Bring modern patterns (Hexagonal Architecture, DDD) to modern Laravel (v11+) codebase

Integrate and maintain connections between internal systems and third-party platforms (billing, CRM, payment providers, etc.)

Maintain and evolve customer-facing account management UIs built with JavaScript, TypeScript, and React

Participate in code reviews, architectural discussions, and sprint ceremonies

Collaborate with remote teammates across time zones via video conference and async communication

Experience with AI-assisted development tools such as Claude Code

Experience with CPQ/billing platforms such as Zuora

Experience integrating with CRM/CPQ platforms such as HubSpot or Salesforce

Experience with containerization and orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes)

Experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, Pulumi, etc)

Familiarity with Scrum/Agile or Kanban methodologies, 8+ years of professional software engineering experience

Strong hands-on experience with modern PHP and the Laravel framework

Solid understanding of relational databases (MySQL or similar) and data modeling

Extensive experience with data engineering lifecycle (ingestion, lake formations, ETL)

Extensive experience with cloud infrastructure, particularly AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, Lambda, or similar)

Experience building and maintaining REST API integrations with third-party platforms

Skilled with front-end technologies including JavaScript, TypeScript, and React

A track record of inheriting legacy systems, assessing technical debt, and executing pragmatic improvements

Strong written and verbal communication skills - you can articulate tradeoffs clearly and build consensus

Self-directed and comfortable working as part of a geographically distributed team
