About Us
We are building a new, high-performance development team to deliver expert solutions for a key international client. You will be joining an agile team led by a Senior Team Lead, focusing on a robust, scalable application built on a modern Laravel stack. We are looking for a high-impact, senior-level individual contributor who loves tackling complex architectural challenges and writing high-quality, efficient code.
Your Role
As a Senior PHP Developer, you will be a principal technical contributor, responsible for implementing the most complex business logic and architectural components of our application. You will not be managing people; your focus will be 100% on engineering. You will work closely with the Team Lead to design and build scalable, high-performance backend systems.
Key Responsibilities:
Take ownership and lead the implementation of complex backend features using PHP 8+ and Laravel 12+.
Apply a deep understanding of OOP, SOLID principles, and software design patterns to build clean, modular, and highly maintainable code.
Architect and optimize database solutions, demonstrating strong, hands-on experience with MySQL, PostgreSQL, and NoSQL databases like Redis.
Design, build, and secure high-performance RESTful APIs, ensuring data integrity and speed.
Contribute to our testing and quality standards by writing comprehensive tests (PHPUnit, ParaTest) and using static analysis tools (Larastan).
Work proficiently in a Docker-based environment (Laravel Sail) and be comfortable with Linux-based systems.
Collaborate closely with the Team Lead on key architectural decisions and technical strategy.
What We're Looking For (Requirements):
5+ years of professional experience in backend PHP development.
Expert-level knowledge of the Laravel framework and its ecosystem.
A demonstrable, deep understanding of OOP, SOLID principles, and common design patterns (e.g., Repository, Service, DTO).
Proven experience designing and scaling RESTful APIs.
Strong, hands-on experience with relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL), including query optimization and schema design.
Proficient with NoSQL databases, specifically Redis for caching and queues.
Extensive experience with unit and feature testing (PHPUnit).
Solid experience with Docker and Git.
Bonus Points (Nice to Have):
Professional experience with other major PHP frameworks, especially Symfony, as it demonstrates a strong grasp of core architectural concepts.
Familiarity with microservice architecture and principles.
Frontend development experience, especially with Angular.
- Familiarity with the TALL stack (Filament, Livewire, Tailwind CSS).
