Job description

Senior Full-Stack Developer PHP, Laravel & Vue.js

Location: Bangalore, India

Employment Type: Full-time

Work Arrangement: 100% on-site

Schedule: Night shift aligned with US business hours

Experience: 5+ years of professional software development experience

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are looking for an exceptional Senior Full-Stack Developer to build and improve business-critical applications used by our US teams and customers.

This is a hands-on engineering position for someone who can take complete ownership of a feature from understanding the business problem and recommending a technical solution to development, testing, deployment, and production support.

You will work directly with cross-functional colleagues in the United States, including product managers, operations teams, designers, quality assurance professionals, and business stakeholders. Our environment moves quickly, priorities can change, and developers are expected to make sound decisions without waiting for step-by-step instructions.

This is not a maintenance-only PHP position. We need an independent problem solver who writes reliable code, understands the full application stack, communicates clearly, and uses modern AI development tools to increase productivity without compromising quality or security.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Own assigned features and technical projects from requirements through production release.
• Translate business requirements into practical, maintainable technical solutions.
• Develop scalable backend applications and APIs using PHP and Laravel.
• Build responsive, reusable frontend functionality using Vue.js.
• Design, optimize, and troubleshoot MySQL databases and complex queries.
• Integrate internal systems, third-party services, and external APIs.
• Work directly with US-based product, operations, design, and engineering stakeholders.
• Break ambiguous requirements into clear development tasks and delivery plans.
• Identify technical risks, dependencies, and potential delays before they become blockers.
• Write clean, testable, secure, and maintainable code.
• Review code and provide constructive technical feedback to other developers.
• Diagnose and resolve production issues with urgency and sound judgment.
• Improve application performance, reliability, security, and developer workflows.
• Use AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, ChatGPT, and OpenAI responsibly to accelerate research, coding, debugging, testing, and documentation.
• Validate all AI-generated code before it is committed or released.
• Contribute to technical standards, documentation, and continuous improvement initiatives.

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

• At least 5 years of professional software development experience.
• Advanced, hands‑on expertise in PHP and the Laravel framework.
• Strong experience building modern user interfaces with Vue.js.
• Advanced knowledge of MySQL, including database design, indexing, query optimization, transactions, and troubleshooting.
• Experience developing and consuming REST APIs.
• Strong understanding of object‑oriented programming, MVC architecture, and common software design principles.
• Experience with Git-based development, pull requests, branching strategies, and code reviews.
• Ability to independently investigate problems and deliver solutions with limited supervision.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast‑paced development environment.
• Strong debugging and root‑cause analysis skills.
• Clear written and verbal English communication skills.
• Experience collaborating with product, design, quality assurance, operations, and other cross‑functional teams.
• Practical experience using AI-assisted development tools such as Cursor, ChatGPT, GitHub Copilot, or OpenAI-based tools.
• Ability to explain how AI-generated output is reviewed for correctness, security, maintainability, and licensing concerns.
• Willingness and ability to work a consistent night shift aligned with US teams.
• Willingness and ability to work 100% on‑site from our Bangalore office.

PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS

• Experience with Laravel queues, jobs, events, notifications, caching, and scheduled tasks.
• Experience with PHPUnit, Pest, or another automated testing framework.
• Familiarity with Docker, Linux environments, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud-hosted applications.
• Experience improving or modernizing an established PHP application.
• Knowledge of application security, authentication, authorization, and secure API development.
• Experience working directly with distributed or US-based teams.
• Experience monitoring and troubleshooting production applications.
• Ability to mentor developers through code reviews and technical guidance without requiring a formal management title.

The Person Who Will Succeed Here

You are likely to succeed in this role if you:

• Prefer ownership over waiting for detailed instructions.
• Can move quickly without producing careless or fragile work.
• Ask focused questions when requirements are unclear and then move forward.
• Communicate problems early instead of hiding delays.
• Remain effective when priorities change.
• Care about the business outcome, not only completing assigned tickets.
• Use AI to improve your speed and thinking rather than replacing your judgment.
• Are genuinely comfortable building your career around an on-site US-hours schedule.

Work Requirements

This is a full-time, 100% on-site role in Bangalore. Remote and hybrid arrangements are not available.

The position works a night shift aligned with US business hours. Candidates should apply only if they have carefully considered the schedule and can maintain it consistently over the long term.

Selection Process

Candidates should expect a rigorous selection process that may include:

• Recruiter screening focused on work arrangement, schedule, communication, and career expectations.
• PHP, Laravel, Vue.js, and MySQL technical assessment.
• Practical debugging or feature-development exercise.
• System-design and problem-solving interview.
• Cross-functional interview with US team members.
• Reference and employment verification.

We prioritize demonstrated ability, ownership, judgment, and execution over prestigious company names or educational credentials.
