DB Architecture & Optimization: Advanced MySQL expertise. You must be able to: Optimize slow queries using EXPLAIN plans and advanced indexing.

Write Atomic Stored Procedures to prevent race conditions during high-volume promotional schemes.
DevOps & Infrastructure:
· Docker: Proficiency in containerizing microservices and managing docker-compose.
Ubuntu OS: Expert-level command-line skills (SSH, CRON, and shell scripting).
· Automation: Hands-on experience with n8n or similar workflow engines to "gatekeep" and automate complex data pipelines.
· Frontend: Proficiency in at least one modern framework (Vue.js, React, or Angular).
· CMS: Advanced WordPress development (Custom REST API endpoints and theme/plugin architecture).
· Version Control: Mastery of Git and Bitbucket (Branching strategies, conflict resolution, and code reviews).
Role-appropriate compensation designed to attract and retain strong talent.
A workplace that values sustainable performance, practical support, and people-first decision-making.
Opportunities to build capability through real project exposure, cross-functional work, and expanding responsibility.
We value outcome-driven work and support practical flexibility based on role and business needs.
A culture that respects personal time, sustainable work rhythms, and recovery from intense delivery cycles.
Regular team interactions, internal celebrations, and collective milestones that reinforce culture as the company grows.
