  • Work with AWS infrastructure including EC2, S3, RDS, CloudFront, and API Gateway.
  • Set up and manage load balancers to ensure high availability and traffic management.
  • Collaborate with DevOps teams on Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure-as-code using Kubernetes, Terraform, or CloudFormation.
  • Evaluate code quality through peer reviews, version control (Git), and Agile methodologies.

Required Skills:

  • Strong knowledge of PHP 8+ and deep experience with the Laravel framework.
  • Solid experience with MySQL and MongoDB.
  • Familiarity with frontend frameworks and styling using Tailwind CSS and TypeScript.

  • Familiarity with Kubernetes, Terraform, or CloudFormation for infrastructure automation.
  • Proficient in Git, GitHub/GitLab, and Agile practices.

Nice to Have:

  • Exposure to Vue.js, React.js, or Next.js for frontend development.
  • Experience with microservices architecture.
  • Familiarity with Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI/CD.
  • Performance monitoring using New Relic, CloudWatch, or Datadog.

Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • Minimum of 5 years professional experience in PHP and Laravel.
