• Implement serverless functions on AWS Lambda for scalable, event-driven features
• Ensure high performance and reliability through database optimization, caching, and asynchronous processing
• Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code using industry best practices
• Collaborate closely with frontend developers, designers, QA, PMs and stakeholders to deliver end-to-end solutions
• Review code, share feedback, and mentor junior and mid-level engineers
• Take ownership of development tasks, estimate workloads, and deliver on time
• Participate in client discussions when needed to provide technical input and recommendations
• Continuously explore new tools and techniques to improve development efficiency and solution quality

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of backend development experience, ideally with PHP/Laravel
• Strong proficiency with Laravel (including Blade, Eloquent ORM, queues, and ecosystem tools)
• Solid database skills (PostgreSQL) and familiarity with NoSQL solutions
• Experience customizing CraftCMS or similar enterprise-grade CMS platforms
• Hands-on experience with AWS, especially Lambda and related services
• Familiarity with Docker, GitHub, and CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions)
• Experience with testing and static analysis (PHPUnit, Pest, PHPStan, Laravel Pint)
• Ability to take ownership of backend features from concept to delivery
• Excellent problem-solving and communication skills, comfortable collaborating across teams
• Experience in traditional and agile environments, delivering solutions in fast-paced, multi-project contexts

Bonus Points

• Previous experience in mentoring peers or leading small feature teams
• Understanding of asynchronous processing, caching strategies, and high-traffic systems
• Strong awareness of application security best practices
• Background in digital agencies or multi-client environments
