  • Experience building catalog systems for e-commerce or marketplaces, including taxonomy design, variant and attribute modeling, and product feed ecosystems.
  • PHP/Laravel and MySQL experience preferred.
  • Multi-tenant SaaS experience preferred, including tenant isolation, per-tenant limits, and noisy-neighbor mitigation.
