Your profile Backend Engineering Expertise: Several years of hands-on backend development experience with preferably strong proficiency in PHP, particularly using the Symfony framework and Python. System & API Development: Proven experience designing, building, and maintaining robust backend systems in production environments, including strong expertise in developing and integrating RESTful APIs. SQL Expertise: Hands-on SQL experience in application development, with strong proficiency in relational data modelling (table design, keys, and constraints) and writing complex, performant queries to support business features. Cloud & DevOps Practices: Experience working with cloud platforms (preferably AWS) and modern DevOps practices such as CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and infrastructure automation. Experience with Docker and Kubernetes is highly valued. Event-Driven Architecture (Bonus): Familiarity with Kafka or similar event-driven messaging systems is considered a strong advantage. Testing & Quality Assurance: Solid understanding of automated testing strategies, including unit and integration testing, with a focus on delivering reliable and high-quality software aligned with overall quality standards.
