talented backend developer with an understanding of frontend development to join a growing development team. If you’re a PHP enthusiast and enjoy working as part of a dynamic team of developers, look no further. A number of technology stacks and languages would be required (OO PHP, Java script, MySQL, HTML and CSS). This includes a specialization in a specific field of development relevant to Rogerwilco (Backend, Frontend, and/or Drupal).

Rogerwilco is predominantly a Drupal house and therefore Drupal development will be a requirement on the job, however prior experience with the framework is not a must, provided you have experience with other PHP frameworks (Preferable MVC frameworks. Laravel experience is a plus). Your job will include support, maintenance and development work as part of the development team. A thorough understanding of Git and Workflow will be required as you will be working as part of a development team.

A thorough understanding of Dev Ops on Linux environments will be required, therefore prior experience will be preferable.

You will be required to work with the development team within Rogerwilco, but also as a resource to the company and will, therefore, be required to work with, and consult, other departments within the agency. These tasks will include but are not limited to:

• Delivering on development related briefs provided by the client service department;
• Completing assigned tasks on development projects;
• Time management and logging;
• Committing your work to the relevant repositories daily;
• Communicating with the relevant parties that are involved with the work you’re busy with.

Minimum of five years of experience in:

• Object-Oriented PHP (Preferably with an MVC PHP framework such as Laravel);
• CMS development (Preferably Drupal and lesser so Word Press);
• JavaScript;
• HTML and CSS;
• MySQL;
• Git;
• Experience with automation tools like Jenkins;
• Really good understanding of the Linux ecosystem and experience with server management;
• Data migration, transformation, and scripting;
• Setup and administration of backups.
