Your Responsibilities:

• Lead the development and maintenance of our Laravel (PHP)-based backend infrastructure

• Build and optimize robust RESTful APIs that serve our Android application and web interfaces

• Design efficient database schemas and optimize queries using PostgreSQL

• Manage deployment and server operations via WHM/cPanel and Linux environments

• Monitor system performance, identify bottlenecks, and implement performance improvements

• Ensure platform security, maintain clean architecture, and write scalable, maintainable code

• Work closely with the founder and product team to translate business goals into technical solutions


What We’re Looking For:

• 5+ years of experience in backend or full-stack development

• Expert-level proficiency in Laravel (PHP) and PostgreSQL

• Solid understanding of REST API design and integration

• Familiarity with frontend frameworks like Vue.js or React (for admin panel integrations)

• Comfortable with Git workflows, Linux-based environments, and WHM/cPanel

• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and proactive code ownership

• Bonus: Experience with SaaS platforms, food-tech, or restaurant-tech products
