Job Description
At Epignosis our mission is simple yet bold: To make learning technologies accessible to every business, regardless of geography, sector, or company size. And we’ve been doing just that for more than a decade, empowering millions of people to grow, learn, and thrive through technology that’s both powerful and affordable.
We’re rapidly becoming one of Greece’s largest SaaS companies, serving 12,000+ companies and 22+ million learners worldwide with solutions like TalentLMS (an award-winning cloud LMS built for simplicity), eFront (an enterprise LMS), TalentCards (a mobile app for deskless training), and TalentHR (a lightweight HRIS for people operations).
Our success is built on a team that believes that work should matter — not only to you, but to the world around you. We’re looking for people who light up when solving hard problems, who care deeply about their craft, and who want to build something that genuinely helps people grow.
We are searching for a mid-level PHP Engineer to join our TalentLMS team. The ideal candidate will have a solid background in PHP development, as well as clear understanding of web development best practices. They will be responsible for working closely with fellow developers, as well as our product and design teams to ensure that our applications are both functional and user-friendly.
Responsibilities
As a PHP Engineer, you will:
- Work together with fellow backend, frontend, DevOps and QA engineers, as well as product managers and designers.
- Translate user stories into well-structured, tested backend code and API endpoints.
- Write clean, maintainable PHP code using modern practices and tools.
- Participate in code reviews and take feedback constructively to improve your work.
- Support refactoring efforts and contribute to improving system performance and maintainability.
To be successful in this role as a PHP Engineer, you should have:
- 2–5 years of experience in PHP development (PHP 8.0+ is a plus).
- Strong analytical skills and background in algorithms and data structures.
- Strong understanding of web development and database best practices.
- Familiarity with Unit testing - TDD is a plus.
- Familiarity with designing and consuming modern APIs.
- Familiarity with working on high-volume/high-traffic web applications.
- Familiarity with modern CI/CD tools and best practices.
- Familiarity with AWS will be considered a plus.
Equally important, you are a kind, dedicated and helpful person and you appreciate working with people who share the same qualities. You also have a degree in software engineering or can justify why you don’t need one.
We’ve built a workplace where people can do the best work of their careers. Here’s how we support that:
- Competitive salary and bonuses. Strong base pay plus performance rewards at personal, team, and company levels.
- Stock options for everyone. Build software that empowers millions of learners worldwide, and own a piece of what you’re creating. All team members can become shareholders, and these options have already changed lives.
- Your health is covered in more ways than one. Private health coverage for every team member, access to a nutritionist, and our in-house blood bank — all part of our health and wellness support.
- Comprehensive family support. We’re proud of our progressive family policy, one of the most generous in Greece.
- Daily meals and food allowance. Breakfast and catered lunch at our offices, plus a monthly meal allowance you control.
- Commute covered. OASA transport card or parking space near the office, whichever works for your commute.
- Hybrid work. Work from home and from our modern office in the heart of Athens.
- Employee Advisory Board. You have real input into company strategy through structured advisory sessions. Not common, but we think it should be.
- Learning budget for your growth. Coaching sessions, conferences, university degrees, creative pursuits — we fund it. Continuous learning is our mission and that includes you.
- Part of the Starttech Ventures ecosystem. Access to learning and collaboration across a portfolio of SaaS companies, with resources that support long-term growth.
