Experience designing and implementing REST APIs, OpenAPI specifications, and third-party integrations. Experience with authentication and authorization, including policies, roles, permissions, and token-based access. Experience with queues, jobs, events, scheduling, Redis, Horizon or comparable asynchronous-processing tooling. Experience with caching, backend performance tuning, production debugging, and operational support. Strong automated-testing practice using PHPUnit, Pest, or similar feature and unit testing frameworks. Proven system-design and architecture experience, including production decision-making and technical leadership. Practical experience using AI-assisted engineering tools as part of a responsible development workflow. Git and CI/CD experience. You may also have: Geospatial experience, including PostGIS or QGIS. Experience with IoT products or systems where hardware, software, and networking intersect. Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript experience. Docker, Kubernetes (K8s), or cloud-native operational experience. Experience with event-driven systems, distributed integrations, or high-volume data processing. Common soft-skill requirements: Clear written and verbal communication. Ownership and sound judgment in driving technical and quality outcomes. Ability to make and explain pragmatic architecture and production decisions. Proactive collaboration across teams. A mentoring mindset and constructive approach to technical leadership.
