Job description There are those who piece together scripts they found left and right, and there are those who really dive into purposeful code. You want to be part of the second category: those who design the code of tomorrow’s applications!

You believe there’s no point in rushing. Using the latest, quickest framework or language isn't the solution to everything. Real, robust code requires a lot of thinking and testing, and it should be easy to update without risks!

Requirements You might be a fit for this position if:

• You have at least 4 years experience as a backend developer.
• You are passionate by application architecture including concepts like design patterns and clean architecture.
• You are experienced with REST APIs and familiar with technologies such as PHP, Symfony, Twig, PostgreSQL, PHPUnit, Git, Composer, among others.
• Continuous integration and deployment is, for you, the best way of working.
• You love to learn, improve yourself, and give and receive feedback.
• Reliability and kindness are part of your mindset.
• You can communicate both orally and in writing in both French and English.
