Requirements

At least 5 years' experience as a professional software engineer on teams building web apps with the full PHP web stack, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. If your experience is with another C-based language like C# or Java and you have a desire to work in PHP, that's great too.
Experience building React-based apps written in TypeScript.

Experience working with MySQL, with both PHP-based ORMs and raw SQL
Experience designing and building RESTful APIs
Experience integrating with third-party APIs
Fluent use of a distributed version control system like Git to collaborate on software development within a team
A good writer, which is especially important given the asynchronous and technically precise nature of our work
A team lead for a small team of 1–2 other engineers, though also fully capable of taking substantial features from concept to completion as the sole developer
A systems thinker, able to look beyond the element at hand to consider the broader system and the dynamics and interactions at play within it.
You’re able to work remotely and live in the Eastern, Central, or Mountain time zones in the US.
