PHP Backend Developer

About the job

Experience: 5–6 Years About the Role We are looking for a seasoned PHP Backend Developer. In this role, you will act as a core technical anchor across multiple dynamic projects. You won't just be taking tickets; you will be responsible for the architectural integrity of our web applications, ensuring they are scalable, secure, and performant. The ideal candidate has moved beyond simple coding and understands the software development lifecycle (SDLC) deeply. You are comfortable modernizing legacy codebases, designing complex database schemas, and building robust APIs that power modern front ends. Key Responsibilities: Architecture & Development: Design and build scalable backend solutions using PHP 8.x, primarily within Laravel, while maintaining and upgrading legacy projects in CodeIgniter. Database Engineering: Design complex relational database schemas in MySQL. Optimize slow queries, manage indexes, and ensure data integrity across high-traffic applications. API Management: Develop and document secure RESTful APIs for consumption by frontend frameworks (Vue.js/React) and mobile applications. Code Quality & DevOps: Implement best practices for code reviews, and version control (Git flow). Assist in setting up CI/CD pipelines and deployment processes. Problem Solving: Troubleshoot complex bugs in production environments and refactor "spaghetti code" into modular, maintainable architecture. Collaboration: Work cross-functionally with Project Managers to translate business requirements into technical specifications and provide accurate time estimates for deliverables.
