- English language fluency: You are comfortable joining calls with clients where neede

- Backend: PHP 8+, Symfony 5.4+, Doctrine ORM
- Architecture: Multi-tenant SaaS with per-tenant schemas and containers, with shared codebase
- Infrastructure: AWS Fargate, Docker, Redis, MySQL, PostgreSQL (for analytics)
- Development: PHPStorm, Bitbucket

Culture, Mission, Fit
We’re a small team with a big global impact. There's no politics, no silos, and no place to hide — only clear decisions, a team of smart capable people, high excellence standards, continuous learning, open feedback, and a shared commitment to building something that lasts.
Your code directly helps doctors stay current with medical advances - when a feature works smoothly, it contributes to better patient care.
Lastly, we're not looking for someone who just wants to ship fast. We're looking for someone who wants to ship right - elegant solutions that scale gracefully and can be maintained by the next developer who touches them. Someone who brings precision without ego, structure without rigidity, and sees AI tools as creativity amplifiers that let you focus on solving real problems.
