Description
As a Senior Laravel PHP Engineer at Econnex, you will be responsible for playing a key role in building, scaling, and optimizing the CAAS (Comparison as a Service) platform. Your expertise in microservices architecture and MySQL database design will be crucial in ensuring the delivery of high-performance, secure, and scalable applications. Here is a breakdown of your responsibilities and qualifications: **Key Responsibilities:** - Architect, develop, and maintain scalable backend services using Laravel (PHP 8+). - Build and integrate microservices to enhance modularity and performance. - Implement and optimize RESTful APIs / GraphQL for internal and external consumption. - Design and optimize complex MySQL schemas ensuring performance and scalability. - Implement caching strategies (Redis, Memcached) and query optimization. - Work on event-driven and asynchronous processing systems (e.g., queues, Kafka, RabbitMQ, SQS). - Collaborate on cloud-native deployments (AWS preferred) with containerized workloads (Docker, Kubernetes). - Ensure clean code practices, CI/CD pipelines, automated testing, and security best practices. - Conduct code reviews and mentor junior/mid-level engineers. - Work in an Agile/Scrum environment with close collaboration with product, DevOps, and QA teams. - Contribute to technical discussions, architectural decisions, and roadmap planning. **Qualifications Required:** - Strong experience in Laravel (PHP 8+) with microservices-based development. - Deep expertise in MySQL, query optimization, indexing, and database performance tuning. - Proficient in API design (REST/GraphQL). - Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins). - Familiar with TDD/BDD, PHPUnit/Pest. - Strong knowledge of design patterns, SOLID principles, and clean architecture. - Hands-on with AWS (ECS, EKS, S3, RDS, Lambda) or equivalent cloud platforms. - Containerization experience with Docker, Kubernetes. - Understanding of monitoring & observability tools (Prometheus, ELK, New Relic). **Additional Details:** You should have 7+ years of experience in backend development with PHP, at least 3+ years working with Laravel framework in production, 2+ years in designing/deploying microservices architectures and API Gateways, and a proven track record of scaling high-traffic applications. Exposure to NoSQL databases, message brokers, and frontend frameworks would be a plus.
