The Position
OPSWAT is seeking a Lead LAMP Stack Developer to join our NetTAC team. This role primarily focuses on maintaining and enhancing our established LAMP-based framework—utilizing Angular.js, PHP (~5.6), Symfony (3.4), and zendframework/zend-db (2.8)—while also developing smaller, targeted features to improve our Network Detection and Response (NDR) and network traffic analysis platform. Additionally, you will play a key role in transitioning our technology to a modern stack over the coming years.
What You Will Be Doing
- Maintenance & Optimization: Oversee the daily maintenance of our existing LAMP stack, ensuring system stability, security, and performance.
- Feature Enhancements: Develop and deploy incremental features that enhance platform functionality without disrupting the core system.
- Front-End Management: Utilize Angular.js to maintain and improve the user interface, ensuring an intuitive and responsive experience for security professionals.
- Backend Development: Work with PHP (~5.6) in conjunction with Symfony (3.4) and zendframework/zend-db (2.8) to support and enhance backend operations.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate with UX designers, product managers, and backend engineers to align enhancements with overall product strategy.
- Transition Strategy: Contribute to the roadmap and execution of a technology transition over the coming years to a modern tech stack, which will include React for front-end development; Kafka, Go, and Rust for backend services; and advanced data storage solutions such as Parquet, Iceberg, Postgres, and other NoSQL data stores.
- Best Practices & Mentorship: Implement coding standards and best practices while mentoring junior developers on maintaining legacy systems and integrating new technologies.
