About this role
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:
• Large Laravel backend
• Next.js frontend
• PostgreSQL database
• Existing MongoDB components (currently being migrated)
• Multiple third-party API integrations
• Background jobs & queues
• Scheduled cron jobs
• Dockerized infrastructure
• CI/CD pipelines
• Cloud-based deployment
You'll work closely with our existing DevOps engineer to improve deployments, infrastructure, scalability, and application performance.
