There’s a lot to do, from building and integrating new APIs to further improve the customer journey and optimizing the lending platform to deep architectural discussions and development of brand-new product platforms.

  • Strong, modern PHP development experience (PHP 7.2+ is a must)

  • A good understanding of a modern PHP framework like Symfony, Zend, or Laravel

  • Strong understanding of abstraction and interpolation
