Hi from the Instapro Group 👋🏼
We're the technology company behind a home services revolution. Our mission is to help tradespeople get the work they want and homeowners hire the tradespeople they need.
At Instapro, every team member’s perspective and experience advances our mission. We are committed to creating a workplace that reflects the communities we serve. We work hard to mitigate biases in our recruitment process and foster a welcoming and inclusive environment.
Instapro Group is looking for a Backend Engineer to join our Internal Enterprise Applications team focusing on developing the integrations between our core platform and the Salesforce platform, which is used by our Customer Support teams in their daily activities.
Team & Technology
You will be working closely with Salesforce Developers and Administrators, as well as a dedicated Product Manager to deliver the team objectives. As the functionality to be developed touches different domains of the core platform, the role will allow you to collaborate with engineers from multiple teams in the organisation.

Our backend stack consists of PHP 8.3, Symfony 6.4, MySQL 8, RabbitMQ, Redis, GraphQL, Docker and Kubernetes, all running on AWS. Furthermore, our main applications are integrated with Salesforce which forms the backbone of our internal enterprise application stack.
We keep a close eye on quality and make sure we test everything in an automated way with tools like PHPUnit, PHPStan, Phan, Cypress and Jest, all integrated into GitLab CI/CD pipelines.
Your role includes the following:
Collaborate effectively with the team, as well as outside the team, to deliver high-quality solutions for our users
Contribute to, maintain, and adhere to the company development quality standards and best practices with other backend developers
Be a present voice during product and technical discussions
Understand data and context that drive decisions
Be proactive in suggesting ideas, solutions, improvements, and offering help
Bring your opinion to the table and be respectful to others while engaging in productive discussions
Share your knowledge and experience with others and help them grow
Demonstrable experience developing web applications with PHP/Symfony
Knowledge of software design principles and backend application architecture
Experience with test automation tools and frameworks
Good communication skills and a collaborative & emphatic mindset
Exposure to agile and lean development processes as part of a cross-functional team
Nice to have: experience with GraphQL, CI/CD pipelines (particularly GitLab) and AWS, interest in Salesforce
