Hello 👋
We’re looking for an Intermediate PHP/JS Engineer to join us in the plugins team
within Matomo! We build & maintain the premium plugins for Matomo such as
Funnels, Heatmaps & session recording and A/B testing, which empower our
customers to get the most out of Matomo.
You will be actively involved with improving the product and will get your hands
dirty working with big amounts of data and writing code to help process that and
visualise effectively.
You will also work closely with our great product team on improving the product
through iterations and working on brand new features/ideas to bring to our
users.
At Matomo, we will not ask you to come back to the office - we are fully remote!
Our team in plugins is global with people in New Zealand and India, so effective
communication across timezones is essential.

About the Role 🚀
1. Team Collaboration: You'll be right in the mix, helping us refine tickets
and plan our sprints. Think of it as being in the huddle before the big game,
except our game is building awesome software. You will be working in a team with
2 senior developers, QA, product owner, team lead & a UX designer allowing you
to focus on what you’re best at.
2. Automated testing: You write your own tests using PHPUnit and mocha, adding
tests as you go and covering bugs you fix with tests as well!
3. Using the right tools: You can pick the tools you work with, generally we
are working with PHPStorm on an operating system of your choice.
4. Customer & Community Support: Ever been the go-to person when friends need
tech help? That's what you'll be here, helping out our customers and the
community with any problems they're facing. You're the hero with the answers.
5. Pull Requests: We're all about teamwork, so we'll count on you to check out
your teammates' pull requests and give them the thumbs up (or some constructive
feedback if needed).
6. Quality Assurance Tag Team: We're all about quality, so you'll be buddying
up with our QA squad to make sure your work gets tested thoroughly before it
goes out there. We're not just shipping code; we're shipping top-notch,
squeaky-clean code.
7. Document Everything: Remember when your teachers said, "Show your working"?
Well, that's what we're all about. We want everything documented, so others can
pick up where you left off without missing a beat.
8. Product Iteration & Collaboration: Our product is always evolving, and
you'll be right there in the trenches with the product team, tweaking things,
making improvements, and turning good into great.

our customers. You're laser-focused on getting things done and making our users'
lives better.
- PHP Proficiency: You've got a solid grip on PHP, you are comfortable
debugging large codebases, xdebug is your friend (or var_dump/die, no judgement
here).

if you can also use VueJS.
- Eager Beaver: You're all about leveling up your programming game.
Refactoring? Bring it on! Design patterns? You're ready to dive in headfirst.
- Codebase Connoisseur: Big codebases don't scare you. In fact, you thrive on
them! You're the Sherlock Holmes of code, always spotting areas for improvement
and making killer suggestions.
- Communication Champ: You're not afraid to speak up when things aren't moving
along in the sprint. You're like the town crier, keeping the team in the loop
and knowing just how to get yourself unstuck.
- Ownership Guru: From a ticket sitting in the "TODO" pile to marking it as
"DONE," you know how to take charge and see things through. You're like a
task-taming ninja, monitoring progress and delivering to our customers.
- Collaboration Queen/King: You love bouncing ideas around with your
teammates. When faced with a problem, you're not afraid to challenge the status
quo, all while keeping an eye on the clock and the value we're delivering.
