Senior PHP Engineer, Commerce Team

We build the money side of FTMO: orders, payments, payouts, and the payment providers behind them. Every purchase goes through our code. A bad deploy here is not a broken button;, it is somebody's money, and the way we work reflects that.

We take coding agents seriously, not as an experiment or a shortcut. Most of our code is generated. Every change passes strict PHPStan with custom rules, schema-checked SQL, API breaking-change checks, AI review, and a human sign-off. Incidents went down while output went up. Secure enough for payments, fast enough to ship every week.

• Own features end-to-end: understand the business need, design the domain and the API, build it with agents, ship it, watch it in production.

• Spend more time specifying, reviewing, and verifying than typing. Know where generated code tends to be wrong and look there first.

• Improve the guardrails, quality gates, and observability that keep the agents safe, and cut repeated operational work with runbooks, alerts, and automation.

• Review other people's work, generated or not, and mentor the engineers around you.

• Weekly sprints. Small scope, real output, every week.

• The team owns its process and its planning. Nobody hands us a process, and no process stays unless it helps.

• Ownership is expected and rewarded. If you see a better way to build, test, ship, or run something, bring it. Good ideas get adopted on merit, not on seniority.

• Agile that works. We keep the daily, planning, and retro because they work for us. We drop ceremonies that do not.

Seniority here means judgment and ownership, not years with a framework. The stack is secondary, and we teach it.

• Not a detractor, not a vibe coder. You use coding agents on production code today; you can say concretely where they helped and where they failed, and you stand behind what you ship, whether you or an agent wrote it.

• You know the difference between the perfect solution on paper and the one that ships. No three-day debates: pick the clean option that works and build it.

• Ownership: problems come with a proposed fix, status is always honest, and once the team decides, you execute.

• Appetite: you like a fast pace, you learn fast, and you ask for help early rather than stay blocked.

• You shipped, broke, and fixed real systems in production, ideally with real money in them. PHP and Symfony help; strong engineers from a similar stack pick them up fast.

• Payments, PSP integrations, or other regulated money flows.

• Kafka or event-driven architecture in production.

• Tooling you built for other engineers: static analysis rules, CI checks, agent skills, internal CLIs.
