- Testing & Quality: Implement TDD (Unit and Integration) to protect our core revenue Streams
Requirements
Do you have experience in Vue.js?, * 5-8 years of Development experience
- Essential: Strong proficiency in PHP 8+ / Laravel, MySQL, and Docker.
- Experience: Proven track record in Microservices and Event-Driven Design.
