[Full-stack development](https://jobicy.com/jobs?search_keywords=Full-stack%20development.md)[PHP](https://jobicy.com/jobs?search_keywords=PHP.md)[Laravel](https://jobicy.com/jobs?search_keywords=Laravel.md)[React](https://jobicy.com/jobs?search_keywords=React.md)[Next.js](https://jobicy.com/jobs?search_keywords=Next.js.md)[JavaScript](https://jobicy.com/jobs?search_keywords=JavaScript.md)[SQL](https://jobicy.com/jobs?search_keywords=SQL.md)[MySQL](https://jobicy.com/jobs?search_keywords=MySQL.md)[Redis](https://jobicy.com/jobs?search_keywords=Redis.md)[API design](https://jobicy.com/jobs?search_keywords=API%20design.md) Sample interview questionsDescribe a full-stack feature you owned from initial design through production deployment and monitoring.I would explain the customer problem, architecture, frontend and backend implementation, data-model changes, testing strategy, deployment process, and the production metrics or feedback used to refine the feature. I would also highlight trade-offs, risks, and measurable outcomes. How would you optimize a slow SQL query used by a high-traffic application endpoint? I would first reproduce and measure the issue using query profiling and execution plans. I would examine indexes, joins, filters, selected columns, and query volume; then make targeted changes such as appropriate composite indexes, query rewrites, pagination, caching, or schema adjustments, validating performance and correctness before release. What approach would you take to modernize a legacy PHP application while continuing to deliver product features? I would use an incremental strategy: identify high-value or high-risk seams, protect behavior with tests and observability, and replace or isolate components behind stable interfaces. I would prioritize changes that reduce operational risk and developer friction, avoid unnecessary rewrites, and deliver modernization in small, reversible releases. How do you ensure API and database changes remain secure when handling privacy-sensitive healthcare-related data? I apply least privilege, strong authentication and authorization, input validation, parameterized queries, encryption in transit and at rest where applicable, careful logging that avoids sensitive data, and security-focused code review. I also assess data retention, auditability, dependency risk, and threat scenarios before deployment. How do you use AI-assisted development tools while maintaining engineering accountability? I use them to accelerate repetitive tasks, investigate options, and draft tests or documentation, but I verify all outputs against system requirements and security standards. I remain responsible for architecture, code quality, privacy implications, testing, and review, and I do not expose sensitive information to unapproved tools. ### Who are we and why should you join us?
