Senior Software Engineer - PHP

Looking for an experienced PHP/Laravel & React Fullstack Developer, responsible for developing and maintaining complex enterprise-level applications and real-time operations.

Backend Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain complex backend features using Laravel (v9+), adhering to SOLID principles and clean architecture patterns.
• Build and manage scalable RESTful APIs to support mobile applications, web interfaces, and third-party integrations, ensuring proper versioning and backward compatibility.
• Develop robust queue-based job processing systems with Laravel Queues (Redis/Database) for asynchronous tasks such as data imports/exports, batch processing, and external service integrations.
• Design and optimize relational database schemas in MySQL, including advanced relationships, stored procedures, triggers, query tuning, and materialized views.
• Create and maintain comprehensive automated test suites (unit, integration, and feature tests) using PHPUnit to ensure code quality, reliability, and maintainability.
• Implement performance optimization strategies such as caching with Redis, query tuning, and memory management for handling high-volume operations.
• Proactively debug, monitor, and resolve production issues using logs, monitoring tools, and performance profilers to ensure system stability and availability.

Frontend Responsibilities

• Develop modern, responsive user interfaces using React (v17+) with functional components, hooks, and ES6+ features, following modular and reusable design principles.
• Build advanced data grids and interfaces with AG-Grid Enterprise to handle complex filtering, sorting, pagination, and real-time updates for large datasets.
• Implement real-time features using WebSockets, Firebase push notifications, and event-driven UI updates to support messaging, tracking, and live data flows.
• Create robust form systems using React Hook Form, Formik, and Yup to support multi-step workflows, dynamic fields, validation, and user-friendly feedback.
• Integrate mapping and geolocation features using Google Maps API and related libraries for tasks like route planning, tracking, and visualization.
• Manage application state effectively using Context API and React Query, with strategies for data caching and background syncing in high-traffic environments.
• Ensure mobile-first design through Tailwind CSS and progressive web app (PWA) principles, offering seamless UX across devices and screen sizes.
• Optimize frontend performance using code splitting, lazy loading, virtualized lists, and render optimization techniques such as React.memo and useMemo.
• Implement end-to-end testing using Jest, React Testing Library, and mocking strategies to validate UI components, API interactions, and business logic.
• Collaborate closely with backend teams to define API contracts, handle loading states, manage error boundaries, and apply best practices for client-server data handling.

Competencies for Success

• Ability to analyze complex business requirements and architect scalable solutions; skilled in debugging distributed systems and solving UI/UX challenges effectively.
• Proficient in developing robust backend systems using PHP and Laravel, with hands-on experience in building interactive, component-driven UIs using React.
• Expert in identifying and resolving performance bottlenecks in backend (e.g., query optimization, caching) and frontend (e.g., virtual DOM, bundle size).
• Strong knowledge of data modeling, ETL, large dataset handling, and building resilient systems with third-party API and webhook integrations.
• Understanding of web security best practices and familiarity with DevOps workflows, deployment, monitoring, and production incident handling.
• Commitment to clean, maintainable code with documentation, tests, and a focus on reducing technical debt through thoughtful refactoring.
• Expertise in responsive, mobile-first, accessible UI development with strong attention to detail and user experience across roles and platforms.
• Knowledge of WCAG guidelines, screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, and ensuring UI consistency across browsers and devices.
• Experience implementing real-time features via WebSockets and building interactive dashboards using D3.js, Chart.js, or similar libraries.
• Strong verbal and written skills for working with cross-functional teams, conducting code reviews, and documenting decisions effectively.
• Quickly adapts to new technologies, domains, and frameworks with a strong drive to stay current with ecosystem trends and best practices.
