Requirements
- 3+ years of professional PHP experience

- Solid React experience (comfortable working full-stack)
- Experience working with complex or legacy systems
- Strong SQL skills (query optimization, indexing, performance tuning)
- Ability to work independently across frontend and backend
- Strong communication skills in English
- Timezone overlap with Australia is required
- High level of responsiveness and proactiveness
Benefits
