About the Role Important: Laravel-only experience is not qualifying — proven Symfony experience is mandatory!!! We’re hiring a Lead PHP & Symfony Software Engineer to work on mission-critical backend systems where code quality, reliability, and accountability are non-negotiable. This role goes far beyond feature delivery — it’s about engineering craftsmanship, technical ownership, and building systems you can truly stand behind. You’ll be part of a highly collaborative Agile team, working closely with product, QA, and other engineers across the full lifecycle — from ticket definition and design through testing, review, and production deployment. This role is ideal for someone who values clean architecture, Test-Driven Development, thoughtful technical decisions, and mentoring others while building robust, scalable solutions.
