About the Role

 

Important: Laravel-only experience is not qualifying; proven Symfony experience is mandatory!!!

 

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. This role goes far beyond feature delivery; it’s about engineering craftsmanship, technical ownership, and building systems you can truly stand behind.

  • Design, develop, and maintain high-quality backend systems using PHP and Symfony
  • Own features end-to-end, from ticket creation and technical design to production release
  • Write clean, strongly-typed, maintainable, and testable code that meets strict quality standards
  • Apply design patterns thoughtfully and consistently
  • 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

Requirements

  • 5+ years of professional experience with PHP (7.4 / 8+)
  • 3+ years of hands-on experience with the Symfony framework
  • Strong understanding and practical use of design patterns
  • Solid experience with unit and integration testing (PHPUnit, Behat, or similar)
  • Hands-on experience with Test-Driven Development (TDD)
  • Familiarity with static analysis tools (PHPStan, Psalm, or similar)
  • Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines, code coverage, and deployment workflows
  • Excellent technical communication skills and ability to explain and defend technical decisions
  • High ownership mindset and strong sense of accountability

Nice-to-Have

  • Experience working with MongoDB
  • Familiarity with JavaScript, React, Node.js, and/or TypeScript
  • Experience with Docker and/or Kubernetes
  • Experience working on high-availability or mission-critical systems

Benefits

  • Fixed Shifts: 12:00 PM - 9:30 PM IST (Summer) | 1:00 PM - 10:30 PM IST (Winter)
  • No Weekend Work: Real work-life balance, not just words
  • Day 1 Benefits: Laptop and full medical insurance provided
  • Support That Matters: Mentorship, community, and forums where ideas are shared
  • True Belonging: A long-term career where your contributions are valued
