Desenvolvedor Full Stack jobs in Brazil

We’re looking for a senior-level Full-Stack PHP Developer who thrives on solving real problems, takes full ownership of systems, and communicates clearly and thoroughly. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys digging into existing applications, understanding how they actually work, and improving them with pragmatic, well-reasoned solutions.

You’ll work on production SaaS systems built primarily on PHP 8 and CodeIgniter , spanning application logic, data modeling, and frontend integration. We value engineers who think end‑to‑end, explain their reasoning, and treat the product as if they own it.

Own application features and fixes from start to finish — from investigation and design through implementation and rollout

Deep‑ dive into existing PHP / CodeIgniter codebases to debug issues, improve reliability, and reduce technical debt

Design and implement new features with attention to maintainability, performance, and clarity

Collaborate closely with product and engineering peers, clearly explaining tradeoffs, risks, and decisions

Improve application architecture incrementally (schemas, services, controllers, APIs)

Participate in production issue triage and root‑cause analysis when needed

Proactively identify improvements rather than waiting for tickets

Strong experience with PHP 8 in production environments

Hands‑on experience with CodeIgniter (or deep familiarity with similar MVC PHP frameworks)

Solid background in LAMP‑style stacks (Linux, MySQL / MariaDB, PHP, Apache / Nginx)

Experience building and consuming RESTful APIs

Comfortable working across backend and frontend boundaries

Working knowledge of JavaScript, AJAX, and modern browser behavior

Strong SQL skills and experience designing / debugging relational schemas

Familiarity with Redis, Elasticsearch, or similar data stores

Exposure to CI / CD pipelines, basic DevOps workflows, or cloud hosting (AWS / GCP / etc.)

Experience modernizing legacy PHP applications

Familiarity with containerized or service‑oriented deployments

Ownership mentality — you don’t just “complete tasks,” you take responsibility for outcomes

Problem‑solving depth — you like understanding why something broke, not just patching it

Verbose, clear communication — you explain your thinking, document decisions, and surface risks early

Comfort working independently without constant oversight

Strong judgment when balancing speed vs. correctness

5+ years professional experience building and maintaining PHP applications

Proven track record working in real production systems (not just greenfield demos)

Results‑focused culture : outcomes matter more than hours

Remote‑friendly, globally distributed team

High trust, low micromanagement

Direct access to decision‑makers and real influence over technical direction

Real systems, real users, real problems

Autonomy to improve code and architecture meaningfully

Opportunity to be a true owner, not a ticket‑taker

Competitive compensation with room for growth
