• You possess deep expertise in the Laravel PHP framework, including its core components, architecture, and established best practices for building robust applications.

  SQL, including schema design and query optimization. If the database layer turns out to be the culprit behind an issue, it's not a black box to you.
• You love to write clean, maintainable, efficient and testable PHP code. Your code is easy for other programmers and your future self to understand and use.
• You have an understanding of algorithms and data structures beyond arrays and "for loops". That doesn't mean you have to be a computer science PhD or even that you have to know "Big O" notation, but you should know how to optimize each line of code.
• You have plenty of war stories to tell about the last time you launched a SaaS application, or weathered a massive spike in load, or recovered from an outage.

• Building authentic relationships comes naturally to you, you're a people person through and through.
• You're undaunted, excited even, at the idea of learning the ins and outs of truly complex things.
• You see feedback as a gift, not a threat, and you volunteer for challenges outside your comfort zone.
• You're great at turning chaos into order and love creating processes and solutions from the ground up, but aren't ignorant to the already available solutions that could be tweaked to achieve a similar or better result.
• You're well-organized, manage your time like a pro, and thrive in a remote work setup.
• You're driven and self-motivated, someone who moves things forward, follows through, and gets things done.
