Role Overview :

As a Senior Moodle Developer, you will be instrumental in designing, developing, customizing, and maintaining our Moodle-based learning management systems. You will play a key role in extending Moodle's core functionality, integrating it with other critical systems, and ensuring optimal performance, security, and scalability. This role requires not only hands-on development expertise but also a strong understanding of Moodle's underlying structure to deliver high-quality, sustainable solutions.

Responsibilities :

• Performance Optimization : Proactively identify and resolve performance bottlenecks, optimize database queries (MySQL / PostgreSQL), implement caching strategies (e.g., Redis, Memcached), and ensure the scalability and reliability of Moodle instances.
• Troubleshooting & Support : Diagnose and resolve complex technical issues related to Moodle installations, configurations, integrations, and customizations. Provide technical support to internal teams and, at times, to clients.
• Security & Compliance : Ensure the Moodle system is secure, compliant with the latest security standards, and apply necessary patches and updates. Safeguard against common web vulnerabilities (XSS, CSRF, SQL injection).
• Code Review & Quality Assurance : Conduct thorough code reviews, adhere to coding guidelines, and ensure best practices in Moodle development. Contribute to automated and manual testing efforts (e.g., PHPUnit, Behat) to maintain high code quality.
• Documentation : Create and maintain comprehensive technical documentation for code, processes, and system configurations.
