The ideal candidate will have at least 8 years of experience as a back-end developer, 10 years with object-oriented programming languages, and 5 years specifically with PHP, including PHP 8+. Strong experience with MySQL, caching layers like Memcached and Redis, and a proven ability to build and optimize high-scale systems are essential. In-depth understanding of web development, HTTP protocols, Linux server environments, and knowledge of front-end languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, HTML, and CSS are also required.

The annual compensation for this role ranges from $135,000 to $154,000 CAD, including benefits and equity. Rumble offers competitive salaries and provides great benefits.
