PHP Developer (Laravel)

As a Laravel Developer specializing in legacy system understanding and tech transition, your role will involve: - Deep-diving into the existing Laravel codebase to map logic, dependencies, and integrations. - Collaborating with the current technical team for structured KT documentation. - Identifying performance bottlenecks, redundant code, and potential upgrade risks. - Assisting in planning and implementing Laravel version upgrades or tech stack migration. - Developing, debugging, and maintaining modules during the transition phase. - Supporting testing, deployment, and configuration tasks when needed. The technical skills required for this role include: - Hands-on experience with Laravel (v8-v10) and strong command over PHP OOP concepts. - Deep understanding of Eloquent ORM, query optimization, and service container architecture. - Practical exposure to REST APIs, middleware, events, and queues. - Good grasp of MySQL database design and performance tuning. - Working knowledge of Git, Composer, and server environments (Apache/Nginx). - Familiarity with Redis, Horizon, or queue-based task processing is a plus. - Experience in codebase audits, Laravel upgrades, or system refactoring preferred. The ideal candidate for this role: - Has hands-on experience working on end-to-end Laravel projects (not just minor modules). - Can read and document legacy logic quickly and accurately. - Is comfortable with debugging, refactoring, and working with minimal guidance. - Understands how to balance speed and maintainability in a live environment. Joining this role will offer you the opportunity to work directly on a live production project with real-world architecture challenges and influence the tech transition strategy. It provides a stable role with scope to transition into a long-term technical position post KT phase.,
