Platinumlist is expanding its engineering team and looking for a skilled Software Engineer to help build its massive event ticketing ecosystem. If you are comfortable working with a modern PHP stack and Vue 3, this remote-friendly role offers a chance to influence a platform used across the entire GCC region.
Role Overview
Since 2009, Platinumlist has been the go-to ticketing solution for entertainment, sports, and business events across the UAE and neighboring countries. As a Software Engineer, you won’t just be maintaining legacy code; you will be helping to design new services and scaling the platform that powers major stadium events and high-traffic conferences.
You will be joining a team that values clean architecture, Domain-Driven Design (DDD), and test-driven workflows. The environment is fast-paced, professional, and rewards engineers who take ownership of their modules from development through to production troubleshooting.
Technical Stack & Expectations
To be successful in this role, you need more than just coding skills—you need an architectural mindset. The team works with a modular monolith structure, so understanding how to decouple services is crucial.
- Core Backend: PHP 8.5, Symfony 8, and Doctrine.
- Infrastructure: RoadRunner, MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ, and MinIO/S3.
- Frontend: Vue 3 and Vite with Tailwind CSS.
- Workflow: Git (trunk-based), Jira/Confluence, and rigorous CI/CD pipelines (Bitbucket).
- Quality Control: You should be comfortable writing unit/functional tests and using static analysis tools like PHPStan, Deptrac, and Rector.
Key Eligibility & Requirements
This position is designed for engineers who have spent time in production environments. You should be able to demonstrate:
- Proven experience building and maintaining PHP/Symfony applications in a real-world production setting.
- Strong knowledge of DDD and modular architecture—you know how to build clean, maintainable systems.
- Solid grasp of REST API design and third-party service integration.
- Frontend development skills using Vue 3, including state management and UI/UX implementation.
- MySQL mastery: You can optimize slow queries and read execution plans effectively.
- The habit of documenting your work—you believe that technical documentation is just as important as the code itself.
- Professional English proficiency for documentation and communication.
