Our client is a Payment Service Provider in Limassol, looking for a hands-on Full-Stack Tech Lead to take over the Statements System — a PHP-based web application currently backed by SQLite, with planned migration to PostgreSQL and deployment to AWS. This is a foundational role in a startup spun off from a successful fintech company.

Responsibilities:

  • Take full ownership of the Statements System (front-end, back-end, and DB).
  • Migrate from SQLite to PostgreSQL, ensuring data integrity and performance.
  • Refactor and maintain PHP-based APIs and web interfaces.
  • Deploy and manage the application in a cloud environment (AWS preferred).
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines, basic infrastructure-as-code, and monitoring.
  • Ensure security best practices across stack (web, DB, cloud).
  • Support minor business logic changes in the statement calculation engine.
  • Liaise with product and operations teams for ongoing improvements.

Requirements:

  • 5+ years experience in full-stack or backend development (strong PHP experience).
  • Strong experience with SQL databases (Postgres a strong plus).
  • Hands-on experience with cloud deployments, ideally on AWS.
  • Working knowledge of DevOps practices (containers, CI/CD, monitoring).
  • Comfortable working solo in a greenfield-to-mature transition project.
  • Basic frontend skills (HTML/CSS/JavaScript). Bootstrap framework knowledge – an advantage.
  • Strong communication and problem-solving skills.
  • Located in Cyprus

Working hours:

  • The working hours are 09:00 to 17:30, Monday – Friday (onsite but hybrid can be discussed if you are located outside Limassol)
