Job Description
Our technology team is a dynamic group of Front-End and Back-end developers who produce and maintain web and mobile sites and applications for our customers with the goal of generating “Wow” as a reaction to project delivery.
Rather than working with all-in-one CMS (such as Wordpress, Drupal or Joomla), we carry out our projects with platforms (framework) such as Laravel using a template machine such as TWIG in order to have full control over the appearance of our projects.
Canadian work permit required, and residency in the Montréal area required.
Responsibilities
The back-end web developer is responsible for producing and developing the back-end PHP layer that supports the front-end code (TWIG, HTML, JS), maintaining our clients' site management tools and assisting in the deployment of their sites (hosted under Linux). We can say that the work of developer backend consists in both doing his work and supporting the Front-end developers daily in their work.
Under the responsibility of the Technology Director, the developer will touch on several platform projects of all kinds, respecting the frameworks and requirements of the specifications but integrating a good dose of personal initiative.
Several projects consist in modifying sites with old platforms, often inherited from other firms (sometimes still in PHP 5.3 or even 5.2!), but the new projects follow the following technological stack (stack) :
- PHP Platform : Laravel, in MVC structure
- ORM : Eloquent
- Jig : Twig, via Twigbridge (managed by Front-end developers)
- Collaboration methodology : Gitflow, via Gitlab.
- Development spaces under LAMP, with Cloudlinux and Cpanel
All of this managed with Kanban, with Jira
