Full-Time | Hybrid | Intermediate Level

Solve performance, scalability, and architectural challenges

Develop and optimize backend services and database-driven functionality

Work with MySQL/MariaDB in a Linux environment

Integrate backend functionality with modern front-end applications

Refactor and improve existing code for performance and maintainability

Participate in code reviews, testing, CI/CD, and technical design

Use modern AI-assisted development tools as part of the engineering workflow

What We’re Looking For

Strong professional PHP development experience

Laravel experience

MySQL or MariaDB

Linux

Git/version control

Strong software engineering fundamentals

Ability to communicate technical concepts clearly

Experience with Agile, automated testing, CI/CD, Jira, and the full SDLC is a plus.

Why It's Worth a Look

Beyond interesting engineering work, the company offers 100% employee-paid health and dental coverage, 401(k) match, professional development and tuition reimbursement, paid parental leave.

If you’re a PHP/Laravel engineer looking for a role where you can build, optimize, solve real technical problems, and have a voice in how software evolves, we’d like to talk.
