About the Role

We seek a highly experienced Senior PHP Backend Engineer to drive the technical execution of our mission-critical product modernization initiative. You will serve as a backend specialist, hands-on coder, and key contributor, leading the transition of a legacy software ecosystem to a modern, high-growth SaaS future built on a PHP stack. Your experience will be crucial in dissecting complex existing systems and architecting scalable, API-first backend solutions. A key part of this role involves translating specialized business logic into robust and scalable PHP services and APIs.

Key Responsibilities
  • API and UI Development: Develop, test, and maintain features for a robust, scalable, and secure PHP-based RESTful API based on architectural designs. Design and implement a modern UI layer that interacts with these APIs.
  • Hands-On Coding: Write clean, high-quality, and maintainable PHP code, participating in code reviews to learn from and contribute to the team's best practices.
  • Problem Solving: Assist in analyzing the functionality of the legacy application to help translate its core business logic into modern code.
  • Collaboration: Work closely with your lead, other engineers, and QA to build and ship features in an agile environment.
  • Client Interaction: Participate in client discussions to help understand requirements and demonstrate progress on your work.
Requirements
  • 5+ years of professional software development experience, with a proven track record of backend-focused technical projects and hands-on contribution.
  • Deep expertise in modern backend PHP development, with specific, hands-on experience using frameworks like Laravel.
  • Demonstrable experience working with or integrating into Moodle environments or similar LMS platforms (or willingness to learn).
  • Extensive, hands-on experience designing, building, and deploying RESTful APIs. Strong understanding of API design principles and standards (e.g., OpenAPI/Swagger).
  • Solid experience with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server) and familiarity with basic database administration tasks.
  • A strong ability to perform System Deconstruction; digging into existing complex systems, understanding their inner workings, and reverse-engineering business logic.
Nice to Have
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP) and designing cloud-native backend applications.
  • Knowledge of containerization and orchestration technologies (Docker, Kubernetes).
  • Previous experience on a legacy system modernization project.
  • Familiarity with building and deploying applications in a SaaS environment.
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automated backend testing frameworks.
