The Role

We are looking for a talented Senior PHP software engineer with a winning combination of skills and experience to join our team. You will be developing for the eSign solution: Xodo Sign, creating innovative new features, and maintaining our existing codebase. As a software engineer at Apryse, you will be involved in all aspects of the software development process and encouraged to provide input on future projects and the company's direction. We strive to use new technology and techniques, so a love of learning new things is a must.

Responsibilities

  • Work as part of the Scrum product development team, implementing new features and improving existing functionality of the Xodo Sign platform.
  • Engage in all stages of development, from requirements gathering and analysis to high-level design, implementation, testing, and maintenance.
  • Conduct research and prepare technical proposals and demonstrations for new projects and product enhancements.
  • Perform code reviews to ensure code quality, consistency, and adherence to best practices.
  • Collaborate closely with fellow engineers, offering support, knowledge sharing, and problem-solving as needed.
  • Champion and promote engineering best practices across the team to drive continuous improvement.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience and strong proficiency in modern PHP, MySQL, and REST APIs.
  • Experience with securing, benchmarking, optimizing, and scaling high-availability applications.
  • Proficiency in Docker.
  • Solid understanding of software development methodologies, tools, and processes.
  • Strong analysis and problem-solving abilities.
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills, both written and verbal.
  • Solid experience with AWS Cloud (EC2, S3, RDS).
  • Experience with the Symfony framework is an asset.
  • Experience with SaaS is a plus.
  • A degree in computer science or computer/software engineering is a plus.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
