Responsibilities
We’re looking for a Senior Full-Stack Engineer who combines strong engineering fundamentals with a practical mindset. You’ll join our web application team with heavy backend processing job focus. Your work will also involve frontend work to build the customer facing UI, but is typically backend (php/laravel) dominant.

The role offers a high degree of autonomy within a collaborative, high-trust environment. You’ll work closely with teammates across Europe and Brazil and frequently with our marketing and sales teams in the U.S., so you should be comfortable working in English and collaborating asynchronously across time zones.

Value working in a dynamic company where impact matters more than process.
