About TapGo:
TapGo is a fast-growing UAE-based startup revolutionizing the restaurant industry. Our smart QR-based platform digitizes the entire dining experience — from interactive menus and ordering to payments and reviews — all without requiring customers to download an app or use any external hardware.
We’re looking for an experienced Senior Backend Developer to take ownership of our core server-side systems and infrastructure. If you're passionate about clean, scalable backend code and want to build something impactful, we’d love to talk.
Your Responsibilities:
• Lead the development and maintenance of our Laravel (PHP)-based backend infrastructure
• Build and optimize robust RESTful APIs that serve our Android application and web interfaces
• Design efficient database schemas and optimize queries using PostgreSQL
• Manage deployment and server operations via WHM/cPanel and Linux environments
• Monitor system performance, identify bottlenecks, and implement performance improvements
• Ensure platform security, maintain clean architecture, and write scalable, maintainable code
• Work closely with the founder and product team to translate business goals into technical solutions
What We’re Looking For:
• 5+ years of experience in backend or full-stack development
• Expert-level proficiency in Laravel (PHP) and PostgreSQL
• Solid understanding of REST API design and integration
• Familiarity with frontend frameworks like Vue.js or React (for admin panel integrations)
• Comfortable with Git workflows, Linux-based environments, and WHM/cPanel
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and proactive code ownership
• Bonus: Experience with SaaS platforms, food-tech, or restaurant-tech products
Why Join TapGo?
