• Work confidently across the full stack, including backend (PHP 8.0+ with OOP skills, using frameworks like Symfony or Laravel) and frontend technologies (JavaScript, jQuery, React/Vue).
• Actively use Agentic Coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) to improve development workflows.
• Work with relational databases (MySQL and/or PostgreSQL) and in-memory storage/caching solutions (e.g., Redis, AWS ElastiCache).
• Understand the AWS ecosystem and basic DevOps practices.
• Apply knowledge of microservices, microfrontends, BFFs, and asynchronous communication systems (e.g., RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka, Amazon SQS).
• Think in terms of business and product impact, not only implementation.
• Demonstrate eagerness to learn and share knowledge with others.
• Show independence, ambition, and a strong ownership mindset.
• Thrive in small, fast-moving teams with frequent releases and quick iteration cycles.

Would be a plus

• Familiarity with Clean Architecture software design philosophy or DDD

• Flexible work format. Choose what works best for you — office, remote, or hybrid.
• Wellness in practice. Offline: workouts with professional trainers in our corporate gym, massage, corporate lunches, sports, and team activities — everything you need to recharge and reset together . Online:* regular online workouts, partner discounts, and free access to our products.
