ABOUT THE ROLE:
We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (PHP) to join a long-term enterprise project, working on large-scale ERP and finance systems.

What You’ll Do
- Design and implement backend integrations between PHP systems and enterprise platforms (ERP / finance systems such as SAP S/4HANA).
- Migrate and decommission custom finance logic in favor of SAP-standard processes.
- Lead complex, migration-heavy integration initiatives with a high degree of independence and ownership.
- Ensure data correctness, auditability, and resilience (idempotency, retries, observability).
- Collaborate closely with the SAP Product Owner / Technical Project Lead and Staff Engineers, clearly communicating technical decisions and trade-offs in English.
- Document integration patterns and migration decisions for long-term ownership.
What You'll Bring
- Strong senior-level backend experience with PHP in complex, distributed systems.
- Solid experience building system integrations (APIs, async/event-driven patterns).
- Experience integrating ERP or finance systems (SAP is a strong plus).
- Excellent English communication skills, both written and spoken (C1 level or above preferred).
- High level of independence, proactiveness, and ownership in driving integration and migration work.
- Structured, pragmatic, and quality-driven mindset; comfortable with ambiguity and migration work.
Why Join Us
- High-impact SAP S/4HANA transformation with real technical ownership.
- Clear mission, senior autonomy, and complex engineering challenges.
- International, trust-based work environment with flat hierarchies.
