  • Follow PCI-DSS security best practices and ensure proper data handling and encryption in compliance with regulations.

  • Produce clear technical documentation for APIs, flows, and deployment practices.

  • Write clean, well-structured PHP code following SOLID and OOP principles, and ensure thorough test coverage using PHPUnit.

  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to drive discussions around technical best practices and identify the most effective technical solutions.

All About You: 

  • 3+ years of PHP development experience, preferably with Laravel.

  • Strong experience with PostgreSQL and relational database design.

  • Proficiency in Linux-based development environments and CLI tools.

  • Solid knowledge and hands-on development of credit card payment gateways, including direct API integration.

  • Proven experience with Apple Pay and Google Pay integrations.

  • Demonstrated expertise in recurring billing integration and subscription management flows.

  • Understanding of asynchronous programming, with ability to handle its quirks, including non-blocking I/O, job queues, and workarounds in PHP-based environments.

  • Familiarity with REST, JSON, SOAP, and XML protocols for third-party API integration.

  • Experience with unit testing, CI/CD, and Git-based version control (GitLab).

Bonus Points

  • Exposure to PCI-DSS audits or compliance implementation.

  • Experience working with fraud prevention tools or risk engines.

  • Knowledge of dispute management and chargeback mitigation tools such as TC40, Ethoca, and Verifi.
