Who we are

Xcelirate develops technologically-advanced platforms which are accessed by thousands of users every minute. We offer a workplace where developers collaborate to plan and execute practices that maintain market leadership and support global expansion. What we are looking for

You're a full-stack developer with experience in both backend and frontend. PHP is a reliable backbone; JavaScript is flexible and you know how to keep it in line. You work best with independence and initiative, delivering what is needed without requiring direction. You value clean, maintainable code, but you are pragmatic and know when a simple solution is appropriate. You enjoy building, refactoring, and optimizing apps, and you are comfortable tackling legacy code or large files that need love. Building apps is your thing — you tinker, refactor, and optimize to improve speed and quality. You are not afraid to dive into older codebases and make the necessary updates. What you will be doing
