You should
- 10+ years of backend or fullstack experience - you have been through multiple companies as an employee or contractor and can get up to speed quickly.
- Have PHP 8.3 / 8.4 in the palm of your hand and write clean, readable, testable code.
- Know PostgreSQL in depth - query optimization, working with large tables, replication.
- Know the DBAL and ORM Doctrine and know when (not) to reach for native SQL.
- Have hands-on experience with RabbitMQ, Elasticsearch and Redis.
- Build and debug GitLab CI/CD pipelines from testing to deployment.
- Know how to run an application in Kubernetes (Argo CD, Helm) and Docker.
- Know how to work with OpenAPI.
- Write unit + functional tests in Codeception, use PHPStan, CodeSniffer and Rector as a matter of course.
- Be independent in decision making.
- Don't be afraid to ask if I don't know something or if something isn't clear.
- Be a team player who likes to share know-how.
You will be in this position
- Design architecture and develop new micro-services and monoliths in PHP.
- Optimize the database, scale and ensure high availability.
- Build and manage CI/CD and deployment workflow (GitLab CI → Argo CD → Kubernetes).
- Integrate external systems via queue (RabbitMQ) and REST(GraphQL) API.
- Keep the bar of code quality - code-review, static analysis, test coverage.
- Mentor colleagues, suggest technical standards and best practices.
- Work directly with product and DevOps to scale the platform to thousands of users.
The result of your work will be
- A fast and stable app that won't be stopped even by Monday rush hour.
- CI/CD pipelines that deliver functionality to users in minutes, not hours.
- A codebase we won't be ashamed of in a few years.
- A team that learns from your experience and grows with the product.

”I enjoy developing a tool that I also use on a daily basis. In other words, Freelo is what keeps our entire team afloat. We organize all our work through it, discuss tasks, track time, etc.
This puts even the developer in the role of a user and he quickly learns to work with Freelo and understands its philosophy.
I'm certainly motivated by the fact that users themselves influence improvements to existing features and the creation of new ones, and often write about new features themselves and take an active interest in Freelo's development. Then you can be sure that what you program will always have a use and you know that it will make the daily work of many teams a little bit easier.
From a programmer's point of view, it is important for me that we write clean code and test it using unit tests. The important business logic is then covered by integration tests. We use PHPStan static analysis and CodeSniffer helps us comb the code.
We take care of the correct development principles and we pay attention to code review. We try to keep the technology debt as low as possible and update regularly to the latest PHP versions and libraries used. As the number of users grows, we address application speed optimizations.
Typical: ”Tomorrow it has to be done, the client is pushing” , fortunately there is no threat and so nothing is unnecessarily stitched with a hot needle. We are still testing the new features in advance (final user testing) on our development server and debugging the last bugs and bugs.”
