Descripción del empleo

A Senior Backend Engineer with deep expertise in PHP web architectures and a strong interest in AI-augmented development workflows—specifically Vibe Coding, where engineers articulate functional requirements in natural language and leverage AI tools to generate production-ready code. This role is ideal for developers who write clean, performant code and know how to use AI tools as part of their daily toolkit—not just out of curiosity, but to deliver faster, smarter, and with higher quality.

Responsibilities and Requirements include:

• Bachelor's or Associate degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
• 5+ years of experience in backend development, with a strong proficiency in PHP.
• Experience with web frameworks such as Laravel.
• Familiarity with Vibe Coding concepts and tools.
• Proficient in database management and design, including both SQL and NoSQL databases.
• Strong understanding of RESTful API design and implementation.
• Hands-on experience using AI-based coding tools to write, refactor, document, or test code.
• Strong testing discipline (unit, integration, and E2E tests) and version control practices.
• Familiarity with containerization and cloud infrastructure.
• Comfortable in agile environments; able to take ownership, communicate clearly, and ship value continuously.

• Designing and implementing backend features and APIs that power modern web applications.
• Using AI tooling where appropriate to increase delivery speed, improve maintainability, and reduce boilerplate.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define product requirements and translate them into scalable backend solutions.
• Applying Vibe Coding principles: expressiveness, iteration, and AI-augmented problem-solving.
• Contributing to architectural decisions and promoting best practices in code structure and system design.
• Identifying opportunities to automate or enhance workflows through internal tooling or scripting.

Benefits include:

• 100% remote work.
• Salary in USD.
• PTO + National holidays.
• Excellent working environment.
