The Platform & Engineering Culture
Zifup has built a solid visitor base over the years and is now pivoting into something groundbreaking. We are planning to launch a product that will compete with some of the biggest names in the industry (further details to be disclosed upon signing an NDA). Because Zifup is in a high-growth, evolving phase, this is a massive opportunity for hands-on engineering. You will be making core architectural decisions, adding life to our product, and ensuring a seamless user experience.
We operate a lean, highly technical engineering team without bureaucratic red tape. We value output, pragmatic problem-solving, and clean code over micromanagement.
A Day in the Life
As a PHP Developer for the Zifup project, you will be instrumental in building and maintaining the backend systems that power our applications. A typical day might involve:
• Architecting and scaling robust APIs and backend services using clean, modular PHP.
• Diving deep into MySQL to dissect slow-running queries,
restructure tables, and implement advanced indexing strategies.
• Managing server infrastructure, configuring DNS, monitoring server logs, and setting up CRON jobs on a LAMP stack.
• Exploring cutting-edge integrations, such as bridging our backend data processing with Large Language Models (LLMs) to make our services smarter.
Key Responsibilities
• Write clean, secure, test-driven, easily maintainable, and modular code.
• Develop and maintain cutting-edge web applications using PHP, integrating seamlessly with front-end applications.
• Troubleshoot and debug applications to ensure the security and scalability of our services.
• Evaluate project requirements and provide technical solutions.
• Produce and maintain clear software documentation.
• Stay abreast of recent trends and best practices in web development.
