• A proven track record building and scaling large distributed systems.
• Deep experience with PHP (including testing frameworks like PHPUnit) and backend architecture.
• Expertise in SQL databases (tuning, indexing, performance).
• Experience working on multi-tenant, high-traffic platforms.
• Strong systems thinking – you anticipate edge cases, failure modes, and scaling bottlenecks.
• A natural ability to lead initiatives, influence peers, and communicate across functions.
• A passion for reverse-engineering, refactoring, and evolving legacy systems.
• Hunger for learning and exploring new technologies.

• Experience with Node.js and testing frameworks like Jest.
