Job Description

We're looking for a Senior Engineer who takes pride in building reliable, well-crafted software at every layer. From a carefully modeled Eloquent relationship to a UI that makes complex infrastructure feel simple.

We make software development enjoyable, batteries-included, and productive. Laravel Cloud is a fully-managed PaaS trusted by thousands of developers and teams to ship and scale Laravel applications in production. You'd be joining a small, senior team that cares as much about how code is written as what it ships.

This is a role for someone who is deeply at home in PHP and Laravel, has strong instincts for backend architecture, and can cross the stack to ship a polished Inertia + React interface when the feature calls for it.

Location: Between EU West and US East for optimal collaboration with the team.

What You'll Do

  • Design and build full-stack features across the Laravel Cloud platform — from database schema and Eloquent models through to Inertia-powered React UIs.
  • Architect clean, testable Laravel backends: Actions, Form Requests, queued jobs, event broadcasting, and multi-tenant API endpoints.
  • Work across a rich domain: applications, environments, deployments, databases, caches, filesystems, networking, DNS zones and observability.
  • Write comprehensive Pest tests for every feature — happy paths, failure modes, and edge cases — and hold the codebase to a high standard of coverage and type safety.
  • Contribute polished frontend work using React and Inertia.js — dashboards, resource UIs, real-time data, and complex form flows.
  • Uphold engineering standards: PHPStan/Larastan static analysis, 100% type coverage, Pint/Rector formatting, ESLint.
  • Collaborate with product and design to ship work that's both technically sound and feels great to use.

Job Requirements

  • 5+ years of experience building production applications with Laravel and PHP — you have deep framework knowledge and strong opinions about how to structure backend code.
  • Solid understanding of Eloquent, query optimization, database design, and preventing N+1 problems at scale.
  • Experience designing and building reliable background job pipelines, event-driven processes, and queued tasks in Laravel.
  • Comfort building clean RESTful or JSON:API-compliant APIs — including auth, rate limiting, multi-tenancy, and versioning concerns.
  • Strong React skills — you can build interactive, accessible, and performant UIs with hooks, real-time data, and solid component structure.
  • Experience with Inertia.js or similar hybrid SPA patterns.
  • Proficiency with modern frontend tooling (Vite, Tailwind CSS).
  • A testing mindset — you reach for Pest naturally, treat tests as first-class code, and care about coverage and type safety.
  • Strong communication skills — you write clearly, give useful code reviews, and collaborate well in an async remote team.
  • Bonus Skills
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure concepts: DNS, TLS, containers, deployments, or managed databases.
  • Real-time web experience: WebSockets, Laravel Echo, event broadcasting.
  • Contributions to open source in the Laravel ecosystem.
  • Familiarity with PHPStan at a high enforcement level.
  • Why You'll Love Working Here
  • Work on a product developers and teams depend on every day — your work has real and immediate impact.
  • Join a small, senior team with high ownership, strong product taste, and no tolerance for accidental complexity.
  • Build with modern, well-maintained tools: PHP 8.4, Laravel 12, React 19, Tailwind CSS v4 — no legacy baggage.
  • Remote-first with flexibility and trust.
  • If you love Laravel, care about well-crafted backends, and want to help build the platform that makes deploying PHP applications effortless — we'd love to hear from you.

Benefits

  • Small tight-knit team where every developer counts
  • Fully remote and globally distributed working environment
  • Option to attend Laracon conferences around the world
  • Health care plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
  • Paid time off (Vacation, Sick & Public holidays)
  • Family leave (Maternity, Paternity)
  • Pension plans (As locally applicable)
  • Performance based bonus plan
  • Company equity
