Zend Framework and Laminas PHP Developer Jobs

Jobs requiring Zend skills seek PHP developers with experience in the Zend Framework, a powerful, component-based framework for building enterprise-level applications. Following its transition to open-source governance, the framework is now actively maintained as the Laminas Project, and roles often require knowledge of both its legacy and modern versions.

Developing with Laminas and Mezzio

Modern Zend/Laminas development involves working with the Laminas MVC framework, its components, and its PSR-15 middleware runtime, Mezzio. Responsibilities include building and maintaining complex web applications, designing scalable architectures with its modular components, and leveraging features like laminas-servicemanager for dependency injection and laminas-db for database abstraction.

Maintaining Legacy Zend Framework Applications

Many established companies have large, mission-critical applications built on earlier versions of Zend Framework (1, 2, or 3). Developers in these roles are responsible for maintaining this existing code, implementing new features, and potentially planning or executing a migration strategy to the newer Laminas Project components.

• Strong OOP and design pattern knowledge is essential.
• Experience with Composer for managing dependencies.
• Familiarity with PSR standards, particularly PSR-7, PSR-11, and PSR-15.
