Senior Laravel Backend Engineer (PHP / Laravel / MongoDB / Redis / RabbitMQ)

I’m looking for a Senior Backend Developer (Laravel) to join our team and help us level up a high-volume, real-time transactional platform built on a multi-service architecture.

We’re running a system split into multiple services/APIs , with real-time updates and heavy wallet / transaction logic. It’s not a simple CRUD app – we need someone who can think, design, and make decisions, not just write code.

Tech Environment You’ll Be Working In

Core stack (PHP/Laravel side):

Laravel (PHP) as the main backend framework

MongoDB as the primary database (shared across multiple services)

Redis (shared cache + per-project cache)

RabbitMQ as a message broker

Nginx as web server

Cron + Supervisor for scheduled jobs & workers

What You’ll Do

Own and design backend features in Laravel from idea → architecture → implementation → deployment

Work on transactional & wallet-related logic with a strong focus on data consistency and integrity

Design and optimize inter-service communication (HTTP + RabbitMQ)

Improve and maintain caching layers (Redis) and real-time flows (Reverb websockets / Go websockets)

Collaborate on DB modeling and performance, especially in MongoDB and ClickHouse

Help shape infrastructure decisions: queues, workers, scaling patterns, monitoring points, etc.

✅ What We’re Looking For

5+ years of backend experience with PHP & Laravel

Strong problem-solving skills and ability to reason about complex flows

Solid experience with:

Laravel (queues, events, jobs, service container, etc.)

MongoDB (indexes, schema design, performance basics)

Redis (cache, queues, patterns like locks / rate limiting are a plus)

REST APIs (design, versioning, security best practices)

Good understanding of networking & infrastructure basics:

Nginx, reverse proxies, load balancing concepts

Background workers, cron jobs, Supervisor (or equivalents)

Comfortable working with message brokers (RabbitMQ or similar)

Ability to read/understand Go code is a plus (not mandatory, but nice to have)

Mindset of ownership: you care about the system end-to-end, not just “your function/class”

Nice to Have:

Experience with ClickHouse or other analytics/OLAP databases

Experience in high-traffic, real-time, or financial/transaction-heavy systems

• Familiarity with horizontal scaling and sharding patterns
