\nLean Library is a scale-up that provides online services to academic institutions across the globe. Our clients include Harvard, NTU and Cambridge.\nWe are a remote-first cross-functional team of 15 based across the globe with a goal to advance student learning and academic research by amplifying the voice of the library – that’s a fancy way of saying we build great tools to help researchers and higher education students access the research they need from the library.\nWe are looking for a Senior PHP Engineer who can write clean code to help us achieve this.\nWe need a self-motivated team player who can bring their experience in problem-solving on busy applications while applying best practices by writing clean code. We are interested in someone who can help build a kind and motivated engineering culture at Lean Library.\n\n\nTHE ROLE\nThe role will involve working within a cross-functional team to deliver the Lean Library platform. Our API platform currently serves approximately 350 million requests/month and we are adding new features to respond to an exciting market.\nThe role will not only involve writing features but also providing strategy on technology choices and direction. We are in the process of rewriting and migrating some old systems into a more modern and cleaner platform, as well as creating new ones (such as a usage logging system). We use Terraform, AWS and Kubernetes and there will be plenty of opportunities to learn these technologies at scale, as well as explore other cloud opportunities.\nSearch is a big part of what we do and we want to explore more around how we’d use search tools such as Elasticsearch to push the product into new directions. \nThe challenges you would expect to face in your first 6 months would be:\n\n\n\n\nhow we build for the future in a clean and maintainable way\nhow do we scale up for growth\nwhat technologies and approaches should we use to solve problems when scaling\nadvise on what the team should look like over the next 2-5 years\n\n\n\n\n\nWe have plenty of projects that are on the roadmap from Greenfield projects to rebuilds and refactors. We are looking to build an engineering culture that promotes people above technology\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSKILLS, QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE\n\n* Technologies\n* PHP 7+\n* Laravel\n* Git\n* MySQL/MariaDB\n* Elasticsearch\n* Docker\n* REST APIs\n* Web stuff (HTTP, CORS etc…)\n* Comfortable with the Linux CLI\n* Nginx\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCode\n\n* Commercial experience writing and delivering software\n* Object Oriented\n* API integration\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClean Code principles\n\n* Decoupled code (and an understanding of SOLID principles)\n* Unit testing with high coverage\n\n\n\n\n\n\n* Worked within an agile development team with code reviews providing honest feedback and best practice\n* High level of communication and interpersonal skills\n\n\n\nNice to have:\n\n* Experience with AWS and Kubernetes - we use this to run our apps\n* Experience with Redis - we use this for caching\n* Experience with GitLab CI – we use this to deploy\n\n \n\n#Salary and compensation\n
