Description

Are you a Junior Web Developer who can move seamlessly between frontend details and backend architecture? VKM Digital is looking for a proactive, experienced developer capable of delivering scalable, production-level applications. If you're comfortable building complex PHP-based applications from scratch — with or without frameworks like Laravel — and love creating clean, elegant, and optimized code, this role is for you.

At VKM Digital, we develop custom digital solutions from the ground up. Whether it’s a CMS project, a Laravel-powered system, or a raw PHP build, we expect our developers to bring clarity and craftsmanship to every line of code. We’re looking for someone who understands how to navigate both framework-driven and standalone PHP applications — especially complex, object-oriented projects.

You should be comfortable taking full ownership of a project, from database modeling to frontend interactivity — and everything in between. Collaboration is important, but you must also be able to work independently and lead a project from scratch.

We value developers who understand SOLID principles, can write reusable components, and have a clear grasp of clean architecture. You should be able to take vague requirements and shape them into production-ready solutions with minimal supervision. Mastery of both raw PHP and frameworks like Laravel, as well as full proficiency in WordPress development (themes, plugins, optimization), is expected.

If you’re excited by the idea of contributing to products that blend media, analytics, and advertising tech — and you want to shape scalable tools from scratch — then you’ll thrive here.

Let’s build what’s next—together.
