Tasks
You own backend features end to end , from initial analysis through deployment and monitoring, including our partner-facing booking software (Backoffice)
You shape our architecture : you identify what is holding the product back, propose a direction, and then build it
You work across service boundaries, data models, queues, integrations, and performance, and you improve monitoring and address technical debt without being asked
You use AI tooling as a core part of how you work , including on parts of the stack outside your specialization
You think critically about requirements and identify edge cases early , drawing on your experience of what can go wrong in production
You actively collaborate with our tight-knit team of engineers, designer, and product lead in daily standups, planning, and technical discussions: asking questions when something is unclear, sharing blockers early, and contributing your perspective
Requirements
Several years of production backend experience, ideally with PHP/Laravel, and a track record of systems you built that other people still run
Strong opinions about architecture , backed by reasons and by having lived with the consequences of your past decisions
Solid experience with AWS services such as Lambda, SQS, EC2, ECS/Fargate, CloudFront, and Bedrock, and comfort owning what you ship in production
Real fluency with AI-assisted development . We use Claude Code day to day and can also offer Cursor. We want someone who already works this way and can push the rest of the team forward
A maker mindset and a can-do attitude : you would rather build the thing than write a document about building the thing
The confidence to challenge how things are done today , the respect to understand why they were done that way first, and the honesty to say when you do not know something
