We’re looking for a backend developer with great knowledge and experience with PHP and Laravel to help us take our web-app development further, building new features, and maintaining existing ones.
The JobYour main task would be to work on an application we run in the healthcare industry. You would be working with a complex Laravel-based system.
Some work in more miscellaneous tools related to the core application might be necessary, but where needed you would have the time to learn anything you’re not yet familiar with.
We have dozens of 3rd party integrations and some refactoring work is involved with these 3rd parties as well as general code base evolutions. We rely on AWS for many of our features, so you would be working with their APIs constantly.
We also have different levels of AI related usage in our applications, all the way from data extraction to prompt engineering, tooling and structuring.
Your workload would start with smaller tasks to understand the scope of our application, which does have a steep learning curve. As you get a grip on the intricacies, you would move up to bigger complexities within the application.
You would be working with an all-remote team that’s used to getting work done through text-based channels (backlogs, wikis, and Slack conversations). Great text-based asynchronous communication is key to this position. You have to be a good writer, being able to explain your ideas clearly to the rest of the team.
For reference, some keywords for technologies we use: Laravel, AWS (many products), Twilio, Stripe, Redis, Google APIs, Dropbox APIs, GraphQL, OpenSearch, OpenAI APIs, et al.
SkillsDevelopers have different strengths in different areas. Here are some of the categories we would assess candidates based on. Strength in one area can offset weakness in another.
- Core PHP knowledge
- Experience with Laravel
- Experience with AI API integrations
- Experience with production environments
- Experience with 3rd-party API integrations such as AWS, Twilio, and Stripe
- Experience with OWASP and similar security industry standards
- Experience with healthcare-related development and integrations would be a plus
- Frontend knowledge would be a plus to a smoother flow when necessary
This is a full-time remote position. We’re used to working as a dispersed team so you must be cool with collaborating online and a lot over text. We’re flexible on schedules, but at least 4 hours of overlap with a core of your team is mandatory.
