Senior PHP Developer (ca EUR 90,000 / year) - remote

Skynova Inc
Posted 2 years ago
Skynova has 60,000 happy customers, is bootstrapped and debt free! What a joy these days :-) But what are we doing? Skynova (https://www.skynova.com) provides online invoicing, accounting and 30+ other business modules to self-employed and small businesses. Our main focus is on the US, but we have customers from around 100 countries. Our customers are very happy: The service is easy to use and they get a good selection of tools that they can combine to fit their specific needs - all at a very competitive price point. 

We were founded more than 10 years ago, but we think this is just the beginning! We have a long list of new modules to create, modules to improve, core systems to refactor, experiments to run, data crunching and page loads to speed up and more. The more we work on this, the more we think of - and our customers have some ideas as well :-) 

To step up our efforts, we are now looking for three Senior PHP Developers to work on all of the above! These are fully remote positions, so autonomy and independence would be required. Even though the positions are fully remote, we don’t want to be fully isolated, though, and collaboration is necessary. We collaborate using git, jira, e-mail, google meet and more. In addition you’ll be invited to occasional meet-ups at the office in Oslo, Norway.

There are in total 9 people working here, four in the US and five in Europe, but we are now in the process of scaling up.

As a Senior PHP Developer you’ll be working directly with the founder/technical lead as well as head of product and others in the company - depending on what needs to be done. 

Our stack is the LAMP stack;we use MVC and are moving towards a modular monolith. We don’t use micro-services, Kubernetes or complex cloud offerings. We try to keep things as simple and stable as possible. Boring tech has fewer bugs and require less maintenance which also equals happy developers.

Main responsibilities:
  • Code new modules and improve existing ones
  • Fix bugs
  • Refactor the core system
  • Speed things up
  • Test your own code

Requirements:
  • 5+ years as a PHP developer
  • Experience with web/saas applications
  • Excellent communication skills
  • Excellent English skills
  • Ability to work both independently and in a team

We offer:
  • Stable, long-term contract
  • Fully remote (with occasional meet-ups)
  • Flexible working hours
  • Interesting, diverse projects
  • High degree of independence and impact

If you have any questions, feel free to ask about anything you want. When applying, please include both a cover letter and a resume/CV. We look forward to hearing from you!
