**About us**
We are a fast-growing SaaS startup that specializes in building HR Tech solutions with AI. Our product helps recruiting agencies monetize their talent pools. We already secured a financing round and have seen significant success in our short time in the market.

We are seeking a highly talented and driven Senior-level Fullstack Engineer to join our team and become an essential contributor to our product. If you have a strong background in PHP, Laravel, and JavaScript and are excited to build something new using the latest AI advancements - this might be an exciting opportunity.

**Tech stack**

- You’re curious about new tech and tinkering with new tools, libs etc to stay up to date
- You have a solid experience with PHP, Laravel and Javascript. You’re comfortable building features fullstack start to finish
- You’re excited about the opportunity to join early stage startup and have the freedom of driving the product from the ground up
- You’re comfortable working remotely and independently and don’t need “managers” to make a good progress

**Responsibilities**
- Implement new product features, both backend and frontend, from the concept to production
- Collaborate with the founders to generate new ideas and implement new solutions for our customers.
- Contribute your experience to improve our product, tech stack, infrastructure, process
- Create and maintain APIs and integrations with various third-party systems.
- Optimize application performance and ensure scalability to handle large volumes of data.
- Stay up-to-date with industry trends and advancements in AI, and actively explore how these technologies can be integrated into our product offerings.

- At least 5 years of web development experience using PHP, Laravel, Javascript
- Experience in designing DB structures for performance and scalability
- Knowledge of RESTful APIs and experience in building and consuming them
- Curiosity and interest in recent advancements in AI and its applications in software development.

**Nice to have**
- Good understanding of major security vulnerabilities of web apps and ways to mitigate them
- Experience building basic CI/CD pipelines with GitHub actions etc.
- Experience building SPA/PWA with React/Vue, as we might need to upgrade our frontend stack in the near future
