  • Collaboration: Work closely with product managers, UX/UI designers, and other developers to create and refine product features.
  • Testing & Continuous Improvement: Write unit and integration tests to ensure software quality. Continuously improve the codebase, optimize workflows, and introduce new technologies and frameworks when appropriate.
  • Performance Monitoring: Monitor application performance and troubleshoot issues, ensuring that applications run smoothly under heavy traffic.

Skills & Experience:

  • Proven PHP Experience: 5+ years of experience working with PHP and modern PHP frameworks (e.g., Laravel, Symfony, Zend).

  • Database Skills: Expertise with relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL) and knowledge of database design, optimization, and management.
  • API & Microservices: Experience designing, building, and maintaining RESTful APIs. Familiarity with GraphQL and working in a microservices architecture is a plus.
