Job Title : Backend Web Developer – WordPress / Headless CMS / Laravel

Location : NOIDA

Employment Type : Full-time

About the Role Logi5 is looking for a versatile Backend Web Developer to lead the backend development of multiple upcoming websites — including marketing sites, campaign microsites, affiliate pages, and content platforms.

While many of our sites currently run on custom WordPress CMS with PHP , we’re open to modern frameworks such as Next.js with headless CMS (Strapi, Sanity, or even WordPress headless) , Laravel , or Node.js / Express — especially if they help accelerate development and improve long-term scalability.

You’ll work closely with our in-house designer to convert creative assets into fully functional, responsive, and high-performance websites — and we expect you to leverage AI tools (like GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, CodeWP, etc.) to boost speed and efficiency.

Key Responsibilities Develop, manage, and maintain backend systems for multiple websites using the most suitable stack (WordPress, Laravel, or headless CMS architecture)

Customize CMS functionality, build APIs, and manage backend logic

Optimize websites for speed, security, Core Web Vitals, and SEO performance

Build and connect dynamic modules (e.g., forms, calculators, affiliate tracking, landing page engines)

Use AI tools to generate code, automate routine tasks, and streamline development workflows

Deploy sites on staging and production servers, and manage hosting environments (cPanel, Cloudways, VPS, etc.)

Ensure clean, well-documented, and maintainable code

Collaborate closely with the design team to ensure seamless handoff and execution

Preferred Tech Stack Exposure Primary : PHP, WordPress (custom theme / plugin dev), MySQL

Preferred Modern Alternatives :

Next.js with headless CMS (e.g., Strapi, Sanity, Headless WP)

Laravel (for structured PHP-based apps beyond WordPress)

Node.js / Express (for lightweight custom APIs or backend logic)

Requirements 3–5 years of backend development experience across one or more of the above stacks

Strong experience building CMS-powered websites, campaign microsites, and backend systems

Solid grasp of REST APIs, database design, caching, and version control (Git)

Comfortable working solo on backend from start to finish (design handoff to deployment)

Familiarity with SEO-focused development and tracking implementation (UTMs, meta tags, GA, etc.)

Open to using AI tools for accelerating development — not just traditional methods

Strong debugging skills and ability to work across multiple projects simultaneously

Nice to Have Experience setting up CI / CD pipelines, Docker environments, or JAMstack sites

Understanding of tracking and monetization integration (e.g., affiliate scripts, tracking pixels)

Experience with serverless functions or cloud-hosted databases (e.g., Firebase, Supabase)

Exposure to affiliate marketing platforms, content publishers, or adtech microsites

What We Offer Full ownership of backend implementation across multiple web properties

A creative, design-first environment with flexible work structures

Freedom to choose the right stack — and evolve it over time

Encouragement to use AI tools and modern workflows to move fast

Potential to grow into a full-stack leadership or solutions architect role
