Partnering closely with Product, Finance, Revenue Operations, and CRM teams, your work will directly optimize operational workflows and elevate the experience of our global users.

Key Responsibilities

Architect backend services: Build and maintain high-performing backend services in PHP with clean domain boundaries, specifically managing billing and application management systems.
Craft responsive frontend user experiences: Design and implement polished, accessible user interfaces using React, TypeScript, and Node.js.
Ensure production reliability & test coverage: Safeguard core functionality by writing comprehensive end-to-end (E2E) automated tests and implementing robust logging, retries, and failure recovery.
Collaborate cross-functionally: Partner with Product Owners, Business Analysts, Finance, CRM, Revenue Operations, and Support teams to translate business needs into technical solutions.
Drive continuous improvement: Proactively challenge the status quo to elevate code quality, modernize legacy codebase components, and explore new engineering tools and frameworks.
Maintain system health & observability: Debug and troubleshoot issues in production environments, managing relational database schemas (SQL) and Git/CI/CD workflows.

Backend development depth: 3+ years of professional software engineering experience, with strong proficiency in backend PHP development and working with large-scale production codebases.
Database & API design skills: Solid grasp of SQL and relational databases, alongside hands-on experience designing, building, and consuming REST APIs and system-to-system integrations.
Modern frontend stack: Practical experience with TypeScript/JavaScript, Node.js, and modern frontend frameworks such as React.
