Php Backend Developer Jobs in Ontario (NOW HIRING)

Senior Full Stack Developer - ERP & AI Systems

ITPS Canada Ltd. - London, Ontario

Build the system that runs a flight school.

ITPS is developing a Flight School Management System (FSMS) - a full-scale ERP platform that powers our training operations, flight and simulator scheduling, maintenance tracking, and procurement workflows.

This is not a typical web app. It's a mission-critical operational system used in a real-world aviation environment.

We're looking for a senior full stack developer who wants to take ownership of a complex system, shape its architecture, and help us integrate AI-driven capabilities into day-to-day operations.

What You'll Work On

You'll be building and evolving a multi-module ERP platform that includes:

• Flight & simulator scheduling (high-constraint, real-world logistics)
• Training and student progression tracking
• Maintenance planning and compliance workflows
• Procurement and operational support systems
• Cross-system integrations (financial, scheduling, communications)
  

You'll also help introduceAI-enabled features, such as:

• Intelligent scheduling assistance and conflict detection
• Automated report generation and data summarization
• Natural language interaction with operational data
• Workflow automation and decision support tools

Your Role

• Design and implement end-to-end features across the stack
• Architect scalable backend services and data models
• Build responsive, data-rich frontend interfaces
• Work directly with stakeholders (operations, maintenance, training) to translate real-world needs into software
• Own system quality: performance, reliability, and maintainability
• Contribute to technical direction, architecture, and tooling decisions
• Integrate AI capabilities into production workflows

Tech Stack

• Backend: PHP (Laravel)
• Frontend: React, JavaScript (ES6+), HTML, CSS
• Database: MySQL
• Tools: Git (Gitea / Perforce), FullCalendar
• Integrations: REST APIs, Microsoft Graph

What We're Looking For

Core Experience

• Strong experience building and shipping full stack applications in production
• Deep proficiency with:
  • PHP (Laravel)
  • React / modern JavaScript
  • Relational databases (MySQL or similar)
• Experience designing APIs and integrating external systems
• Ability to think in terms of systems, not just features

AI & Modern Development

• Experience integrating AI tools or APIs into applications (OpenAI, Claude, etc.)
• Comfort using AI-assisted development workflows
• Interest in applying AI to real operational problems (automation, decision support)

Mindset

• Product-minded: you care how the system is used, not just how it's built
• Strong ownership: you can take a problem from concept to production
• Comfortable working across domains and with non-technical stakeholders
• Pragmatic and adaptable in a growing system

Nice to Have

• Experience with ERP, scheduling, or operations platforms
• Experience with financial or procurement systems
• Familiarity with Linux / Bash
• Experience in aviation, aerospace, or safety-critical environments
• Exposure to Node.js or mobile development

Why This Role

• Real-world impact - your work directly supports flight operations and safety
• High ownership - influence architecture, product direction, and system design
• Complex problems - scheduling, logistics, and multi-domain workflows
• AI opportunity - help define how AI is applied in an operational environment
• Stable + meaningful domain - aviation training and operations

How to Apply

If you're interested, send us:

• Your resume
• A brief note on systems you've built or owned
• (Optional) Examples of AI integration or automation you've implemented

Final Note

We're not looking for someone to just execute tickets.

We're looking for someone who wants to build and own a system that matters.
