WE ARE

SoftServe is a global digital solutions company headquartered in Austin, Texas, founded in 1993. Our associates work on 2,000+ projects with clients in the USA, Europe, LATAM, and APAC. We are about people who create bold things, make a difference, have fun, and love their work.

We are an API Management and System Integrations Practice, focused on designing and developing next-generation hybrid cloud platform solutions and implementing them across multiple clients and engineering teams. We are a team dedicated to building high-quality SDKs and cloud integrations that sit on top of our AWS-based platform. We take ownership of key technical decisions, drive API strategy, and focus on delivering an exceptional developer experience.

Together with our client, we will embark on a large-scale, multi-year modernization initiative to transform a legacy monolithic PHP application into a modern, microservice-oriented architecture hosted on AWS. We will work on decoupling business domains, architecting, implementing, and maintaining new microservices using Symfony/Doctrine or similar frameworks.

IF YOU ARE

  • A back-end developer with 3+ years of PHP experience (Symfony preferred)
  • Strong in microservice architecture and API-first design
  • Experienced in deploying and operating apps on AWS (ECS, EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, CloudWatch, etc.)
  • Proficient with Docker and Kubernetes (EKS or equivalent) for containerized deployments
  • Hands-on with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or AWS CodePipeline)
  • Practiced in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform or AWS CloudFormation)
  • Experienced with third-party API integrations, including rate limiting and robust error handling
  • Solid on software design patterns, Git, and code quality best practices.
  • AWS certified (Developer Associate or Solutions Architect)
  • Experienced with Doctrine ORM, Symfony 6, or similar frameworks
  • Knowledgeable about serverless patterns using AWS Lambda and API Gateway
  • Familiar with event-driven architecture and queues/streams (SNS/SQS, Kafka)
  • Exposed to observability tools, ideally New Relic (CloudWatch, Datadog, ELK also relevant)
  • Well-versed in cloud security for microservices (IAM, least privilege, encryption)
  • Capable of maintaining daily communication with English-speaking software engineers on the client-side


AND YOU WANT TO

  • Have a strong presence in decoupling the existing PHP monolith into domain-driven microservices and APIs
  • Design, develop, and maintain back-end services using Symfony (or equivalent MVC frameworks) and Doctrine ORM
  • Architect and implement RESTful APIs with consistent documentation, testing, and versioning
  • Build and consume third-party APIs while ensuring performance, scalability, and security best practices
  • Collaborate closely with DevOps/Infrastructure to design cloud-native solutions on AWS (e.g., Lambda, ECS, EKS, S3, API Gateway)
  • Containerize applications with Docker and manage orchestration via Kubernetes/ECS
  • Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines for rapid, reliable deployments
  • Leverage Infrastructure-as-Code tools to ensure reproducible, maintainable environments
  • Contribute to architectural design discussions, code reviews, and cross-functional planning
  • Work within an Agile Scrum framework - participating in grooming, planning, demos, and retrospectives
  • Collaborate with Product, QA, and Analytics to ensure feature alignment and data integrity


TOGETHER WE WILL

  • Care for your and your family’s wellness with a health insurance package
  • Embrace wide career opportunities, challenging projects, technologies, and a clear career path with SoftServe’s People Excellence program
