We seek a Senior Engineer eager to go beyond pure execution and become a **trusted reference**, technically leading key projects and serving as the cornerstone of our development teams. If you’re motivated to be one of our technical pillars on the project, enjoy ensuring software quality, and seek an environment where architecture and sound judgment weigh as much as implementation, we want to meet you. **What are we looking for?** ================== We’re looking for a **PHP Software Engineer** with a systemic mindset: someone who not only masters the technology stack but also acts as a bridge between technical vision and the day-to-day delivery of robust solutions **across multiple projects**. We need a highly organized, communicative, and accountable individual capable of moving agilely across different contexts and clients, ensuring that software is reliable, maintainable, and long-lasting engineering. **What will you do at Ideable?** ========================== * **End-to-end development cycle:** You’ll handle development tasks ranging from estimation and definition of acceptance criteria to coding, testing, and production deployment—taking full ownership of the end-to-end delivery flow. * **Architecture implementation:** You’ll actively participate in building the technical foundations of new projects, applying modern patterns to ensure system decoupling, robustness, and scalability according to each project’s needs. * **AI culture:** AI is part of our daily work, and we expect you to use it naturally across the entire software lifecycle. Your challenge will be to apply it under our standards—from defining acceptance criteria through test creation and deployment support—and, above all, help us continuously improve how we use AI at Ideable. * **Product health and observability:** You’ll ensure full application visibility through proactive observability using tools like **Sentry**, and guarantee structural quality via static analysis and health metrics with **SonarQube**. * **Technical excellence and documentation:** Your standard of work will be to produce maintainable, scalable, and properly documented software. You’ll ensure every development aligns perfectly with user flows and designs agreed upon with the product team. * **Quality reference:** You’ll apply your judgment to select the best technical path in each scenario, ensuring every delivery adds real value to the company’s software ecosystem. **What do we need from you?** =========================== * **Proven experience:** A track record of over 5 years in PHP development, with expert-level proficiency in the **Laravel** framework. * **Engineering culture:** Mastery of software engineering best practices and sound judgment on when and how to apply them pragmatically (e.g., applying **SOLID** principles and **Clean Code**, contextually). * **Architectural knowledge:** Hands-on experience in environments using modern architectures, asynchronous event handling, and high-volume relational databases (**PostgreSQL** or **Oracle**). * **AI-Driven Development:** Ability to critically and advanced integrate generative AI tools to elevate software quality across all development phases. * **DevOps culture:** Experience working with continuous integration pipelines, whether in **GitLab CI/CD**, **GitHub Actions**, or similar platforms. * **Communication and autonomy:** Ability to make sound technical decisions in response to unexpected situations, taking ownership of outcomes and explaining technical challenges in business terms. **What would be valuable extras?** ================================ These are not mandatory requirements, but we’d love it if you: * **Infrastructure vision:** Experience or interest in AWS, deployments, CI/CD tools, or Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). * **Functional analysis:** Ability to translate abstract business needs into well-structured technical specifications. * **Frontend knowledge:** If you’re comfortable with—or understand—the work involved in Angular or React, you’ll help us maintain a more holistic view of the product. **What do we offer you?** ====================== * **Impact and trust:** A strategic role with real autonomy to propose improvements and set the technical pace of your projects. * **100% remote or hybrid work:** We believe in a responsibility-driven culture focused on results, with genuine flexibility for your day-to-day work. * **Cutting-edge technical culture:** You’ll join a team committed to constant innovation (agent-based AI, automation, flow methodologies). * **Growth:** A clear career path based on our corporate maturity framework, where your evolution as a trusted reference follows a defined trajectory. **Does this challenge fit you?** ======================= If you believe you’re the person we’re looking for, send us your CV—and if you’d like, tell us about a project you’re especially proud of having led.
