  • Proven expertise with cloud platforms such as AWS, DigitalOcean, or similar.
  • Proficient in managing MySQL, Redis, NGINX, and Apache.
  • Solid understanding of Git, CI/CD pipelines, and automated testing frameworks.
  • Deep knowledge of security best practices, especially in fintech or high-compliance environments.
  • Excellent communication, problem-solving, and team management abilities.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience working with payment gateways, financial APIs, or banking integrations.
  • Familiarity with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
  • Knowledge of advanced Laravel packages such as Passport, Sanctum, Horizon, or Telescope.
  • Exposure to compliance frameworks like PCI-DSS or equivalent security standards.
