We’re hiring a Senior PHP & Symfony Software Engineer to work on mission-critical backend systems where code quality, reliability, and accountability are non-negotiable.

- Build and maintain comprehensive automated test coverage using PHPUnit and similar tools
- Follow and promote Test-Driven Development (TDD) practices
- Use static analysis, linters, and code quality tools to ensure reliability and consistency
- Participate actively in code reviews, providing and receiving constructive feedback
- Collaborate closely with product, design, and QA teams to deliver robust solutions
- Break down complex initiatives into well-defined, actionable tasks and guide implementation
- Monitor systems and participate in a rotating on-call schedule when required
- Promote secure coding practices and ensure code is free from known vulnerabilities
- Document architecture, decisions, and processes to support team-wide knowledge sharing
- Mentor junior and mid-level engineers and contribute to a strong engineering culture

About the company
Color Neon is a French brand that designs and manufactures custom LED neon signs. A customer sends us their text, logo or artwork and we turn it into a made-to-measure sign: they choose the font, colour and size, preview it in 3D, and see it on their own wall before they order.
We sell direct across France and Europe from colorneon.com. More than 10,000 homes, bars, restaurants, shops and event planners have bought from us. Every sign is handcrafted, energy-efficient LED neon with a 2-year warranty.
The business runs on Shopify. We built our own 3D neon configurator so customers can design their sign in the browser, and we work AI-first: the team uses Claude and Codex every day to build, test and ship.
We are now opening our first engineering seat in India, in Indore. Until now every technical decision has been made remotely from France. That changes with this hire: one engineer, sitting with the founder, owning the Shopify apps, the storefront rebuild and the configurator. One product, long term, with real ownership.
