• Hands-on experience with CodeIgniter 3 or 4
• Solid understanding of MySQL / MySQLi
• Experience designing and working with relational databases
• Knowledge of MVC architecture
• Experience with sessions, authentication, and authorization
• Ability to debug and optimize existing code
• Familiarity with Git and collaborative workflows

Nice to Have (Bonus Skills)

• Experience with multi-tenant or SaaS systems
• Knowledge of database migrations
• Frontend basics (HTML, CSS, Bootstrap or Tailwind)
• Experience working on ERP, CRM, or business systems
• Experience integrating APIs (payments, SMS, etc.)
• Familiarity with cPanel / shared hosting environments

What We’re Looking For

• Someone who understands why code is written a certain way
• Can follow existing architecture and improve it
• Pays attention to security and data integrity
• Communicates clearly and meets deadlines
• Comfortable switching between different projects

Screening / Interview Process

Shortlisted candidates may be asked to:

• Explain how they structure a CodeIgniter project
• Review or fix a small PHP/CodeIgniter code snippet
• Describe how they handle database design and security

Compensation

• Competitive, based on experience
• Contract or long-term collaboration
• Flexible working arrangement
• Opportunity to grow with ongoing projects

How to Apply

Please send:

1. A brief introduction about yourself
2. Your experience with PHP & CodeIgniter
3. Links to past projects or GitHub (if available)
4. Your availability and expected rate

Important Note

We are looking for developers who understand backend systems, not just UI work or copy-paste solutions.
