Senior Software Engineer (Laravel | Next.js | PostgreSQL)

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our engineering team and work on a large-scale production application.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys solving complex technical challenges, working on modern technologies, and taking ownership of products used by real users.

You'll be joining an existing engineering team to help accelerate the development of one of our flagship products.

The application is already in production and includes:

• Existing MongoDB components (currently being migrated)

You'll work closely with our existing DevOps engineer to improve deployments, infrastructure, scalability, and application performance.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys understanding complex systems and improving them rather than simply building small applications from scratch.

• Develop new features for an enterprise-scale web application.
• Understand and work within an existing production codebase.
• Build and maintain Laravel APIs and backend services.
• Develop frontend features using Next.js and React.
• Complete the migration from MongoDB to PostgreSQL.
• Optimize PostgreSQL queries and database performance.
• Integrate and maintain third-party APIs.
• Manage cron jobs, queues, scheduled tasks, and background workers.
• Collaborate with the DevOps engineer on deployments, CI/CD, and infrastructure improvements.
• Troubleshoot production issues and implement long-term solutions.
• Optimize application performance, scalability, and security.
• Participate in architecture discussions and code reviews.

• Minimum 5 years of professional software development experience.

• Strong experience with Next.js and React.js.

• Experience building and consuming REST APIs.

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills.
• Experience working on production applications.
• Ability to quickly understand large codebases.
• Good communication and teamwork skills.

You'll work on meaningful products, not repetitive maintenance projects.

• Collaborate with experienced engineers.

• Enjoy a professional and collaborative office environment.
