PHP Developer

Job Description

The University is in the middle of a major Student Information System (SIS) implementation targeted for the upcoming fall quarter. This is a high‑priority initiative with significant development activity leading into September. The PHP Developer will play a critical role in ensuring the existing business applications continue to function by remediating, reconnecting, and validating integrations as systems transition to the new SIS. This role is heavily backend‑focused and centered on PHP remediation work—repointing data sources, updating business logic where needed, and ensuring student‑ and staff‑facing applications remain reliable during and after the SIS cutover.
