• Team Leadership: Mentor and lead a small team of developers. Establish coding standards and best practices (e.g. code reviews, testing). Provide technical guidance and help solve complex problems.
• Collaboration: Work closely with non-technical stakeholders including executive management, administrative staff, and teachers as well as technical team and translate business requirements into technical solutions.
• Platform Operations: Manage day-to-day platform operations including account setups, credentials handling, third-party integrations, environment configuration, and ensuring platform stability, security, and documentation.
• Best Practices: Implement and enforce best practices in software development (version control, CI/CD pipelines, agile methodologies). Stay current with PHP frameworks (e.g. Laravel, Symfony) and emerging technologies.
• Project Oversight: Participate in all stages of the development lifecycle (requirements analysis, design, implementation, deployment). Track progress and communicate status and risks to management.
• Project management: Oversee task planning and execution in ClickUp, including task assignment, effort estimation, setting milestones, ensuring progress, managing deliverables, and ensuring timely project completion.

Required Qualifications & Skills

• Experience: 5–8 years of professional PHP development experience. Strong portfolio of PHP projects or products.
• Architecture & Design: Proven ability to architect scalable, high-performance web applications and systems. Experience applying design patterns and best practices for large codebases.
• Leadership: Experience leading or mentoring other developers, conducting code reviews, and driving team collaboration. Strong communication and organizational skills.
• Tools: Proficient with version control systems (Git), testing methodologies, and experience with build/deployment tools (Docker, Jenkins, etc.). Comfortable working in Linux environments and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or similar).
• Education & Thinking: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or related field (preferred) or equivalent practical experience. Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills. Self-motivated and able to work independently in a fast-paced environment.

• Advanced experience (beyond 8 years) or formal experience as a software architect or technical lead.
• Familiarity with modern DevOps practices (automated CI/CD pipelines, container orchestration).
• Experience with NoSQL/datastore technologies (Redis, MongoDB, Elasticsearch) or message brokers.
