PHP Consultant

About us:
ENF: an environmental web platform.
- Changing the world for 17 years and running
- The most popular solar B2B website
- Over 3 million users each year.
Our site is complex — we link companies, products, buyer leads, prices and price
data trends and much more wrapped in a multi-language in-house translation
system. We have a lot of exciting development plans — modernizing our site and
expanding our internal and external functionalities.

Overview of the position:
Responsibilities:
- Help coach the full-stack developers (mainly the two Eastern European
developers that will be hired)
- Ensure a good teamwork atmosphere
- Guide the development and maintenance of our documentation
- Help with project planning and reporting
- Assist in interviewing staff when we are recruiting

Qualifications:
- Experience working in a company that has very professional documentation
and planning systems
- Experience in a senior/management position
- Experience in Laravel or similar PHP MVC frameworks such as Symfony, CodeIgniter and
CakePHP
- Experience in modern frontend development -VUE, Livewire, Alpine.js, Svelte, Angular, etc.
- Fluency in English, strong communication skills
- Open mind to different cultures — as you will be reporting to a British
manager, working with European and Chinese developers, and sometimes
communicating with different internal colleagues from around the world.
- Strong coding abilities

What we offer:
- part-time (1 day/week, or 8 hours through the week)
- a lot of flexibility
- salary: €1,000-€1,200/month (which makes the salary proportional to a €4,000-€4,800/month full-time job)
- work from home

More details:
This is a work-from-home position, and there is a lot of flexibility when you spend the
hours. If you are in a Monday-Friday job and want to do this job outside of regular
office hours and on weekends, that is fine — the developers that will be getting
coaching and support from you will be flexible in when you support them.
You won’t have the pressure of having to manage the department. We have a
manager in place who has worked with us for nine years. However, while our
manager is expert in technical aspects, they are not as comfortable with
documentation, planning processes and so forth. Our Chinese manager is really a
friendly guy — and having worked for a British manager for nine years — he will have
absolutely no trouble communicating with you.
You need to be familiar with good documentation and planning processes and be
able to take a leading role in this area so that in the future, our documentation will be
easy to reference and our task planning will be significantly improved. You should
also be someone personable, helping to ensure that our new European developers
working from home enjoy working with each other and collaborating with other staff
around the world. You also need experience and confidence so that you are saying,
«These are the best options for how we should organize this area.», rather than «How
do you want me to organize this area?».
