You should be comfortable in an environment where the goal is a functional prototype running in production by the end of the day. - AI-Native Workflow: You will use Cursor and Claude.ai http://Claude.ai (including Claude Code) to handle the heavy lifting of code generation. Your focus stays on high-level architecture while the agents manage the implementation. - Architectural Evolution: You will lead the incremental change of our PHP monolith into scalable, event-driven microservices. You design systems resilient enough to handle the pace o
