Senior PHP developer

THE OPPORTUNITY

At Boozt we work in small cross functional teams of up to six developers in a big community. In total we are 170 developers spread across 5 locations. At Boozt, a high standard of code is important, which we manage through the latest technology stacks, internal code reviews and sharing knowledge through hackathons, conferences and weekly talks. Here we love to develop, not only the code but also ourselves as developers!

At Boozt.com we have 2 millions active users, to be able to give the full customer experience we have an advanced infrastructure with over 20 systems that we have developed on our own. Due to the many users there is a lot of complexity regarding information and data flow, which of course creates exciting programming problems to solve.

Our Warehouse Management System is one example of all the impressive stuff we are doing. With this system our main responsibility is to control the largest AutoStore installation in the world, having 673 robots at the given moment, operating with more than 700 000 bins. This is being expanded yearly following the growth of the company.

Today we have a good base of senior, mid levels and junior developers. It is therefore a flexibility within Boozt regarding where you want to go in your career. Do you want to evolve towards a tech lead position, a team manager role or if you want to continue as a senior backend developer? It is all possible here.

Living in another country and need a work permit? No worries, we offer a relocation package with a work permit, dependent permits for your family and finding you a home.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

- Development and maintenance in PHP, using the Symfony framework.

- Keep a close dialogue with the business department working in the system to understand the needs of said system.

- Automate manual tasks to help the business users do their everyday work.

- Update and improve new and existing technologies to ensure high system performance.

- Implement new features and functions needed for the company

- Multiple deployments a day due to continuous integration and an agile workflow.

- You will interact with business units to help determine scopes, plan and specify projects.

- Maintaining and improving system integrations using asynchronous messaging (RabbitMQ and Google Pub/Sub and various APIs)



OUR TECH STACK

All our systems are deployed in the Google Cloud Platform. We have adopted Terraform for all the configuration and management of the infrastructure, no manual ad-hoc changes are being done. We are using a mix of Compute Engine, App Engine, Cloud Functions, and Kubernetes to deploy our systems, depending on their needs and characteristics. Current plan is to go more towards Kubernetes, we are in the process of containerizing more of our applications. Cloudflare is being used for CDN, authentication, and canary deployments among other things.

The majority of our systems are written in PHP using the Symfony framework. Among other languages that we are using are Elixir, Go, Python, TypeScript, Kotlin, Swift. For the data layer we have a mix of MySQL, Redis, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, Manticore. We try to be pragmatic and pick the technology that suits us best for the specific task. Cross-system communication is happening over Google Pub/Sub and RabbitMQ.

Observability is something we put a lot of focus on. We are actively monitoring the health of our infrastructure and applications using Datadog. We use it to get a good overview of the errors, make sure that deployments are not affecting performance, make sure that the SLOs are not over the limit, investigate and collaborate during major outages.



YOUR PROFILE



- At least 5 years work experience with PHP development

- Experience from working with PHP frameworks, Laravel or Symfony is a plus.

- Have experience with enterprise systems.

- Experience in working closely with other business units in order to understand the needs and improve the system.

To be successful in our culture it is a lot about enjoying working in an agile, dynamic and team based environment. Here we love to discuss our solutions in order to always improve. You are a person that is open to sharing your knowledge, are curious and humble about the fact that the only thing consistent in technology is change.
