Web Developer III

As a Web Developer III, you will design, develop, and maintain dynamic websites and web applications using PHP frameworks such as WordPress, Symfony, and Laravel, deployed within a scalable, load-balanced cloud environment. Working closely with project managers, designers, and stakeholders, you will handle full-stack development while upholding code quality through testing, documentation, and version control.

PRINCIPAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Frontend Development: Implementing responsive, visually appealing user interfaces with HTML5, CSS, and JavaScript.
• Backend Development: Building server-side logic, database interactions, and secure authentication using primarily PHP frameworks — WordPress (custom themes and plugins), Symfony, Laravel and others as needed — with efficient data handling.
• AI-Assisted Development & Automation: Actively using approved AI tools to enhance and optimize development, productivity, code quality, and automation, while adhering to the Ministry's security, privacy, and data-handling standards and applying sound human review to all AI-generated output. Continuously identify opportunities to automate workflows and improve efficiency.
• Collaboration: Working closely with project managers, designers, developers, and stakeholders to understand requirements, manage scope, and deliver on schedule.
• Code Optimization: Writing clean, modular, and maintainable code while adhering to coding standards and best practices to optimize performance and scalability. Code should be written with a load-balanced, horizontally scalable cloud infrastructure in mind.
• Testing, Debugging & Code Review: Conducting thorough testing and debugging to identify and fix issues, ensuring the reliability and stability of web applications. Reviewing code changes for adherence to coding standards and potential bugs, providing constructive feedback that fosters a collaborative, supportive environment.
• Version Control: Using version control systems like Git to manage the codebase, track changes, and collaborate effectively with team members. This includes leveraging Git workflows, GitHub Actions for automation, secrets management for secure credential handling, and pull request rulesets to enforce code quality and review standards.
• Documentation: Documenting code, processes, and project updates to facilitate knowledge sharing, streamline collaboration, and ensure project transparency. Use of project management software for status tracking.
• Continuous Learning: Staying updated with the latest web development trends, technologies, and best practices to improve skills and continuously contribute innovative solutions to projects.
