Senior Laravel Developer

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.

Core stack (PHP/Laravel side):

• Laravel (PHP) as the main backend framework
• Mongo
  
  DB as the primary database (shared across multiple services)
• Redis (shared cache + per-project cache)
• Rabbit
  
  MQ as a message broker
• Nginx as web server
• Cron + Supervisor for scheduled jobs & workers

• Work on transactional & wallet-related logic with a strong focus on data consistency and integrity
• Design and optimize inter-service communication (HTTP + Rabbit
  
  MQ)
• Improve and maintain caching layers (Redis) and real-time flows (Reverb websockets / Go websockets)
• Collaborate on DB modeling and performance, especially in Mongo
  
  DB and Click House

• 5+ years of backend experience with PHP & Laravel
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to reason about complex flows
• Solid experience with:
  • 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 (Rabbit
    
    MQ 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 Click House or other analytics/OLAP databases
  • Experience in high-traffic, real-time, or financial/transaction-heavy systems
  • Familiarity with horizontal scaling and sharding patterns
