Seeking an experienced data-first PHP and Python developer with 7+ years of experience in CodeIgniter or Laravel platform expertise. The role will include net-new product development (hosted web apps). Beyond developing the core functional capabilities of a new product, you will also develop API integrations with other products and provide API access to AI models through a "best model" approach that executes AI tasks based on capability, anticipated token consumption, speed, and output quality. I also have a deep understanding of tagging strategies and practical experience developing schemas with non-technical staff as the engineering SME, working with the analyst (serving as lead of customer engagements).  Heavy focus on optimized DB engagement (query optimization), token consumption efficiency, speed, and scalability.
