Senior Full Stack Developer - B2B platform (Laravel + Nuxt/Vue)

• Full Lifecycle Development: Architect, build, and ship end-to-end B2B features across the stack- from Laravel/Doctrine JSON:API endpoints to reactive Nuxt 3/4 Vue components and server routes. • Embed & Analytics Engine: Develop and optimize high-performance embedded widget systems, Nitro server engine logic, iframe cross-origin messaging, client event-tracking SDKs, and data ingestion pipelines. • API & Database Architecture: Design robust relational database schemas (MySQL), Doctrine entity mappings, clean migrations, performant RESTful/JSON:API contracts, and Redis caching layers. • AI-Native Acceleration: Integrate AI coding tools (Cursor, Gemini) into daily development for rapid feature prototyping, code refactoring, test generation, and building LLM-driven product features (e.g., automated applicant evaluation). • Third-Party Integrations*: Integrate and maintain core third-party services and APIs, including CRM platforms, error tracking systems, payment gateways, and cloud data services • Automated Testing & Quality: Establish comprehensive automated test coverage (PHPUnit for backend, Playwright and Vitest for E2E/components) integrated into CI/CD pipelines to guarantee zero regressions. • Mentorship & Code Reviews: Conduct thorough, constructive code reviews and collaborate closely with product managers, QA engineers, and leadership to elevate team standards. • Experience: 4+ years of professional full-stack web development experience, with at least 1+ year actively incorporating AI coding assistants into daily engineering workflows. • Backend Expertise (PHP & Laravel): Strong commercial experience with PHP 8+ and Laravel (clean service architecture, queues/jobs, middleware, and OAuth2/Passport authentication). • Frontend Mastery (Vue 3 & Nuxt 3/4): Deep proficiency in modern Vue 3 (Composition API), Nuxt 3 or Nuxt 4, TypeScript, Pinia state management, and Tailwind CSS. • Database & ORM Skills: Strong relational database modeling and query optimization in MySQL, along with solid experience using ORMs (Doctrine ORM / DBAL or deep Eloquent experience with the ability to adapt to Doctrine quickly). • API Design & Caching: Deep understanding of RESTful / JSON:API standards, server-side validation error mapping, request formatting, and Redis performance caching. • AI-Native Workflow: Active daily use of AI coding tools (Cursor, Gemini) as a force multiplier for coding, debugging, and test creation. • Automated Testing: Hands-on experience writing backend test suites (PHPUnit) and frontend/E2E tests (Playwright, Vitest, or Cypress). • DevOps & Tooling: Solid working knowledge of Git, CI/CD release pipelines, Docker containerization, and Linux/container environments. • Async Communication & Autonomy: Exceptional written technical communication skills for authoring PRs, architectural design docs, and issue tracking; high autonomy to navigate multi-service codebases, solve complex blockers independently, and drive initiatives. • Education & Background: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or equivalent practical software engineering experience. • Certifications*: Advanced degree or formal certifications in Cloud Architecture, Modern Software Engineering, or AI Engineering. • Doctrine ORM: Direct production experience with Doctrine ORM / DBAL in Laravel environments. • Widget & SDK Systems: Experience developing embeddable web widgets, lightweight JavaScript tracking SDKs, iframe cross-origin communication, or browser fingerprinting. • Modern Tooling: Experience with Nitro server engines, Bun runtime, PrimeVue components, or streaming data into data warehouses (e.g., BigQuery). • Payment Gateways: Integration experience with payment processors (Stripe/Braintree) and B2B subscription billing lifecycles. • Gemini LLM Integration: Practical experience integrating Google Gemini models (prompt engineering, structured JSON outputs, Gemini API / SDKs). • Cloud Infrastructure (GCP): Hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (Cloud Run, Kubernetes, Cloud Build). • Technical Leadership: Prior experience in a Tech Lead or Team Lead capacity - driving architectural decisions, coordinating delivery, and unblocking team members. • Domain Knowledge: Background in high-growth B2B SaaS platforms, grant/applicant management systems, EdTech, recruitment/ATS tools, or conversion tracking ecosystems. • Product-Minded Execution: Strong product ownership mindset - evaluating engineering trade-offs through the lens of user experience, conversion funnel impact, and tangible business value. • Mission-Driven Work - Build technology that helps students unlock education opportunities • Fully Remote - Work from anywhere while collaborating with a global team • High Impact & Ownership - Small team, big challenges, real autonomy • Unlimited PTO - Take time when you need it, we trust you • Coworking Budget - $200/month to invest in your ideal coworking workspace • Continuous Learning Culture - We support curiosity, experimentation, and growth • Hardware Budget - Up to $1,600 to invest in your ideal computer • Annual Company Off-sites - Meet your teammates in person and connect beyond the screen
