Qualifications And Requirements:

• Around 3 years of experience (commercial or from side projects/internships) in PHP development.
• Solid understanding of object-oriented programming (OOP) and SOLID principles
• Some experience with PHP 8+ frameworks (preferably Symfony or Laravel)
• Familiarity with MySQL or PostgreSQL databases.
• Basic knowledge of Git (version control) and REST API integrations.
• Willingness to learn testing (PHPUnit) and asynchronous processing.
• English at a minimum B2 level – to communicate smoothly with teammates and international clients.
• Polish language at a communicative level (our internal meetings are often in Polish).

Nice-to-haves

• Familiarity with Docker or CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions).
• Interest in learning Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Hexagonal Architecture.
• Curiosity about AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude Code, etc.) and how they can improve your coding process

Being a PHP Developer at Boldare means:

• You can boost your skills and potential in the type of products that fit you best. We’ve cut product development into stages (prototype, MVP, product-market fit, and scaling).
• Agile, Scrum, and Lean Startup are not just buzzwords – no project managers, a Scrum Master in every team, and iterative product delivery are standard at Boldare.
• Self-organization – there are no managers in Boldare, so the teams organize their work by themselves. You’ll be engaged in building the product roadmap, sprint planning, etc.
• Transparency and feedback. We always share the results of our work and give each other feedback. Everybody here has full access to data (including knowledge bases, project descriptions, metrics, statistics, strategies, and even financial data). Also, we communicate via open channels to effectively spread information.
• Direct impact on the product and tech stack – our Scrum teams are responsible not only for performing tasks but also for proposing technical solutions. You’re the expert here, so we trust your tech recommendations.
• Clients are partners – we really care about our relationships with them, and we cooperate as equal partners. There will be no proxies in between your team and the client. Forget about waiting ages for the answer to a simple question - you can expect clear and direct communications.
• Face-to-face meetings with clients and the team (which are highly valuable for us). Regular business trips are standard at Boldare. With some partners, we meet once a month, with others every six months. The frequency varies, but we care for all team members to participate in onsite meetings.

What we offer:

• Joining #BoldareTeam, which is a community of open-minded product builders, eager to share their knowledge and best practices.
• Flexible working hours (but there are determined core hours).
• Great atmosphere and teamwork based on various ways of working face-to-face. Caring for our bold bond, we’re meeting regularly to spend time together in real life. At online meetings, we always have webcams on and find some space for pleasant chitchats.
• The possibility of remote or hybrid mode. You can work from home, but still, our teams meet regularly at Boldare offices (Warszawa, Gliwice, Kraków, or Wrocław). Depending on your role, we could need you in the office once a week, month, or quarter.

Skills Required:

• Computer / Software / It / Data
