What Messagebird is looking for in applicants

Transform the communications world! 

We’re proud (and excited!) to be transforming the global communications landscape through our Omnichannel Platform-as-a-Service (OPaaS). 

Senior Software Engineer (PHP) | Remotely from EMEA

As a Senior Software Engineer at MessageBird, you will be responsible for helping design, develop and maintain our communication products and related services. This will enable our customers to send out millions of SMS messages per day; place voice calls via our REST API; gain real-time insights using our Dashboard; and receive their invoices on time, to be automatically paid via direct debit or credit card. 

Our Product Engineering teams have the freedom and authority to create impactful products to empower both our internal and external customers. We use an agile development methodology, meaning we deploy code multiple times per day while ensuring our applications are rigorously tested and statically analyzed.

What You’ll Do

  • Help design and build a performant, scalable and fault-tolerant communication platform.
  • Team up with engineers to solve system design and implementation problems (and get a thrill out of every triumph!).
  • Work with and enable engineers from other teams who interact with the platform.
  • Problem-solve issues based on business/customer need and impact, working with technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  • Refactor legacy parts of the system to sustain team and company growth.
  • Teach others: One of the most meaningful tasks of a Senior Engineer is improving the knowledge level of the team members.
  • You will flourish working in a hyper-growth environment where the next project is ready to be picked up.

What You’ll Bring

  • At least 5 years of relevant software development experience building and designing scalable, highly-available distributed systems.
  • Strong knowledge and strong programming skills in PHP. 
  • Experience dealing with high traffic applications (1M+ requests per day) is a must.
  • Strong experience working with relational and non-relational data stores (like MySQL, Cassandra & Redis).
  • Experience with high-throughput relational database deployments.
  • Experience with refactoring legacy components and systems.
  • Experience with Docker, Containers and Kubernetes.
  • Practical and theoretical knowledge of development patterns, software architectures and design patterns (TDD, Event-Driven, SOLID, Hexagonal, DDD).
  • Knowledge of (cloud) infrastructure principles (load balancing, high availability, containerized services, database configurations) is a bonus.

What You’ll Gain

  • Generous stock options for all Birds
  • WFH set-up budget
  • State-of-the-art work gear
  • Learn from hundreds of the best minds in the business
  • Collaborate with diverse colleagues from over 55 countries (and counting)
