ClassOwl is a school-management system used by educational institutions. We are hiring a Middle+/Senior PHP Full-Stack Developer to join the team and work on our existing product. The application is built on a custom PHP framework. Most tasks involve extending and improving the current application: adding product functionality, changing web interfaces, maintaining APIs and integrations, and investigating issues reported from staging or production. The developer will work across backend and frontend parts of a feature. It is important to understand an existing codebase, make changes carefully, and consider how they affect different school installations. We expect the person to take part in a feature from clarification and estimation to implementation and code review.
What you will work with * backend and frontend features in an existing PHP application * vanilla JavaScript, HTML, CSS, jQuery — not a React/Vue SPA * MySQL and SQL queries * REST APIs used by the mobile application * third-party integrations * debugging and fixing issues in staging and production
Responsibilities * clarify requirements together with the Business Analyst, asking questions that help narrow down scope where needed * estimate tasks and discuss solutions with the Lead Developer, considering the impact across different school installations * review code from other developers and give constructive feedback * maintain and extend REST APIs used by the mobile application * integrate and maintain third-party services * investigate and fix bugs reported by QA, Customer Support, and from staging/production * write and optimize SQL queries for new and existing functionality
What we expect * 4+ years of PHP web-development experience, including backend and frontend work * strong knowledge of PHP, vanilla JavaScript, HTML, CSS, and MySQL * experience writing and optimizing SQL queries * experience working with an existing (legacy/production) codebase * ability to work with REST APIs and third-party integrations * Git and Linux experience * English at B1 level or higher
