About the role

We'relooking for a full-stack developer who owns features end to end, from database design and APIs to the React/Vue interface users actually touch. You'llbuild and scale the applications behind our events and media business, working closely with product, design, and QA to turn requirements into reliable, well-tested software. We want someone who understands why a feature matters, questions unclear requirements early, and cares about maintainability as much as delivery. If you enjoy owning the whole stack and making good technical decisions, we want to hear from you.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintainscalable, full-stack web applications with Laravel on the back end and React/Vue on the front end

• Contribute to architecture decisions for applications built to scale: service design, data modeling, caching, and queue-based processing

• Design and build RESTful APIs and integrations with internal and third-party systems

• Develop reusable Laravel packages and front-end components shared across projects

• Own quality and performance: refactor legacy code, optimize queries, and improve response times

• Write automated tests and take part in code reviews and CI/CD improvements

• Document technical decisions, APIs, and specifications

• Work with product, design, and other engineering teams to scope and deliver features

Requirements:

• 5+ years of professional experience with modern OOP PHP (8.x), including 3+ years with Laravel

• Strong knowledge of the Laravel ecosystem: Eloquent, queues and jobs, events, service container, middleware, and authentication (Sanctum or Passport)

• 3+ years of production experience with React or Vue and TypeScript

• Experience designing RESTful APIs, including versioning, validation, authentication, and error handling

• Solid SQL skills (MySQL or PostgreSQL): schema design, indexing, and query optimization

• Experience with caching and queues (Redis, RabbitMQ)

• Hands-on automated testing: PHPUnitor Pest, plus front-end tests (Vitest, Jest, or Playwright)

• Comfortable with Git-based workflows, pull requests, and CI/CD pipelines

• Comfortable working in an AI-assisted workflow (e.g.Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor), with the judgment to review, verify, and take ownership of generated code

• Good written and spoken English

Nice to have

• Inertia.js, Livewire, or Next.js/Nuxt

• Tailwind CSS

• Docker and cloud infrastructure (AWS, Forge, Vapor)

• Static analysis (PHPStan/Larastan) and code style tooling (Pint)

• Real-time features (Reverb, WebSockets)

• Experience with event platforms, ticketing, or payment integrations (Stripe)
