I am assuming it would just be REST apis and micro services right? Won't be much different from building any other backend. Is my assumption correct or does the hosting platform backend work any differently? I was told they serve billion request daily, but I doubt the control planes api would be handling such scale daily.

I mean if I take up this job my next job would not be in the same domain. I don't have much interest in webdev, but this role also provides the infra exposure so I thought of interviewing.

Also wouldn't using Java or Golang make more sense here if the scale is such?

PHP 8.1 and symfony.

I am just 28. I am not looking for stability currently also webdev does not interest me, I am backend dev. Also I already have well paying job. Most PHP jobs are not that good paying and this will be one time PHP thing, if I take up the job. Just concerned how it would look on resume.

Haha, they are rich but they acquired this small company. I don't know what they were thinking while building backend in PHP, from the looks of it, majority of their devs are proficient in that only.

Its not managed hosting platform backend but its for customer's Wordpress site. So you never know. I am bit concerned about that part only.

There are building a managed wordpress hosting platform. It will be around building restapi for control plane and bit of hosting infra work.
