What you will do
- Own architecture and delivery for 1–2 concurrent client applications
- Write the parts that carry risk — auth, payments, integrations, data migration
- Set and hold the code review standard
- Sit in client calls and translate business problems into technical scope
- Mentor mid-level developers through review, not lectures
- Own production: monitoring, incidents, the fix
What we are looking for
- 4+ years of production Laravel, including at least one application you took from empty repository to live
- Fluent SQL and comfortable with query performance under real load
- Queues, caching and background processing as routine, not research
- You've integrated a payment gateway and know where it goes wrong
- You can explain a technical trade-off to a non-technical client without condescending
- You push back on a bad requirement before you build it
Nice to have
- Vue or Inertia
- AWS and infrastructure-as-code
- Multi-tenant applications
These are genuinely optional. If you meet most of the core requirements and none of these, we would still like to hear from you.
How we interview
- Intro call, 30 minutes — the role, your questions, what you want next.
- Practical exercise, around 2 hours, done in your own time and paid.
- Technical or craft conversation, 60 minutes — we walk through your exercise together.
- Offer within 3 working days of the last conversation.
We reply to every application, including the ones we decline.
