someone who builds maintainable systems, reusable components, and strong foundations for the engineering team.\nIn this role, you will build robust APIs and services powering our core e-commerce experience and go beyond:\nYou will create reusable modules, enforce code quality standards, and help streamline development through automation and internal tooling.\n\nYou will apply software engineering excellence - clean code, modular architecture, CI/CD, observability - to everything you build.\n\nYou will think long term, building scalable, secure, and performant systems that reduce tech debt and increase team velocity.\n\nKey Responsibilities\nDesign and build backend services in Laravel - APIs, background workers, and event consumers that carry real production traffic.\n\nOwn services end to end: schema design, implementation, tests, deployment pipeline, dashboards, and on-call for what you ship.\n\nDesign and optimise relational schemas in MySQL,Postgresql, with attention to indexing, query performance, and migration safety at scale.\n\nModel DynamoDB tables around access patterns for the services where we use it, and know when a workload does not belong there.\n\nBuild integrations between our services and the platforms around them - Magento, NetSuite, Algolia, and our carrier and logistics systems - with sane retries, idempotency, and failure handling.\n\nUse SQS and event-driven patterns to decouple services and keep them resilient when a dependency degrades.\n\nApply Redis (ElastiCache) deliberately for caching and rate limiting, with clear invalidation rules rather than TTL guesswork.\n\nWrite clean, tested PHP, and build reusable modules and internal tooling that make the rest of the team faster.\n\nOwn CI/CD for your services and keep deployments boring and zero-downtime.\n\nWork fluently with AI-assisted development tools (Claude Code, Codex, and similar), and help improve the AI development workflows our engineering teams already run on.\n\nExperience\n5+ years building production backend systems, with deep Laravel and modern PHP experience.\n\nProven relational database skills - schema design, query optimisation, and safe migrations on MySQL or a MySQL-compatible engine.\n\nSolid AWS experience: RDS/Aurora, ElastiCache, SQS, DynamoDB, and the operational side of running services there.\n\nExperience with microservices, queues, and event-driven architecture - including the failure modes, not just the happy path.\n\nComfort with Docker, Linux, and CI/CD pipelines.\n\nExperience integrating with large third-party or legacy systems where you don't control the other side.\n\nWorking proficiency with AI-assisted development tools, and judgement about where they help and where they don't.\n\nFamiliarity with Jira and Confluence.\n\nNice to have - exposure to Magento 2 as an integration target, or experience migrating services off a monolith.\n\nWhat Success Looks Like\nFirst 30 days. You've shipped something real to production - not a starter ticket, a service or a feature with users behind it. You can draw how our Backend services and the systems around them actually fit together, including the parts that are ugly. Your code reviews have started catching things other people missed.\nBy 3 months. You own a service outright: schema, deploys, dashboards, and on-call. It has observability someone else can read at 2am and boundaries that are documented rather than tribal. Your code reviews are catching things other people missed, and you've made the case for fixing at least one thing that's architecturally wrong.\nBy six months. Other engineers are building on patterns you established, without being asked to. Incidents in your services are rarer, and the ones that happen are diagnosed in minutes instead of hours. Work that used to need three people coordinating now takes one - and the reason traces back to foundations you laid.\nWhy This Role Matters\nMumzworld is the largest e-commerce platform for parents and families in the region, and our backend carries every order, every catalogue update, and every stock and price change through it. As we scale and become an AI-native organisation, the constraint is not ideas - it is how quickly and safely we can build on top of what we already have.\nWe're not short of things we want to build. What decides how much of it actually ships is the state of the backend and services layer underneath. Clean boundaries and well-shaped schemas mean a new feature takes days and an incident is diagnosed in minutes. The alternative is every change needing three teams in a room and a rollback plan.\nA small number of engineers get to decide which of those we live with over the next few years. This is one of those roles.\nWho You Are\nWe’re looking for a builder: someone who engineers foundations that make others faster, safer, and more effective.\nSoftware Engineering Mindset - You build systems that are modular, observable, and maintainable - not throwaway scripts.\nPlatform Thinker - You don’t just solve a request; you build reusable solutions that scale across teams.\nPragmatic Problem Solver - You find the right balance between speed, maintainability, and performance.\nClear Communicator - You document your work, share your thinking, and collaborate effectively.\nIndependent and Impact-Driven - You proactively identify opportunities to automate, accelerate, and improve.\nTeam Player - You uplift others, share knowledge, and build a stronger data culture around you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5661,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Marketplaces","Baby Products"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-30T05:00:08Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":42,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.767,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":51,"expected_fill_days":37,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-05T05:54:30Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mumzworld-senior-software-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mumzworld-senior-software-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-06T00:13:24Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":439,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-07T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":48656},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=48656"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fmumzworld-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fmumzworld-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fmumzworld-senior-software-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/mumzworld-senior-software-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fmumzworld-senior-software-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3504023}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"mumzworld.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3504023},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
