PHP Developer (WooCommerce, Laravel)
About the Role
We're looking for a PHP Developer / Technical Engineer who doesn't just write code — someone who understands the systems behind it, enjoys untangling technical problems, and takes real ownership of what they build. This isn't a narrow "ticket-closer" role — it's a hybrid position for someone who's equally comfortable deep in a WooCommerce plugin, debugging a payment webhook, or helping shape a Laravel CRM's roadmap.
We're hiring on behalf of a well-established, globally operating fintech company looking for someone to join their growing technical team. You'll work across both new and existing projects, contributing to a WooCommerce ecosystem and a Laravel-based CRM — with real input into how things get built, not just how they get maintained.
What You'll Do
Development & Integration
Develop and maintain custom WordPress/WooCommerce plugins
Integrate payment providers, APIs, and webhooks
Support and improve the Laravel CRM
Use AI coding tools where helpful — but you review, test, and take full responsibility for the resulting code
Infrastructure & Troubleshooting
Troubleshoot application, integration, network, and server issues
Assist with deployments and AWS/VPS maintenance
Dig into problems others might avoid — you don't wait for someone else to figure it out
Ownership & Process
Take responsibility for the code you ship, whether you wrote it or reviewed it
Flag technical debt, risks, or inefficiencies proactively, even outside your immediate scope
Contribute to technical decisions, not just execution — you're expected to have opinions and back them up
Who You Are
You have solid PHP and OOP fundamentals, with real experience in WordPress and WooCommerce
You're comfortable with MySQL, Git, REST APIs, and webhooks — not just in theory, but in production
You have working knowledge of Linux, HTTP, DNS, SSL/TLS, and basic web security practices
You're a strong debugger — you enjoy the process of finding out why something broke, not just patching it
You communicate clearly in English (B2+) — technical discussions shouldn't get lost in translation
You're proactive by default — you'd rather investigate and propose a fix than wait to be told what to do
You take high ownership: you treat production code as if your name is on it, because it is
You're motivated by solving real problems well, not just by ticking off tasks
You're comfortable using AI tools to move faster, but you never outsource your judgment — you review and own everything that ships
Nice to Have
AWS experience
Docker, CI/CD pipelines
Prior experience developing WooCommerce plugins from scratch
Why This Role
This is a role for someone who wants to build something real, not just maintain what already exists. You'll work on systems that power an international fintech business — where uptime, security, and correctness actually matter. If you're the kind of engineer who can't help but investigate a weird bug even when no one's watching, or who pushes back when something feels architecturally wrong — this is your role.
