PHP / JavaScript Developer (Remote, Global)
Remote · Full-time · Work from anywhere FDC Servers (AS30058) is a global IP transit and dedicated-server provider operating 100+ Tbps of network capacity across 27 PoPs. We're hiring either one senior full-stack engineer, or a mid-level PHP developer and a junior JavaScript developer who work well together. This is an existing product — a real one, used daily by customers and internal teams. Your job won't be to build something from scratch. It'll be to understand what's there, figure out what should change, and make it better without breaking what works. If that sounds frustrating to you, this probably isn't the right fit. If it sounds like the more interesting challenge, read on. WHAT YOU'LL WORK ON The product spans a PHP 8.3 backend built on a plugin-based architecture, a React frontend, Strapi CMS, and a handful of integrations — CRM, Google Maps, Analytics (event-level tracking, not just pageviews). Internal tooling and staff-facing systems are part of it too. Most of the interesting problems here aren't greenfield. They're about making good decisions within real constraints — keeping the system maintainable, improving the parts that need it, and not introducing new pain while you fix old pain. THE STACK Frontend JavaScript, React, Strapi CMS, Figma (collaboration), Google Maps APIs, Google Analytics Backend PHP 8.3, plugin-based PHP architecture, API integrations Tooling GitHub, GitHub Actions, Ansible WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR Senior full-stack You've owned features across frontend and backend, you've worked in existing codebases without rewriting everything, and you write code with the next person in mind. Mid-level PHP + Junior JS You have strong fundamentals and you're honest about what you don't know yet. You learn fast, you ask good questions, and you don't need everything spelled out. For everyone you respect maintainable code over clever code. You communicate clearly, especially when something's blocked or unclear. English B1+ required. We're fully distributed; the team spans the US and Europe, so some practical overlap with those working hours helps. APPLYING Send your CV and written answers to the questions below to [email protected]. A strong answer here matters more than a polished CV.
- Tell us about a production system you improved that wasn't greenfield. What did you change, and what constraints did you have to work within?
- Have you built or maintained a plugin-based system? What was the hardest part — versioning, deployment, compatibility, something else?
- Walk us through a React component or feature you're proud of. What problem did it solve and how did you structure it?
- How do you approach CI/CD for plugin-based web applications?
- What's something you had to learn fast for a project? What did you do and how did it go? Apply To this Job
