PHP Engineer

A big hello from the team at Compuco!

At Compuco we empower socially responsible organisations with the digital tools they need to build a better world.

We work with charities across their digital stack helping them to rebuild their processes using flexible open source tools. We help organisations reimagine the way they work so they can focus on impact.

We are seeking a talented and experienced PHP engineer to work with us on a range of high impact open source projects for the not-for-profit sector.

Compuco is split into product teams. As a key member of one of these teams, you'll be involved in the entire development process, from the specification phase through to release. Your principal focus will be on developing new functionality as extensions and modules for projects using CiviCRM and Drupal (7 and 8), but there's a lot going on at Compuco so expect to be exposed to other technologies too!

The platforms we build are business process focussed for the not-for-profit sector, so expect to be working on functionality to help support e-commerce, marketing and payment processing but with a not-for-profit fundraising twist.

We’re a very process-driven team and constantly seek to refine the way we work to ensure that we continue to deliver the highest quality service to our clients and to the sector as a whole. We’re looking for someone with a “can do” attitude to join our growing team.

• Applying software development best-practices and keeping a clean and easy to maintain codebase
• Maintaining documentation
• Writing technical specifications
• Sharing knowledge with and supporting other members of the team
• Participating in planning meetings where priorities and new features development are discussed

Experience sought:

• Experience writing modern PHP code
• Excellent database / SQL skills, including performance optimisation and normalisation
• Experience writing unit tests and with testing processes.
• Be skilled with Git, including rebasing and squashing commits
• Experience with Linux and the command line

Desirable skills:

• Exposure to Drupal 7 and/or 8/9
• Exposure to business applications such as ERP, CRM or HR systems; preferably for the not-for-profit sector
• CI/CD setup and management
• Experience with front-end technologies like Javascript, React, AngularJS, TypeScript and Sass
• Experience with the Symfony or Laravel frameworks

What we value in this role:

• Strong collaboration, written and verbal skills.

• Can do / make it happen attitude.
• And most of all - you are a team player who likes to collaborate with other members of a larger team!

Type: Permanent

Location: Hybrid working (office based in Shoreditch, London) or Fully Remote anywhere in the world
