Description of the offer

NOTE: This is a full-time, remote, long-term position at a product-based company, accommodating time zones across Europe, Africa, and South/Central/Western Asia. Multiple spots open for this role.

• Always the latest PHP and Laravel versions
• Well-organized medium-size Laravel project divided into 30+modules
• Laravel ecosystem: Horizon, Nova, Scout, Pennant, Octane
• Vanilla JavaScript (incl. Web Components) and Vue.js for Laravel Nova
• Server: Docker, nginx
• DBs: MySQL, Redis
• Testing: PHPUnit, Laravel Dusk, cypress.io
• Advanced CI/CD: GitHub actions + Deployer, enabling multiple daily zero-downtime deployments.
• Stripe, PayPal, Amazon Pay, Twilio, MailerLite, GitHub and other integrations.
• Cloud: Amazon S3, CloudFront

• Contribute to the development of the back-end for interaction-design.org, encompassing new features, occasional refactorings, and infrequent bug fixes.
• Write maintainable and clean back-end code, including our open-source packages.
• Engage with cross-functional teams to refine specifications for new features and enhancements.
• Maintain up-to-date documentation for all developed and modified code (MD + mermaid.js).
• Consistently expand test coverage using PHPUnit and cypress.io, with a preference for TDD.
• Proactively engage in refactoring processes to reduce technical debt, aiming for an optimal developer experience.
• Review peers’ code submissions, utilizing PR reviews as a knowledge-sharing and problem-solving tool.
• Participate in planning, stand-up, and workshop video calls, enjoying 3 meeting-free days weekly for focused work.
• Frequently deploy your code with multiple daily releases (incrementally ship features using feature-flags).

• You possess expert knowledge in PHP and frameworks like Laravel or Symfony.
• Your professional experience with OOP spans over 6 years, grounded in a robust understanding of computer science fundamentals, from data structures to design patterns.
• You are an engineer, not a frameworker. You embody an engineer’s mindset, always curious about the mechanics behind the scenes.
• You are enthusiastic about learning by doing and are committed to putting in the effort to continuously improve your skills.
• You speak and write acceptable English – not perfect English, just acceptable – since you will be working with people from all around the world.
• You value teamwork and prioritize collaboration, focusing on collective goals and harmony in the workplace.
• You are self-motivated and self-disciplined and thus work well in a flat hierarchy with lots of freedom.
• You love to have creative freedom, make independent judgments, and live up to the responsibility that comes with that freedom.
• You are driven by the desire to make a positive impact in the world and to meaningfully improve the lives of others.
• You get bonus points…
  • if you have expertise in TDD, DDD, Event Sourcing, and CQRS.
  • if you hold a Master’s Degree in Computer Science.
  • If you possess strong skills in database management, including scaling and optimization.
  • if you have experience with Vue 3 and/or Angular
  • if you have experience building mobile apps.
  • if you have experience with technologies such as Stripe, Swoole, Customer Data Platforms, or Analytics tools.
  • if you have contributed to open-source projects (you will join a team of laravel/framework contributors)

• A founder and CEO who is also a developer, understanding your challenges and triumphs.
• A zero-effort development environment based on Docker, streamlining your workflow.
• The opportunity to refine and develop battle-tested guidelines for JS and CSS.
• Access to a comprehensive library of books and courses, ensuring your skills and knowledge remain at the forefront.
• A full-time position, within a fully remote organization. Daily video-based contact with your colleagues from elsewhere on the planet, and you’ll get to meet them on team trips 1–2 times per year.
• Forget fluffy titles, political agendas and corporate drama. Your colleagues value your character, work ethic, and what you actually achieve. Junior or senior, if you embody old-school virtues of always striving to become the best version of yourself, you’ll thrive at the IxDF.
• Work with a highly scalable impact-driven model where we’ve consistently created more than 50% growth year-on-year since 2013. Bootstrapped with zero investment capital but built purely on consistency over time and the conviction that affordable design education can improve the quality of life of humankind.
• Work in a company where the distance between idea and execution is minimal. We’re a highly agile organization with zero bureaucracy or corporate politics – but with a high level of orderliness and efficiency.
• Have the chance to feel the impact of helping an ever-growing design education brand empower and enrich the lives of millions of people.
• Work in a company culture where idealism meets high performance and excellence. To help us improve the world (and yourself in the process), you’ll need grit, work ethic, long-term thinking, and self-discipline.
• Work with people who have a hands-on attitude and a bias towards action as opposed to fluff-filled, unrealistic strategies. You’ll need crisp execution skills yourself and the ability to impress your colleagues with concrete results, just like they’ll impress you.
