About the role

We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer to join our engineering team and help lead the evolution of our platform. In this role, you’ll be responsible for bridging the gap between our modern frontend and our robust PHP-based backend. You’ll translate thoughtfully designed wireframes into a scalable UI while ensuring the underlying API architecture is performant, secure, and maintainable.

You’ll collaborate closely with product managers, UI/UX designers, and the broader engineering team to deliver a polished, end-to-end experience for our users. This role is ideal for a veteran engineer who enjoys full-stack ownership, values clean architecture, and takes pride in building systems that scale from the database to the browser.

What you'll do

• Lead Full-Stack Feature Development: Implement new designs and features across the entire stack, from UI components in React to API endpoints in PHP.
• Architect Backend Logic: Maintain and enhance our backend systems, primarily built on the Phalcon framework, while leveraging experience in modern PHP standards.
• Modernize the UI: Build scalable, reusable components using modern React patterns and integrate them seamlessly with our backend services.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work with designers to ensure technical feasibility and with other engineers to refine our API contracts and data models.
• Uphold Code Quality: Write clean, efficient, and well-structured code. Participate in code reviews and mentor junior/mid-level engineers on best practices in both PHP and JavaScript.
• Optimize & Debug: Troubleshoot complex issues across the stack—from SQL query optimization to frontend rendering performance.

Qualifications

• 7–10+ years of professional software engineering experience.
• Deep PHP Expertise: Strong experience with PHP-based frameworks. While we use Phalcon, we highly value experience in Laravel or similar MVC architectures.
• Modern Frontend Mastery: Proficiency in React, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS.
• Data Orchestration: Hands-on experience with TanStack Query (or similar) for efficient data-fetching and state management.
• API Design: Proven ability to design and consume RESTful APIs that are performant and easy to maintain.
• Full-Stack Mindset: Solid understanding of component-based architecture on the frontend and service-oriented architecture on the backend.

Ownership: Proven ability to take a feature from concept to production with minimal supervision.

Bonus Points

• Experience writing tests using Jest, PHPUnit, or Cypress.
• Familiarity with SQL database optimization and schema design.
• Knowledge of accessibility standards (WCAG) and performance tooling.
• Experience contributing to or maintaining a design system.
