Long-Term PHP API Developer

I’m building several web-based products and need an experienced PHP developer who can stay with me for the long haul. Your first assignment will be to design and code RESTful APIs, connect them to a structured SQL database, and wire in a handful of third-party services such as payment gateways, social media logins, or CRM tools as each product requires.

Here’s what I expect:

• Modern PHP (Laravel, Symfony, or plain PHP) with clean, well-documented code
• Secure, version-controlled REST endpoints that handle typical CRUD, authentication, and pagination needs
• Solid database architecture: tables, indexes, stored procedures, and migration scripts ready for MySQL or PostgreSQL
• Seamless third-party integrations, tested end-to-end and wrapped in fail-safe error handling
• Ongoing collaboration: concise daily updates, Git commits, and quick turnaround on code reviews
• Self-audits for functionalities and quality checks before handing over the development to us.

Important: • ABILITY TO USE COMMON SENSE in developments and NOT expecting to be spoon fed everything, being told each and every step to be done, or expecting clients to test and point out the issues in your developments.

If you’re comfortable configuring the API layer, collaborating on database design, and integrating external services while keeping an eye on performance and security, I’d love to start a conversation.
