This is a hands-on individual contributor role for an experienced builder who thrives on solving ambiguous, high-leverage business problems and delivering scalable solutions with minimal oversight.
What you'll do:
- Proactively identify and investigate business-critical process issues and bottlenecks.
- Work independently to scope, design, and deliver scalable technical solutions.
- Act as a technical leader and force multiplier by building tools and systems that enable the business to scale efficiently.
- Collaborate deeply with the Product Manager to understand business needs, provide technical insights, prioritize key initiatives and enhance each other's thinking.
- Move fluidly between different problem domains based on the highest impact opportunities for the business.
- A seasoned engineer with a proven track record of tackling complex, high-impact technical challenges.
- An excellent communicator who can work effectively with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
- Self-sufficient and comfortable working with high-level direction rather than a detailed, pre-defined backlog.
- A systems thinker who can connect business problems to technical, scalable solutions.
- Backend Development: Deep expertise in modern backend development, with strong proficiency in PHP and its frameworks, especially Laravel. Experience with Python is also highly valued.
- Database Management: Strong command of SQL and extensive experience designing, optimizing, and maintaining relational databases (e.g., MySQL, PostgreSQL).
- Cloud Infrastructure: Hands-on experience building and deploying scalable solutions on cloud platforms, with a strong preference for Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
- System Architecture: Proven ability to design, build, and maintain robust, scalable systems. Experience with API design (REST, GraphQL), service-oriented architecture, and event-driven systems is a major plus.
- DevOps & Tooling: Familiarity with modern DevOps practices, including containerization (Docker), CI/CD pipelines, and infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform).
