Position: PHP Lead/Senior to New Zealand project
Company: Lobby X
Category: PHP
Experience required: 5y
English level: upper

This is a vacancy for an ambitious Lead/Senior Software Engineer with leadership expertise and competency in PHP with willingness to learn and use other technologies and frameworks. 

You would be among the first Ukrainian team mates and you would be responsible not only for the very product delivery, but also for the organization of the development work and setting up the communication with the New Zealand part of the team. It’s important for us to have an ambitious person with a flexible mindset and zest for constant self-improvement. If you are a leader who can not only tell what needs to be done, but also facilitate, mentor and coach, it’s a perfect job opportunity for you!

**About the product:**
We have big ambitions and know that we need more great software engineers to help us to develop and invest in our existing product suite, while also building new software product for the future.

As a member of one of our cross-functional engineering squads, you will work closely with other smart software engineers, as well as our Product Team of Product Owners and a Product Manager, who own the development backlog.

You will be working in a heavily product-oriented environment which embraces individual creativity and expression, diversity of thought and teamwork. We aspire to apply the principles of SCRUM and agile in a way that enhances productivity and delivers products that provide great experiences for our loyal customers.

We're looking for Senior Full Stack Software Engineers to help us hit the big goals that we have for 2022 and beyond. Below is a snapshot of our current tech stack, and what we're looking for in order to fulfill our future plans:

**Current:**
A collection of distributed microservices, built in Kotlin, Go and Typescript
A mature PHP / Yii monolith which powers our client portal, with frameworks including React, Backbone, jQuery and Bootstrap in the frontend
A few other low level services written in Python and Node
We use Github (SCM, PRs, Actions, etc), and a lot of AWS services

**Future:**
We're using Kotlin, Typescript and Go (backend services) and React/Typescript (frontend) for our current and future projects
Expanding and refining our use of AWS to continue to embrace higher-level managed services and technologies

**We provide:**
- authority in building the business processes;
- fully remote work from Ukraine (FOP setup) or relocation to New Zealand in the future (with an opportunity to switch between these two setups);
- flexible working hours: we care for the results not for the process. Important: there will be some meetings in the New Zealand time zone (so ideally you're an early bird available for calls between 8-10 am UA time) ; 
- occasional business trips to New Zealand;
- leadership mentoring and coaching.
