Opportunity

As of today, the SINGULART tech team is composed of 5 skilled developers working in Paris and remotely in 2 cross-functional teams. They are dedicated to creating the best user experience for artists, collectors, and SINGULART business teams.

👩‍💻 As a Senior Back-End Developer at SINGULART, you will:

• Participate early in the discovery process and talk to users to understand their pain points

• Challenge product and design decisions

• Lead software development projects according to your experience

• Build innovative features to solve business problems and help to build an amazing user experience on SINGULART

• Scale our codebase to drive efficiency for the team and quality for our users

• Share your expertise with the team during our weekly internal tech meetups

Stack

Our backend is running on Symfony 5.4 and PHP 8.2. The platform is hosted on AWS, we are using Amazon Aurora to host our MySQL database, and Amazon SQS as queuing service, in addition to Lambda, OpenSearch and many others.

We use GitLab as our DevOps platform, for code reviews, CI/CD & staging deployment. For testing, we use a Kubernetes cluster that allows us to deploy staging environments on the fly on each merge request to perform automated (Jest, Cypress, PHPUnit, behat) or manual testing.

We have a running Docker development environment that allows developers to work on the operating system of their choice.

For now, we have built our Web frontend application mainly using jQuery upon twig templates. This choice was made 6 years ago, at the beginning of the SINGULART adventure. Back then, the existing frontend frameworks were not mature enough to deliver a long-term supported, high-performance e-commerce website that was well optimized in terms of SEO thanks to SSR. Since then we added Stimulus to our front-end stack.

Our development good practices include:

• creating components that will turn into a Design System.

• applying the BEM methodology.

• improving our performance following the Core Web Vitals initiative.

• using Webpack Dev Server via Webpack Encore to speed up development.

• working with a Clean Architecture pattern on the back-end side.

Joining SINGULART today is above all participating in the development of the future stack foundations of a project with a strong and ambitious impact that must be supported by a qualitative tech.
