• API & AI Integrations: Develop RESTful APIs and integrate external AI/LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain/Laravel AI packages) into core features where applicable.
• Testing & Security: Produce robust unit/feature tests (PHPUnit/Pest) while validating AI-generated code against security standards (OWASP) and best practices.

Required Qualifications & Experience

• Core Development: [2–5+] years of professional software development experience specializing in PHP and modern Laravel.
• AI-Tooling Proficiency: Demonstrated experience using AI coding assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code) in daily development workflows to speed up feature delivery.
• Engineering Fundamentals: Strong understanding of OOP, MVC patterns, SOLID principles, and clean architecture.
• Database & Tooling: Hands-on experience with MySQL/PostgreSQL, Composer package management, and Git.
• Code Verification: Ability to critically review, audit, and refactor AI-assisted code outputs to ensure maintainability and security.

Preferred (Nice-to-Have) Skills

• Experience building or consuming LLM-powered applications (vector databases, RAG architectures, prompt engineering).
• Experience with Laravel ecosystem tools (Livewire, Inertia, Forge, Vapor).
• Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and Docker containerization.
