Join our team as a Senior Backend Engineer where you will lead the evolution of our global platform with more then 20 million users. We value deep technical mastery, a mentor mindset, and the ability to balance rapid innovation with system stability.

  • Actively coach mid-level engineers through deep code reviews and technical knowledge sharing
  • Identify bottlenecks in services and implement advanced caching and database strategies
  • Partner with Product and DevOps to translate complex requirements into scalable technical roadmaps

Requirements:

  • 7+ years of professional backend development experience with a deep mastery of PHP
  • 4+ years of building enterprise-grade applications in Laravel or an equivalent senior background in Symfony
  • Mastery of distributed systems, event-driven architecture, and messaging patterns like SQS or Pub/Sub
  • Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL including performance tuning and handling transactions at scale
  • Experience architecting on AWS and managing containerized environments with Docker
  • A champion of clean code, automated testing, and CI/CD best practices
  • Fluent English with the ability to explain complex technical trade-offs to stakeholders

Nice to have:

  • Experience with SaaS/PaaS, SOA, or microservices architecture
  • Experience with eSIM, or GSMA technologies
  • Familiarity with Traveltech solutions
  • Experience in building or maintaining custom SDKs would be a plus
What we offer:
  • Health Insurance
  • work-from-anywhere stipend
  • annual wellness & learning credits
  • annual all-expenses-paid company retreat in a gorgeous destination
  • Paid on-call rotation (standby fees + overtime pay)
  • Delayed on-call start for first 6 months
  • Guaranteed rest periods and flexible hours following night incidents
