There are those who piece together scripts they found left and right, and there are those who really dive into purposeful code. You want to be part of the second category: those who design the code of tomorrow’s applications!

You believe there’s no point in rushing. Using the latest, quickest framework or language isn’t the solution to everything. Real, robust code requires a lot of thinking and testing, and it should be easy to update without risks!

We use PHP, Symfony, PostgreSQL, Algolia, and other tools to develop services via REST APIs. Each piece of code is carefully built, tested, and reviewed with love by another developer.

We also use Clean Architecture, TDD, clean code principles, the boyscout rule among others.

Today, we are creating a new Squad that will focus on automation. Being part of this cross-functional team, you will work together with a Product Manager, other Backend and Frontend Developers, a Data Engineer and a Quality Assurance Engineer.

What will you do?

• Build robust, real-time updated connections between different solutions used by our education platform, while minimising dependencies.
• You will work cross-team to develop new features
• You will propose new ideas to improve and iterate on our product and assess their impact
• You will interact with your teammates via peer programming and review, development workload refinement, and evaluation
• You will contribute ideas to improve our engineering standards and processes

You might be a fit for this position if:

• You have at least 4 years experience as a backend developer
• You are passionate by application architecture including concepts like design patterns and clean architecture
• You are experienced with REST APIs and familiar with technologies such as PHP, Symfony, Twig, PostgreSQL, PHPUnit, Git, Composer, among others
• Continuous integration and deployment is, for you, the best way of working
• You love to learn, improve yourself, and give and receive feedback
• Reliability and kindness are part of your mindset
• You can communicate both orally and in writing in both French and English

What do we offer?
