Senior PHP Engineer – Rebuild the Brain of an Industry Hybrid | Sydney | Full-time Up to $190k + super
Are you a Senior Engineer looking to work on a platform that genuinely powers an entire industry?
You’re probably not interested in just shipping code. You want to influence architecture, solve meaningful technical challenges, and contribute to rebuilding a system that sits at the heart of an entire sector. This role offers a clear path toward feature leadership or future tech leadership, if that’s where you want to take it.
This is a start-up-style team within an enterprise environment. A high-performing, product-focused group with the autonomy to move fast, and the stability to do things properly. You’ll join a team of 35 engineers, as we double in size to 65+, during a re-architecture of a complex legacy monolith into a modular, scalable platform.
The product is a mission-critical ERP/CRM system automating business processes for Australia’s strata market — backed by a major financial technology company that has recruited senior talent from Google, Meta, and Amazon. It’s used daily by businesses managing millions of homes and billions in funds. We need a senior engineer like you to help elevate it to the next level.
What’s In It For You?
- Ownership over technical design, architecture, and delivery
- Potential to grow into Feature Lead or Tech Lead while remaining hands-on
- Work on a platform with tangible real-world impact
- Contribute to a complex, clear roadmap: untangling 1,000+ APIs and reshaping the system
- Be part of a collaborative, high-performing team with flexibility and support
- Skills in MySQL performance tuning and indexing are highly valued
- Experience with AWS, profiling tools (e.g., DataTrace), cloud build tools, and Karate testing
- Knowledge of secure coding practices, unit testing, and cybersecurity principles (desirable)
What You’ll Be Doing
- Building and modernising high-scale PHP-based systems used across an entire industry
- Improving system design and transitioning a legacy monolith into modular services
- Addressing platform challenges related to performance, scale, and reliability
- Writing clean, secure, maintainable code focused on long-term quality
- Collaborating with senior engineers, product managers, and cloud specialists across multiple squads
