Senior PHP Developer Freelancer

looking for freelancer

What you'll be getting up to:

You’d spend most of your time developing and improving existing projects, for example:

Building front-facing websites and pages based on provided technical and functional specifications.

Implementing different strategies for existing products and tools based on requirements.

Taking part in new payment provider integrations.

We’d also do a ton of work together like:

Architecture and developing new features.

Prototyping and evaluating potential implementations.

Meeting business stakeholders to understand the problems they wish to address.

You would spend a lot of time programming, brainstorming on challenging problems and prototyping different ideas. You wouldn’t be just churning through tickets in the backlog — you’d be helping to design entirely new products, figuring out what exactly we’re even building and why.

While being a somewhat big company, we’re split into small teams which means that even though we each have our areas of expertise, we all wear many hats. We’re looking for a programmer, but you’d also help out with things like:

Writing and improving the documentation for the products and tools we make

Helping customer support answer customer questions

Maintaining the ownership of our product

Assisting in troubleshooting production incidents

Take part in OOH on-call application support roe.

If you’ve ever maintained a large project, working with us carries a lot of the same responsibilities.
