Job description

MailerLite is one of the fastest-growing email marketing services. We help 996,417 businesses around the world to keep in touch with their customers.

In order to do even bigger things, we need people in our team that are passionate and great at what they’re doing. We’re looking for a PHP Developer who would help us maintain and improve our platform.

Why MailerLite?

Wondering why we think you’ll love working for MailerLite? Here are 6 reasons!

• You won’t be bored
  Our customers are sending more than 20 million emails per day. Scaling the platform while building new amazing features is a challenge that definitely won't keep you bored.
  
  


• You will be challenged with interesting tasks
  The technology stack includes PHP, Angular, MySQL, Redis and Elasticsearch. We work in sprints and manage projects in Github using issues, projects, pull requests and reviews.
  
  


• Take ownership
  We don’t micromanage and try not to interrupt your work with random tasks. We do expect you to take full responsibility and ownership for the stuff you build.
