• Working with CI/CD pipelines and AWS-based deployments
• Participating in sprint ceremonies, technical design and code reviews
• Troubleshooting performance and scalability issues in production

What They're Looking For

• Commercial PHP experience in a SaaS or product-based software company
• Strong Symfony experience (preferred over Laravel)
