Leverage Eloquent ORM and Laravel Query Builder effectively, ensuring optimal SQL generation and performance. Develop and maintain secure, high-performance RESTful APIs with a focus on scalability and data efficiency. Implement authentication mechanisms and backend security best practices. Apply automated testing (Pest PHP, PHPUnit) to maintain system stability and code quality. Collaborate in an agile, remote environment, contributing to process improvements and continuous delivery initiatives. Minimum of 4 years of experience working with Laravel (version 8 or above). Proven expertise in MySQL performance tuning, query optimization, and indexing. Strong experience with EXPLAIN plans, normalization/denormalization strategies, and schema design for large-scale applications. Experience working with multitenant SaaS architectures. Solid understanding of Laravel Authentication and API development best practices. Familiarity with ReactJS is an advantage. Excellent problem-solving skills, ownership mindset, and attention to detail. Strong communication and teamwork skills with a proactive, positive attitude. Commitment to continuous learning, professional development, and delivering high-quality work. Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses. Fully remote position with flexible working hours.
