The Job in a Nutshell💡
We're hiring a Senior Engineer to lead significant pieces of work on our platform - from shaping the problem with Product, through designing the solution, to shipping it and supporting it in production. You'll be a key technical voice on the team, helping to set the bar for what good looks like and mentoring others as you go. You'll be working with modern PHP and TypeScript/React on a platform that processes hundreds of thousands of orders a week. The challenges are real, the autonomy is high, and the team is small enough that your decisions matter.
What Will You Do❓
- Lead the development of new features end-to-end - from refining the requirements with Product through to shipping and monitoring in production.
- Drive the technical design of significant system changes and set development standards for the Backend team.
- Mentor others and be willing to learn from them in turn.
- Enthuse about new technology and look for pragmatic opportunities to enhance our existing technology stack.
- Operate with autonomy: identify problems, propose solutions, and follow through without needing to be managed.
What Are We Looking For❓
Backend depth: Comfortable leading non-trivial work in modern PHP (7/8+) - Object-Oriented Design, testability, and the trade-offs of common patterns are second nature.
Frontend competence: Can ship production React/TypeScript features end-to-end without supervision.
Scale experience: You've worked on high-traffic web applications and understand what breaks at scale - database hotspots, caching, queueing, idempotency, observability.
Relational databases: Practical experience with MySQL or similar - you can read an EXPLAIN plan and fix a slow query without guessing.
Integration work: Experience designing and consuming HTTP APIs, including handling the messy realities of third-party reliability.
