The Role
Intel 471 is seeking a PHP Engineer to maintain and modernize Atlas, an internal application used by analysts to author and publish intelligence content. Reporting to the Director of Engineering, this role is fully remote and open to candidates across Europe on a B2B 12-month contract basis.
Atlas is a mature application, and we are looking for a pragmatic engineer to help it evolve and support its modernization onto our cloud platform. This is a hands-on role with significant autonomy, allowing you to work on a company-wide system and help shape its future. It is ideal for a full-stack-minded engineer comfortable with an established Laravel codebase and its front-end, who can methodically improve it and values careful, dependable work. Atlas is built on Laravel (PHP 8, MySQL) with a JavaScript, CSS, and HTML front-end.
Key Duties and Responsibilities
- Work across the Atlas stack, including the PHP/Laravel back end and its JavaScript/CSS/HTML front-end, building and maintaining features in production.
- Keep dependencies and the framework current, and improve testing, observability, and developer tooling.
- Triage and resolve production incidents and defects.
- Extend automated tests, CI, and deployment automation to ensure smooth changes.
- Help modernize Atlas onto our cloud platform, coordinating with platform and DevOps teams.
- Document the system's behavior, dependencies, and runbooks for knowledge sharing.
- Provide regular status updates to maintain clear priorities.
Education, Experience & Qualifications
Essential
- Demonstrable, significant professional experience building and maintaining production PHP systems.
- Hands-on experience with the Laravel framework, including safe version and dependency upgrades.
- Working knowledge of front-end fundamentals (JavaScript, CSS, HTML) to build and maintain Atlas's interface.
- A track record of safely improving established codebases, evolving them rather than rewriting from scratch.
- Strong debugging, incident-response, and root-cause analysis skills.
- Solid working knowledge of relational databases and SQL.
- Fluency with Git and CI/CD, and disciplined testing practices.
- Able to work autonomously and take responsibility for assigned work, backed by the platform and DevOps teams.
- Professional written and spoken English (B2 or above) for effective work in a distributed team.
Desirable
- Experience migrating or modernizing established systems.
- Familiarity with message queues (Kafka), object storage (e.g., S3), containers (Docker/Kubernetes), and AWS.
- Security-hardening and dependency-management experience.
- Exposure to cyber threat intelligence, data pipelines, or high-volume ingestion systems.
- React experience, enabling contributions to our Verity platform.
- Comfort working with AI coding assistants such as Claude or Codex.
The role reports to our Director of Engineering but will interact and work closely with other areas of the company as needed, particularly the platform and DevOps teams. It is fully remote within Europe and involves occasional travel. The role requires regular contact with our international team located in the United States, South America, Western and Eastern Europe, and Asia, necessitating comfort working with diverse professional and cultural backgrounds.
Benefits
- Competitive compensation
- Remote-friendly culture
- Wellness programs
- Employee recognition program
- A variety of professional development opportunities
- Inclusive culture focused on people, customers, and innovation
