Most people in this occupation already list these. Still required — just not what gets you shortlisted.

What the occupation pays Median $138,970 (middle half $107,524–$175,762). This posting is about at that midpoint.

Estimated from BLS employment for this occupation and area, per-skill prevalence across our listing corpus, and published wage benchmarks — as of Jul 28, 2026. It is a model, not a headcount.

Why we read it this way (7)

No work location or country is specified in the posting. The salary is quoted in EUR, suggesting a European-based role; the US-based flag is set to false accordingly.

The title carries no seniority level. Requirements include mentoring experience and deep PHP/Symfony knowledge, but the overall scope and responsibilities align with a mid-level individual contributor rather than a senior engineer.

Message queue experience is listed as required ('Good knowledge of any message queue management system') with no specific tool named in the requirements section; Kafka appears only in the Tech Stack narrative and is marked preferred.

Redis and GitLab appear only in the Tech Stack section, not in the requirements block, so they are marked preferred.

The 'Nice to have' section explicitly lists Go, Google Cloud, Kubernetes, CI/CD (DevOps fundamentals), AI concepts, Stripe/Clearbridge, Salesforce, and microservices — all marked preferred.

Mentoring experience is listed as a required skill in the JD but names no specific technology, so it is omitted from the skills list per extraction rules.

This role's work location reads as outside the US — the candidate pool, comp, and contention benchmarks here are US-only (BLS employment, Adzuna/USAJOBS demand, and certified H-1B wages), so treat them as a rough US reference, not a local market.
