Senior Full Stack PHP Engineer

Cape TownIndependent Contractor AgreementSeniorHybrid

This is a rare chance for a seasoned engineer to take full ownership of both the front end and back end of a modern platform, with the autonomy to make real architectural calls rather than just execute tickets. Scrums.com is looking for a Full Stack PHP Engineer to help shape their client's next-generation engineering platform, working hands on with PHP, JavaScript, and AWS. The role sits in a fast moving, AI powered engineering environment, ideal for someone who wants deep technical scope and the credibility of 10 years in the field to back it up.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain full stack features spanning PHP based back end services and JavaScript front end interfaces.
  • Deploy, monitor, and manage workloads on AWS.
  • Make architecture and technical design decisions rather than working purely from a fixed spec.
  • Work with AI assisted development tooling as part of the standard workflow.
  • Collaborate with cross functional teams including product and other engineers to define and ship features.
  • Maintain strong code quality through reviews and best practice.

Experience and education

  • 10 years of relevant professional software engineering experience.
  • Strong hands on PHP experience.
  • Broad, solid JavaScript skills, described as tech agnostic rather than tied to one framework.
  • Practical experience with AWS in a production environment.
  • Comfortable working with AI powered development tools and workflows.
