Full-Stack Developer (Laravel 12 / Vue 3)

Illuminos is an IT company focused on building fast, scalable, and thoughtfully designed SaaS products. We currently develop and maintain 5+ production applications with real users, real traffic, and clear engineering standards - primarily for the US market, but also globally. Our strongest domains are Fintech and AI.

We’re looking for a Full-Stack Developer (Laravel 12 / Vue 3) for a full-time role on-site in Mostar. This position is open to mid-level and senior profiles who enjoy ownership, high-quality engineering, and working on real production systems.

Tasks

• Build and maintain backend services in Laravel 12 (business logic, APIs, integrations)
• Build and maintain frontend features in Vue 3 (components, state, UX details, responsiveness)
• Connect frontend and backend via REST APIs (auth flows, validation, error handling)
• Contribute to architecture and codebase quality (clean code, modularity, maintainability)
• Improve performance where it matters (database queries, caching when appropriate, profiling)
• Collaborate with product and engineering to define and deliver features end-to-end
• Participate in code reviews and help maintain strong quality standards
• Propose improvements to systems and processes as the team grows

Requirements

• Professional experience in full-stack web development (mid-level or senior)
• Strong PHP skills and solid experience with Laravel
• Strong knowledge of Vue 3 (Composition API) and component-based thinking
• Solid understanding of HTML/CSS and UX fundamentals (not just “it works”)
• Experience integrating with REST APIs and common web flows (auth, forms, errors)
• Confident working with relational databases (e.g., MySQL/PostgreSQL) and basic query optimization
• Comfortable with a team workflow using Git + PRs + code reviews
• Willingness to work fully on-site in Mostar and collaborate closely with the team
• Strong problem-solving mindset and focus on quality and stability

Nice-to-have:

• Docker, CI/CD, and modern DevOps practices
• Redis / queues / background jobs (when relevant)
• Testing experience (PHPUnit/Pest, Cypress/Playwright/Vitest or similar)
• Experience working on SaaS products or higher-traffic systems
