Role Summary:

This is a hybrid role, the employee will be required to report to our Headquarters in Pittsburgh, PA.

Senior Software Engineer, PHP/Symfony at Wolfe are the prime implementers of the product vision. We have three business units with unique use cases, including Card Linked Gifting, an in-house Gift Card Printing Facility, and high-traffic e-commerce applications. Maintaining performant systems is crucial for our success. Back-end developers are embedded in one of our 5 cross-functional product teams. They work alongside a product owner, designers, other back-end and front-end developers, QA, and DevOps. The product team focuses on delivering a conceptual slice of our business. Our environment is fast-paced. We use an Agile Scrum SDLC that promotes bottleneck reduction and adjustments based on observed metrics.

You love looking under the hood. You live in a world of entity design and business logic implementation. You think in systems. You appreciate the importance of design patterns.

You are motivated and driven. You treat software development like a craft that needs to be honed.

You have experience working with complex systems with many moving parts. You like representing business logic formally (like with state machines). You've built and operated systems that talk to third parties. You can write code that's resilient against third-party failures.

You have an eye toward operations. Code is read and executed astronomically more times than it's written, so you're mindful of how your code can be observed in production, how it recovers from errors, how easily it can be understood by others.

You believe in an SDLC that promotes quick iterations, transparency, and automation.

You appreciate data, whether it's the throughput of your team or the performance of your application. You know your numbers and, more importantly, the bottlenecks that the numbers reveal. This is true for process and production metrics.

Our Development Team:

The Wolfe Development and QA Team agree to these principles:

  1. Production Insight - We don't just write software. We run software. We ensure our applications and systems are working and maintain insight into how they're performing and how they're being used.
  2. Developer Accountability - "Done" means live, out to the world, in front of the people that are going to use it. We need people to own their work from implementation planning, through release, to ongoing production awareness.
  3. Tight Development Loop - It's cheaper to solve problems and answer questions closer to where they arise, so we have a great interest in quick reviews, quick releases, and quick adjustments.
