Senior PHP Developer

We’re looking for a mid–senior level full-stack web developer who is strong in fundamentals, comfortable working on servers, and not afraid to learn new technology when the job demands it.

• Deploy, debug, and troubleshoot applications on VPS / cPanel / CWP
• Work with MySQL and PostgreSQL databases
• Use SSH and Linux commands comfortably for day-to-day work
• Collaborate directly with the dev lead and communicate progress clearly
• Use AI tools to speed up development, reduce grunt work, and ship faster
• Learn and adapt when new tools or technologies are required
