Basecamp

PHP developer jobs that list Basecamp as a skill require experience integrating applications with the Basecamp project management platform or proficiency in using it for team collaboration.

Basecamp API Integration

A primary responsibility in these roles is to connect PHP applications to the Basecamp API. This involves developing features that automate project management workflows, such as creating projects, assigning to-dos, or uploading files directly from your application. Developers work with RESTful APIs, handle OAuth2 for authentication, and parse JSON data payloads. Proficiency with HTTP clients like Guzzle is essential for making API requests.

Skills and Responsibilities

Beyond API work, the tag can also signify that the development team uses Basecamp for its internal project management. In this context, the developer must be adept at working within an agile environment, tracking tasks, and communicating progress effectively through the platform. Essential skills include:

• Strong knowledge of PHP and object-oriented programming.
• Experience with RESTful APIs and JSON.
• Familiarity with project management tools and agile methodologies.
