Shoreditch based web technology company, Byng Systems, is looking for a Lead PHP Developer to take on a lead programming role on business and enterprise web application products. Candidates must be proficient in object-oriented and ORM PHP development with evidence of previous experience of working in team environment and experience in LAMP technologies.

Responsibilities

As a PHP developer at Byng Systems you will be dealing with clean, abstracted and highly normalised code. We like the simple life :) By putting in the time at the beginning we seek to minimise the cost of change and most of all making working with each others' code a pleasure. Readable, clear and experienced coding style and patterns are essential.

On a practical level the role will include;

• Creating object models in PHP using configured database schemas and entity descriptions
• Creating APIs to manipulate the model, using use cases as guides
• Devising database schemas and object maps
• Technical quality assurance of junior developer programming
• Communicate ideas and concepts to other members of the development team

An ideal candidate would be

• Solidly grounded in object-oriented principles (circa 5 years plus)
• Proficient PHP or Java programmer
• Comfortable working across backend and frontend design patterns
• Comfortable with templating engines
• Familiar with SVN/CVS and version control
• Aware of use case testing, unit testing and iterative/agile development processes
• Passionate about abstraction and best practice principles

We love to see a business embrace our software for their mission critical business functions. We want fancy Christmas presents from our customers because they have doubled even trebled their revenue by using Byng. To us this means getting inside their business process, understanding requirements and developing the API and functions to deliver on them. We are looking for people that recognise the importance of information management to companies and share the same passion and drive.

You will be working with a team on exciting and challenging projects including some meaty ones; for instance implementing an API interfacing with some 150GB of data and another with hundreds, even thousands of concurrent staff using the systems. We are a modern workshop; developing with push technology, real time connections and glossy UI interfaces.

The position is for an initial 6 month placement moving to a permanent role. Competitive salary depending on experience, flexible working times and amazing office/location. Fun times to be had in a young and forward thinking team.
