• Leverage Perl, Python, or Lua for data processing and backend scripting tasks.
• Use Git for version control and collaborate with team members through agile workflows.
• Contribute to systems running on Apache and Linux, optimizing for performance and security.
• Analyze and troubleshoot application issues, and think outside the box to create innovative solutions.
  
  
  

Qualifications:

• You bring 3-5 years of hands-on experience with PHP, JavaScript, and MVC frameworks like CodeIgniter.
• You're fluent in SQL and have strong familiarity with relational database concepts.
• You've got practical experience with web servers (Apache) and operating systems (Linux).
• You can script with the best of them-whether it's bash, Python, or even Perl.
• You understand and have implemented responsive web design for real-world projects.
• You're curious and quick to learn-whether it's a new tech stack or a complex client need.
• You're an effective communicator, both written and verbal, and can work independently or as part of a team.
• You think like a developer and a problem-solver-focused on both the "how" and the "why".
