About the role
We are looking for a talented and proactive Backend Software Engineer to join our growing team and contribute to the development of scalable and secure backend systems powering our Security Workforce SaaS platform.
This is an exciting opportunity to work with a modern PHP stack (primarily Symfony), contribute to designing and building robust RESTful APIs, and collaborate closely with product and frontend teams. As a Backend Engineer with us, you'll have the chance to make a meaningful impact on the future of our technology, mentor others, and take ownership of key technical decisions.
What we are looking for
• Strong PHP experience, especially with Symfony (experience with Yii Framework is a plus).
• Proven ability to design and build RESTful APIs with a focus on scalability, security, and ease of use.
• Comfort and experience working with JSON Schema, OpenAPI/Swagger, and OAuth.
• Familiarity with AWS services, particularly SQS and Lambda.
• Knowledge of Node.js and TypeScript is a plus.
• Solid experience with relational databases (preferably MySQL) and a focus on performance optimization.
• Exceptional communication skills – you understand the value of collaboration and are committed to the success of the product, not just completing tickets.
• A self-starter mindset – you take initiative, proactively solve problems, and don’t need constant supervision.
• Availability to maintain a 6-8 hour overlap with the EST timezone.
Why Join Us?
• Contribute to building technology that supports the security workforce industry, making a real difference.
• Work alongside a friendly and motivated team that values ownership, autonomy, and impact.
• Enjoy a flexible work environment with the opportunity to grow within a product-focused team.
• Be part of a company that encourages continuous learning and career development.
If you’re ready to be part of an innovative and dynamic team, we’d love to hear from you!
