  • Work cross-functionally and collaboratively with both internal and external stakeholders.
  • Maintain and monitor software, conduct regular code reviews, and write detailed documentation to ensure reliability and best coding standards across our platform.

Required Experience/Qualifications

  • Expertise with PHP and ideally at least 3 years working specifically with the Laravel framework.
  • Strong understanding of OOP principles and design patterns, database management systems, and RESTful API design.
  • Experience in front end technologies is a plus; we use Vue and React.
  • Grit and adaptability to thrive with an early-stage team and navigate the unknown.
  • You’re independent, self-motivated and can stay efficient and productive on multiple tasks and projects simultaneously.
  • Well-developed interpersonal, written and verbal communication with an ability to influence decisions.
  • Ability to periodically travel to team headquarters in New York City or other locations for team meetings and company on-sites.
  • Bonus: Experience on a B2B or fintech product development team.
