Required skills, technologies and experience

- GIT – work with repo on daily basis, nothing extraordinary
- experience with CI / CD (GitLab, Jenkins)
- Laravel – at least the level presented on laracasts.com
The order of the requirements is not accidental – first of all, we are interested in your approach to solving problems, and only then in the knowledge of one or another technology. The reason for this is the fact that the task of our team is the ongoing maintenance of the application, gradually paying off the technological debt where possible and responding to the current needs of the business. Especially the latter requires an open mind and the ability to look more broadly at things that go beyond our technology.
The system itself is a group of applications written in CodeIgniter 3.x and Laravel 5.x (underneath is MariaDB + MariaDB ColumnStore). These applications help customer analysts work efficiently with millions of data records in the field of supply chain management. Carried out with the help of the industry-recognized authority, Event Storming with customer experts showed that the domain is vast and deep, so you will definitely not be bored 🙂 The infrastructure stands on AWS and is described in Ansible and Terraform, and for the deployment will be responsible Jenkins (work in progress). Tableau is also part of the technological stack, for which our DevOps team is technically responsible.
Your responsibilities
- participation in conceptual work related to the further development of the application (here, close cooperation with Product Owner and analysts on the client’s side) and their ongoing maintenance
- participation in sprint planning and technical task development (backlog refinement), with particular emphasis on the technical description and acceptance criteria
- performing tasks planned during planning, including creating code in PHP, writing unit and functional tests, preparing technical documentation and instructions, code review
- participation in discussions and decisions regarding architecture and technology selection, sharing expert knowledge
- cooperation with the team: 3 programmers, tester, Product Owner, 2 DevOps
- If you have been looking for a place where you will be able to use your entire experience and rise to a higher level, you’ve come to the right place. If we think that we have a chance to get along, we will call you. Everyone who will take part in the recruitment interview will receive technical feedback within a few days, regardless of the recruitment results. We take what we do seriously and we hope to find a common language.
