Ever wish your CEO encouraged you to write more automated tests? Or even just understood their importance? Want to work where clean code isn’t a luxury but a priority?

Our founder and CEO is a developer himself, and our elegant code is the vein that keeps our company healthy and growing. You’ll never have to advocate for the importance of investing in code quality. You can save the time (and frustrations) and spend it on doing what matters in a healthy, collaborative environment where your ideas, energy and time are valued.

You’ll be involved in all cycles of software development, including decision making so there are incredible opportunities for you to take initiative, make meaningful contributions, and grow. Forget political struggles or long, pointless debates. You’ll be in a team with minimal distance between word and action, where decisions are made ultra-fast.

This is a rare opportunity to work exclusively with senior-level developers in a diverse, highly organized, result-driven environment where you can thrive personally and professionally.

You’ll become an essential part of our team, someone who is making a direct impact on not only the core product and reputation of our organization but also the whole world of education and beyond!

The IxDF is the global leader in online UX/UI design education. We hold the trust of industry giants like Adobe and IBM, who rely on our courses to train their teams. Prestigious universities, including MIT and the University of Cambridge, use our material into their curricula. Help us take online education to new heights and make a meaningful impact on humankind. We’re entering our third decade with over 170,000 graduates.

We’re proud to have assembled a remarkable team of unicorns who uplift, motivate, and push each other to excel daily. There’s a seat open for someone who shares our passion for excellence. Could that be you?

Project Overview 

Our flagship product is a vast platform with over 30 sub-domains for online courses, masterclasses, online forums, and community meet-ups in 508 cities in 107 countries. We understand what PHP developers need to thrive, and we’ve created an environment that delivers.

• Close to Legacy-Free Codebase. We know how technical debt and legacy code can turn into quicksand, so we continually eradicate it. Some examples include the complete rewrite of our notification and payment system and numerous enhancements made to our course platform.

• Consistent Coding Standards. We are proud of our strict coding standards, which is the cornerstone of our clean and maintainable codebase. You can find numerous examples in the IxDF Handbook, which includes our conventions for PHP, Laravel, SQL, JavaScript, and CSS, along with other useful resources. You can also find other examples in the IxDF UI Kit, which we’re currently rebuilding into an industry-leading  Design System and our handy IxDF component library.

• Crystal-Clear Documentation. Clarity is key. Any line of code should be a succinct, well-crafted, and self-explanatory piece of communication to your future self or your colleague. To string things together, we mix in just the right amount of documentation, with best practices such as focusing on the “why?” and keeping it simple.

• Focus on what matters: Our CI/CD pipeline uses quality tools such as Psalm, PHPStan, Rector, PHPCS, PHP CS Fixer, Deptrac, and ESLint to ensure consistency and code quality. This means we’re almost bug-free despite having numerous, zero-downtime, fully automated deployments to production every day. We don’t like bugs and would rather focus on what matters most.

• Test Coverage: “The only way to go fast, is to go well – Robert C. Martin”. We love automated testing, especially Feature Tests, and use TDD as much as we can.

The Stack You Will Work On 

#UseThePlatform. We focus on enduring technologies over the latest fleeting frameworks so that our developers’ knowledge continually grows, instead of becoming outdated after each trend has passed.

• Always latest PHP and Laravel versions

• Modular monolith comprising 30+ bounded contexts

• Laravel ecosystem: Horizon, Nova, Scout, Pennant, Passport, Inertia, and more

• Web Components, htmx, Tailwind, Vue.js, Inertia.js, Vite

• Server: Docker, Sail, Octane, Forge, nginx

• DBs: MySQL 8, Redis

• Testing: PHPUnit, Laravel Dusk, Cypress

• Advanced CI/CD: GitHub actions, Deployer, Bash

• Code Quality: PHPStan, Psalm , Rector, PHPCS, PHP CS Fixer, Deptrac

• Integrations: Stripe, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Twilio, Mailgun, MailerLite, GitHub, Forge, Coconut, ImageKit, and more

• Cloud: AWS, DigitalOcean

• APM & Monitoring: NewRelic, CloudWatch, BugSnag, GTMetrix

What You Will Be Doing 

We are committed to excellence, and we seek a like-minded enthusiast to join us. This role is not for the average; it’s a calling for a true clean coder. Ahead of you is a highly rewarding and enriching journey on which you’ll:

• Make an impact as you contribute to the development of the back-end modules for interaction-design.org, encompassing new feature development, constant refactoring, and infrequent bug fixing.

• Write maintainable and clean code, covered with clean automated tests, including contribution to our open-source packages.

• Be an integral part of our cross-functional teams to refine specifications for new features and enhancements.

• Maintain our documentation to be up-to-date and ensure it maintains an ideal balance between abstraction and concrete details.

• Implement new features in a test-first manner and expand test coverage for existing code.

• Proactively engage in refactoring of both architecture and code to reduce technical debt, aiming for an optimal developer experience.

• Use Code Review as a knowledge-sharing and problem-solving tool, as well as to improve code quality.

• Develop new requirements incrementally, using feature branches or flags, to ship changes to production as quickly as possible.

If you want even more opportunities to show the world what you can do, you’re in luck! When you’re willing to do the hard work of learning and growing, then you’ll find virtually limitless opportunities with us.
