Senior PHP Developer (Laravel)
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!

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.
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.
