Senior Full Stack Software Engineer - PHP Focus

About Us

At 800.com, we’re building an intuitive & powerful cloud communications platform for SMBs & Enterprises to communicate via Voice & SMS.

Our backend tech stack currently consists of PHP web apps that serve a public API that our front-end JavaScript app consumes (React / React Native). Our data stores include MySQL, Elasticsearch, and Redis. The underlying infrastructure runs on AWS using a combination of managed services like RDS and non-managed services running on EC2 instances. All of our development runs through CI/CD pipelines that build Docker images.

You should have senior-level experience (~7 years) building modern back-end systems, with at least 5 years of that experience using PHP, and 3 years using Laravel. Familiarity with voice communications such as SIP and WebRTC would be a plus, but not essential.

You have significant experience designing, scaling, debugging, and optimizing systems to make them fast and reliable. You have experience participating in code reviews and providing overall code quality suggestions to help maintain the structure and quality of the codebase.
