About your Role

You’ll join the product engineering team. Your mission is to build predictable, auditable, and resilient domain services while modernising legacy code safely and incrementally. The core challenge is shipping new features, integrations, and calculations without disrupting live traffic or existing operations — here, a small change in logic can turn into a costly mistake. You will have direct ownership over features end-to-end, actively decompose tasks, and collaborate closely with analysts, QA, and cross-functional teams.

Responsibilities

• Participate in sprint planning and technical discussions
• Decompose tasks together with PM and tech leads
• Develop new functionality within the domain
• Maintain and refactor legacy code without breaking existing business logic
• Integrate and support third-party services (affiliate platforms, tracking systems, payment solutions)
• Ensure correct data processing (attribution, calculations, statuses, synchronisations)
• Analyse and reduce technical debt within the team’s domain
• Improve integration reliability (error handling, idempotency, SLA control)
• Collaborate with analysts and cross-functional teams to clarify requirements

You have

• 3–6+ years of commercial PHP development experience (strong preference for Symfony)
• Experience working in product teams (understanding the full feature lifecycle from idea to production)
• Experience supporting and gradually modernising legacy systems
• Strong understanding of architectural principles
• Experience integrating third-party APIs (REST, webhooks, authentication, error handling, retries)
• Strong SQL knowledge and understanding of indexes and query optimisation
• Ability to read and analyse existing code without rewriting everything from scratch
• Ability to assess risks when changing existing business logic
• Strong ownership and ability to make technical decisions within the responsibility area
• High attention to detail (especially in financial and partnership calculation logic)
• Ability to propose improvements with clear technical justification

Nice to have

• Experience in fintech, affiliate marketing, or partnership programs
• Understanding of traffic attribution principles, UTM tracking, and conversion tracking
• Experience with event-driven architecture or message queues
• Experience in gradual monolith decomposition
• Understanding of commission models
• Experience working with high-load systems
