- Optimize application performance and ensure scalability of backend systems
- Conduct thorough testing and debugging to ensure optimal functionality
- Work closely with product managers and designers to understand requirements and translate them into technical solutions
- Keep up to date with industry trends and technologies in PHP development
- Maintain high coding standards, code quality, and best practices within the team
- Drive continuous improvement in backend development processes, tools, and technologies
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Founded in 1998, With Intelligence recognized the lack of comprehensive and timely data for informed decision-making across diverse asset classes.
In response, With Intelligence developed an integrated suite of products that blend data from proprietary brands, providing clients with insights, fund information, performance metrics, and analyst perspectives. Leveraging advanced analytics and AI technologies, the company allows asset managers to navigate the complexities of the market confidently.
A recent investment by Motive Partners positions the company to accelerate its data strategy, expand its offerings across asset classes, and execute ambitious partnership and M&A strategies. Collaborating with industry experts and leveraging Motive Partners' integrated operating model, With Intelligence is positioned to capitalize on the growing demand for data-driven solutions in the global asset management landscape.
