PHP Developer

We work smart and we work hard. We are DevriX.

About the Company
DevriX is a Bulgarian-based WordPress design and development company ranking as one of the top 20 WordPress firms worldwide. Aside from our ongoing client work, we are actively contributing to the WordPress community – the Core platform, open-source plugins and themes, and our large portfolio of custom plugins. 

We are looking for a PHP Developer who is passionate about learning and adhering to the best web development practices while improving and building client projects and internal products of ours. 

Our culture is geek-friendly. Our best engineers contribute to the WordPress Core, build open-source plugins, attend meetups and tech conferences, share technical articles on Slack, organize workshops, and strive for perfection in their coding challenges.

If you identify in the following, we encourage you to read on as we feel you might be a suitable fit for our team: 

• Code quality, speed of delivery, independence, and the mentality of always getting better are all part of your nature.


• Writing clean and maintainable code is the only way and all else is unacceptable. 

What You’ll Need To Succeed:

• PHP skills – OOP, design patterns, working against specific PHP versions, producing an optimal and reasonable standardized code (required), and using experimental APIs (recommended).


• SQL for MySQL understanding – being able to handle different MySQL engines and develop scalable and optimized queries.


• JavaScript – in-depth JavaScript experience is a plus, even though a more limited use is acceptable (bonus is experienced with Backbone.js, node.js, Angular.js, Ember.js, and relevant).


• Experience with other languages (Java, C#, Python, Ruby, C/C++) is a plus.


• Experience with VCS (Version Control Systems) is highly recommended – Git in particular, Hg or SVN would be acceptable.


• Experience with MVC frameworks such as Laravel or Symfony is a plus.


• WordPress backend development experience is recommended – it’s not required if you’re a mind-blowing PHP ninja, but being aware of the life cycle of a WordPress application, hook systems, and general CMS patterns would significantly facilitate the process and would be used all the time here.


• Active participation and contribution to an Open Source community is a great plus – WordPress, PHP, JavaScript, or other communities where you would be involved in.


• Candidates with Open Source products (plugins, libraries, frameworks) are preferred – GitHub, BitBucket, or other source-control repository hosting platform examples are more than welcome.

It’s Great If You Are:

• Motivated and ambitious, responsible to the team, code, deadlines, and the overall business process.


• Communicative and report regularly on Git and in the project management system.


• Committed to getting the job done while being able to enjoy the ride.

What’s In It For You:

Aside from the competitive remuneration and perks that the company offers, working with DevriX is an amazing opportunity because you will: 

• Work with our on-site team of motivated hustlers where team spirit is well developed and very important;


• Work on high-profile projects for international brands or digital products which combined generate more than 2 billion monthly page views;


• Knowledge sharing sessions and workshops;


• Career growth is self-managed. Enthusiastic and motivated folks become project owners and lead other team members;


• Available tech books, tools, subscriptions and provided new ones on demand;


• Library at the office with books and varieties of board games;


• You can attend and speak at different tech events;


• The company organize WordPress Contributor’s days at the office monthly;


• Office Assistant to help you with your daily food orders;


• Flexibility in the working hours (including evening shifts or catching up over the weekend). Standard hours are 11 am - 8 pm;


• Team events at hookah bars, Friday gaming nights, foosball match breaks, movie nights, and many more;


• Get a free Multisport card and 24/7 access to a sports room at the office;
