• Support the transition and documentation of the existing system from the outgoing developer
• Understand and support key business workflows, including order intake, artwork processing, customer approvals, printing, production, and dispatch
• Communicate technical issues and solutions clearly to non-technical stakeholders
• Provide practical recommendations on system improvements and development priorities

Requirements

• 4+ years of professional full stack development experience, with strong hands-on experience in PHP and Laravel
• Experience working with an existing codebase
• Good understanding of databases, APIs, and third-party integrations
• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills
• Ability to understand business processes and translate them into practical technical solutions
