Full-Stack Developer - Symfony

We are seeking a skilled developer with strong experience in Symfony, and a product-focused mindset. This role requires someone who not only codes but also understands the "why" behind tasks, ensuring features are designed and implemented to enhance the user experience. We are looking for someone who has a very strong work ethic, and doesn't mind work however long is needed to get the job done

Our platform (Bookingagentinfo.com) connects businesses with talent from all of the world so that they can book, hire, and collaborate with them.  If you’re a problem solver who enjoys taking ownership of your work and collaborating with a dedicated team, this role is for you.

Start date: ASAP

Key Responsibilities

• Develop new features and improve existing functionality in Symfony applications.
• Fix bugs and implement updates swiftly while maintaining high-quality standards.
• Collaborate with team members to understand the purpose behind each task and the end user’s needs.
• Implement features and layouts that are intuitive and user-friendly without requiring design skills.
• Perform thorough testing of your work – there’s no dedicated QA team, so attention to detail is critical.
• Make architectural decisions to improve scalability and performance.
• Maintain quality checks, metrics, and monitoring (e.g., automated testing, error reporting, and performance monitoring tools).

Why You'll Love This Role

• Direct Collaboration: Work closely with team members, from the CEO to Customer Support, in a flat, no-bureaucracy environment.
• Product Ownership: Think beyond coding by understanding the user’s perspective and optimizing feature placement and usability.
• Fast-Paced Environment: If you enjoy shipping features quickly and iterating without unnecessary perfectionism, this role is perfect for you.
• Problem-Solving: We value team members who take initiative and craft solutions that strike the right balance between simplicity and effectiveness.

Requirements

• Symfony Expertise: Proven experience building and maintaining applications in Symfony.
• Product Mindset: Ability to think like a product manager by considering the user’s needs and ensuring features are practical, intuitive, and well-placed.
• Front-End Implementation: Proficiency in HTML, CSS, and Angular (or similar frameworks) to build user-friendly layouts. Design skills are not required, but understanding user flows and logical placement is essential.
• Database Knowledge: Strong understanding of MySQL (or other RDBMS).
• Testing Skills: Ability to write tests in PHP (e.g., PHPUnit) and front-end testing (e.g., Jasmine). Bonus for experience with CI pipelines.
• Version Control: Comfortable working with Git for version control and collaboration.
• Team Collaboration: Strong written and spoken English to effectively communicate with a USA-based team.
• Work Hours: Ability to overlap 3–4 hours with 8:00 AM – 6:00 PM EST.

Who We’re Looking For

• Product-Focused Mindset: You understand the purpose behind each task and ensure designs and implementations align with user needs.
• Fast Worker: You can prioritize tasks, meet deadlines, and deliver without unnecessary delays.
• Self-Starter: You’re proactive, take ownership, and don’t require micro-management.
• Team Player: You enjoy collaborating with others and contributing ideas to improve the product.
• Communicator: You can clearly articulate solutions, risks, and decisions to team members.
• Strong Work Ethic: You’re willing to go the extra mile, including working weekends or long hours when needed, to ensure deadlines are met and projects are shipped successfully.
