Senior PHP Backend Developer & (optionally) Sysadmin at Netlift (Montréal, QC, Canada)

Netlift has (live) mobile applications that use a REST API. 
We have a PHP back-end that runs this API, but also scheduled jobs, a rides-matching algorithm that uses worker threads, and multiple websites (http://bit.ly/2HwVZhF, our blog, some landing pages). 
This back-end runs (mostly) on Heroku (AWS-backed) and Amazon Aurora, and connects to multiple remote or micro-services (Google Maps API, OpenTripPlanner, OSRM, SendGrid, etc.)

What you'll do:

• 
  
• Work on our back-end code:
• 
  
  • 
    
  • improve it
  • 
    
  • add new features
  • 
    
  • find and destroy bugs
  • 
    
  • improve it again
  • 
    
  
  
• Participate on the development of the infrastructure & architecture.
• 
  

Furthermore, if you have the experience and/or you want to, you will:

• 
  
• Be responsible for identifying bottlenecks and improving performance of our infrastructure;
• 
  
• Choose, deploy and manage tools and technologies to build, support & improve our infrastructure.
• 
  
• Administer the infrastructure, mostly hosted on Heroku and AWS.
•

• 
  
• Love what you do!
• 
  
• Have some experience with PHP;
• 
  
• Live in Montreal.

You don't need to:

• 
  
• Work from 9 to 5: would be nice if you could be here between 10am and 3pm most days, but we're flexible;
• 
  
• Work from our offices every day: if you want to work from home from time to time, or one day per week, you're welcome to;
• 
  
• Eat before you get to work: we offer breakfasts and coffee and chocolate milk, or Slush, if that's your thing;
• 
  
• Dress formally: you can dress however you like;
•
