Job Description

In this role you 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. Your role as a Web Developer will bring deep experience in API-driven development, AWS cloud infrastructure, and modern DevOps practices to help drive this transformation.

You’ll play a key role in decoupling business domains, architecting, implementing, and maintaining new microservices using Symfony/Doctrine or similar frameworks. Your focus will be on delivering high-quality, secure, and scalable API integrations. Ideally, you bring hands-on experience across the full development lifecycle — from design and implementation to CI/CD and infrastructure-as-code — all within an Agile Scrum environment.

This role is primarily WFH / Remote for Florida and Texas candidates but requires flexibility to attend any in office team meetings as needed. **You must reside in FL or TX** to be hired for this position.

Key Responsibilities

Have strong presence in the decoupling of 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 and ensure consistent documentation, testing, and versioning practices.
Build and consume third-party APIs, ensuring performance, scalability, and security best practices.
Collaborate closely with DevOps and Infrastructure teams to design cloud-native solutions using AWS services (e.g., Lambda, ECS, EKS, S3, API Gateway).
Containerize applications using Docker and manage orchestration via Kubernetes/ECS.
Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines to support rapid, reliable deployments.
Leverage infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tools to ensure reproducible and maintainable environments.
Contribute to architectural design discussions, code reviews, and cross-functional planning.
Work within an Agile Scrum framework, participating in sprint grooming, planning, demo, and retrospectives.
Collaborate with Product, QA, and Analytics teams to ensure feature alignment and data integrity.

Qualifications

3+ years of professional experience in back-end development with PHP (Symfony preferred).
Strong understanding of microservice architecture and API-first design principles.
Proven experience deploying and managing applications on AWS (ECS, EKS, Lambda, API Gateway, RDS, CloudWatch, etc.).
Proficiency with Docker and Kubernetes (EKS or equivalent) for containerized deployments.
Hands-on experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions, Jenkins, GitLab CI, or AWS CodePipeline).
Experience using Infrastructure-as-Code tools such as Terraform or AWS CloudFormation.
Strong understanding of third-party API integration patterns, rate limiting, and error handling best practices.
Experience working within an Agile/Scrum environment.
Solid understanding of software design patterns, version control (Git), and code quality best practices.
Excellent problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills.
YOU MUST RESIDE IN FL or TX

*EBG does not offer sponsorship for this role.

What Sets You Apart:

AWS Certification (Developer Associate or Solutions Architect).
Experience with Doctrine ORM, Symfony 6, or similar frameworks.
Knowledge of serverless architecture patterns using AWS Lambda and API Gateway.
Familiarity with event-driven architecture, message queues (e.g., SNS/SQS, Kafka), or data streaming.
Background in travel, hospitality, or entertainment industries, especially with booking, ticketing, or reservation systems.
Exposure to observability tools with focus on New Relic (other examples include CloudWatch, Datadog, or ELK stack).
Understanding of security best practices for cloud-based microservices (IAM, least privilege, encryption).
Experience mentoring developers or leading small Agile teams.
