Job description

Job Details

We are looking for a technically exceptional, hands‑on Senior Developer to join our engineering team. We are not looking for a manager; we need a true engineer—someone whose code demonstrates seniority through structure, efficiency, and clarity.

You will be architecting and building robust systems using PHP, Laravel, TypeScript, and MySQL. This role offers a Hybrid working structure, balancing focused remote work with onsite collaboration.

The Technical Standard

• Clean Code & Architecture: You don't just write code that works; you write code that lasts. You are deeply familiar with SOLID principles, Design Patterns, and Domain‑Driven Design (DDD).
• PHP & Laravel Mastery: You understand the framework deeply (Service Containers, Middleware, Events) but possess the discipline to keep business logic decoupled from the framework.
• Strong TypeScript: You leverage TypeScript to enforce strict typing, reducing runtime errors and creating maintainable frontend/backend logic.
• Database Performance: You are proficient in MySQL—capable of writing complex queries, analyzing execution plans, and optimizing indexes for scale.

Responsibilities

• Hands‑on Development: 80-90% of your time is spent designing, coding, and testing high‑performance features.
• Code Review: Rigorous code reviews are part of our culture. You will act as a gatekeeper for code quality.
• Refactoring: Proactively identify technical debt and refactor legacy code into modern, clean implementations.
• Hybrid Collaboration: Participate in onsite architectural planning sessions and sprint meetings [Insert Schedule, e.g., 2 days a week], while executing deep‑focus coding tasks remotely.

Requirements

• Experience: Minimum 4+ years of commercial development experience.
• Stack Proficiency: PHP (8+), Laravel, TypeScript, MySQL.
• Work Arrangement: Must be based in [Insert City] and available for the Hybrid schedule.
• Portfolio: A GitHub/GitLab profile is highly preferred to demonstrate your coding standards.

Why Join?

• Flexibility: Enjoy the balance of remote work and in‑person collaboration.
• Engineering Culture: Work in an environment that values quality over speed. We prioritize doing it right.
• Competitive salary and full‑time benefits.
