Someone used to look for win-win opportunities with an outcome driven mindset, experienced enough to know that for any given technical solution the execution is a key factor for success.

We’re constantly striving to be data driven. That means we measure everything that gives us insights we can use to continuously improve. We do that in a Lean way, using Kanban to represent our workflow while we’re using Scrum as an agile framework.

• Experience with Laravel, Docker and WordPress Bedrock are nice to have
• Clear understanding of fundamental computer science and software engineering concepts (e.g. design patterns)
• Experience with third-parties systems integration and asynchronous jobs
  
• Knowledge of unit and functional testing and experience with TDD (Jest and PHPUnit)
• Familiar with continuous delivery and with the principles of “you build it, you run it”
• Good spoken and written level of English is a must.

Requirements

What you will do

• Lead a scrum team of 3-4 engineers, supporting them in the delivery of custom solutions for our customers.
• Liaise with architects and other senior engineers in order to remove the blockers limiting our capacity of getting things done
• Collaborate with POs and other devs to deliver value incrementally but constantly
• Understand our business needs to make sure you’re addressing them properly
• Advocate best practices and value driven mindset among engineers and product managers
• Liaise with the QA Engineers to test the user stories
