Build backend technology that powers the world of sports
For an international tech scale-up, we are looking for a PHP Developer to join a growing engineering team.
The company operates a high-volume data platform used by businesses across the sports, media and technology industries. Behind the scenes, large amounts of real-time data are processed, structured and made available through APIs to customers around the world. This is not a role where you will simply build another website in Laravel. You will work on the core backend of a data-heavy platform, where scalability, performance, clean architecture and reliable APIs actually matter.
What will you work on?
As a Backend Developer, you will help further develop and scale the platform and its APIs.
Your work will include:
- Building and improving backend functionality in PHP
- Developing and maintaining scalable APIs
- Processing and structuring large amounts of data
- Improving application performance and reliability
- Writing clean, maintainable and well-structured code
- Thinking about architecture and technical improvements
- Reviewing code and collaborating closely with other engineers
- Helping improve engineering standards and development processes
The main backend stack is built around PHP and Laravel, but strong knowledge of object-oriented programming and core PHP principles is particularly important.
What are we looking for?
Ideally, you have:
- 3+ years of professional backend development experience
- Strong experience with PHP
- Experience with Laravel or a comparable PHP framework
- A solid understanding of object-oriented programming
- Experience building or maintaining APIs
- An understanding of scalable and maintainable backend architecture
- An interest in performance, data processing and platform engineering
- The ability to work independently while enjoying collaboration with other engineers
Experience working on SaaS platforms, high-traffic applications or data-intensive systems is a strong plus.
Why this role?
You will join an international engineering environment where the product is technically interesting and already used at meaningful scale.
You can expect:
- A performance-related bonus
- A product with international reach and substantial technical challenges
- Plenty of ownership and influence over technical decisions
- A team that takes engineering quality seriously without unnecessary bureaucracy
- A hybrid working environment
