🎯 About the role

We’re looking for a Backend Developer (PHP) to help us build and scale our next-generation checkout.

  • Build and improve backend systems powering checkout flows (PHP)
  • Develop and maintain APIs (REST / GraphQL)
  • Integrate with payment systems, eCommerce platforms, and third-party services
  • Work closely with frontend engineers to deliver seamless user experiences
  • Optimize performance, reliability, and scalability
  • Contribute to improving conversion and reducing friction in checkout
  • Take ownership of features from idea to production
🧠 What we’re looking for
  • 2–5 years of experience in backend or full stack development
  • Strong experience with PHP (Symfony or similar frameworks)
  • Experience working with APIs (REST or GraphQL)
  • Comfortable collaborating with frontend teams (React knowledge is a plus)
  • Interest in performance, UX, and product impact
  • Experience with eCommerce, payments, or checkout flows is a big plus
🧬 Who you are
  • Product-minded — you care about what you build and its impact
  • You take ownership and like to see things through
  • Detail-oriented and performance-focused
  • Curious and eager to learn
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced startup environment
💼 What we offer
  • Competitive salary + equity
  • Private health insurance (partially covered)
  • Hybrid work (3 days office / 2 remote)
  • Real growth opportunities
  • High-impact, collaborative environment
