- Strong full-stack development skills, including JavaScript/TypeScript, HTML5, CSS3, and modern frameworks (React, Svelte, or similar).
- Deep understanding of PHP across multiple versions, including legacy maintenance and modern development practices.
- Strong knowledge of software architecture principles (MVC, SOLID, design patterns, scalability).
- Experience with MySQL and relational database design and optimization.
- Familiarity with APIs, integrations, version control systems (Git), and CI/CD workflows.
- Strong analytical, debugging, and problem-solving skills with attention to detail.
- Excellent communication skills and ability to work independently with high ownership and discretion.
- Competitive salary range between approximately CAD 146,000 and 206,000.
- Fully remote work flexibility within Canada.
- Opportunity to work on high-scale systems with global reach and high traffic volumes.
