You will collaborate closely with front-end developers, product managers, and other stakeholders to deliver high-quality, scalable, and secure solutions that meet business requirements. Your primary focus will be on developing all server-side logic, ensuring high performance and responsiveness to requests from the front-end. You will also be responsible for integrating the front-end elements built by your co-workers into the application. Therefore, a basic understanding of front-end technologies is necessary as well. Key responsibilities include writing clean, well-documented, and efficient PHP code, troubleshooting and debugging applications, and optimizing code for maximum speed and scalability.

You will also participate in code reviews, contribute to architectural decisions, and help maintain code quality, organization, and automation. The ideal candidate has a strong background in PHP frameworks such as Laravel, Symfony, or CodeIgniter, and is comfortable working in an Agile environment. Familiarity with RESTful API design, cloud services, containerization (Docker), and CI/CD pipelines is highly desirable. Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team are essential for this role.
