PHP / Javascript Engineer

Company

PeerIndex

Location

Silicon Roundabout, Shoreditch

Salary

Dependent on Experience

Who Are We? We are PeerIndex (www.peerindex.net) a company based at the heart of Silicon Roundabout leading the way to help global companies and local individuals understand the impact of their conversations on the social web and beyond.

We are expanding our front end team to support our growing number of users of our API as well as building out applications to allow people to better understand this “social influence” thing we do.

Our team is bold and brilliant and are looking for like-minded people. And we are about changing the world - not about punching the clock.

Who Are You? You are a graduate in computer science or a similar quantitative degree (our CTO is partial to EE or ME) and (hopefully) had previous experience in developing amazing applications for users to better understand data. While the role could be simply revamping the existing PHP codebase, we have bigger things in store. Rather than have you simply draft PHP code, you will spend your time learning and growing the entire interface layer - from the application widgets to the MVC - all the way to the high-performing API layer.

And you are one of those PHP guys (gender non-specific) who knows the strengths and weaknesses of different frameworks and is not afraid to argue the finer points of Zend versus Symfony or Cake. But when you defend your position, you have proof from your own code or experiences, not just opinions formed from reading stackOverflow.

You are a stickler for building amazing systems and are not afraid of failing unit or systems tests.

You might be a closet maths geek (yes, you were calculating the odds of Spain winning the Women’s World Cup) - but your true calling is the ability to develop elegant code alongside some amazing people.
