Summary

Join INGENIOUS.BUILD, a company creating a top-notch platform for real estate and construction project management. This is a remote position offering flexible hours and a collaborative environment. As a Senior PHP Developer, you will use PHP 8.3, Laravel 11, and PostgreSQL to build and improve our platform. You will focus on building scalable applications, writing clean, maintainable code, and implementing robust testing strategies. The company values proactive individuals who are excited to be part of a transformative project. INGENIOUS.BUILD offers various benefits, including unlimited PTO, a one-time office setup budget, monthly educational resources, and stock options.

Requirements

• Communicative English at a B2 level or higher
• Extensive experience building scalable applications, ideally with large-scale systems like CRM, CMS, or ERP. Direct SaaS experience is a strong plus
• Advanced proficiency in PHP 8.1+ and modern frameworks like Laravel or Symfony, with deep experience in modular monolith and layered architecture
• Strong focus on framework-agnostic development, prioritizing clean, maintainable code that maximizes business value and minimizes dependencies
• Thorough knowledge of automated testing frameworks (e.g., PHPUnit) and robust testing strategies, ensuring high-quality, reliable, and maintainable code

Responsibilities

• Use software like PHP 8.3, Laravel 11, and PostgreSQL
• See that our goal is to minimize meetings, allowing you to focus on what you do best: building
• Our flexible working hours mean you can work when you’re most productive
• This is a collaborative space and avoids unnecessary bureaucracy, so every team member influences the product
• Our team has many experienced people who love discussing interesting challenges and sharing knowledge, so there’s always support and inspiration around every corner
• Be committed to continually improving our codebase, reducing legacy code, adding tests, and keeping things up-to-date
• The DevOps team is responsible for infrastructure, so you can focus on development. Our pipelines are set up with PHPStan, PHPCS, unit, integration, and end-to-end tests, all supporting automatic deployments
• Learn that our philosophy is to write code that’s easy to test and reason about. By structuring business logic in clear PHP classes, separate from the framework, we avoid complex, 'magical' solutions that complicate understanding and testing
• We have a fairly big modular monolith. The interactions between modules are based on facades, adapters, or events, helping us maintain strong boundaries and modularity. In our more intricate modules, we incorporate DDD to keep the domain logic well-structured and business-aligned

Benefits

• We provide high-performance company laptops for optimal productivity
• Unlimited PTO lets you take the time you need to recharge
• One-time $500 office budget to set up your workspace
• $50 monthly for educational resources, rolling over until year-end
• Licenses for tools like GitHub Copilot and PhpStorm
• Stock options so you can share in the company’s growth
