Full-Time PHP Developer (direct hire; not a recruiter)

[Kevin Foster]

Skills We're Looking For (in order of importance)

Advanced PHP programming skills using modern techniques, including

* Object-Oriented Design using SOLID principles and the MVC paradigm
* Adherence to the PHP-FIG coding style guide
* Familiarity with the PDO extension
* Familiarity with common Object-Oriented Design Patterns (Factory, Singleton, Dependency Injection, etc.)
* Familiarity with the use of custom exceptions

This position also requires

* Advanced troubleshooting skills
* Experience debugging PHP code with XDebug
* Familiarity with Composer and Packagist
* Experience developing web applications with Laravel (or other modern OO framework such as Symphony or Zend Framework)
* Familiarity with best practices in web application security (password hashing, input filtering, etc.)
* Experience with test-driven development, continuous testing, and continuous integration

Database

This position also requires a solid understanding of database design. This version of the application will use MySQL as the data store, but we need to allow for portability to other popular Relational Database Management Systems, particularly Oracle and MS SQL Server.

Front End

This position also requires intermediate to advanced skills in HTML5, CSS3, and modern Javascript libraries (such as jQuery, Angular, Backbone, Ember, Node, etc.)

Helpful, but not essential

Experience with Magento, particularly theming and extension development.

The Job
