About the project:

We’re developing a powerful gifting SaaS platform that helps companies and individuals easily send gifts at scale — for employee rewards, customer engagement, and special occasions.

Requirements:

• 5+ years of backend software engineering experience, with strong senior-level ownership;
• Strong PHP skills and solid hands-on Laravel experience;
• Deep understanding of MySQL / relational databases, including schema design, transactions, migrations, and query optimization;
• Strong experience building and maintaining production APIs (REST or GraphQL, authentication, integrations, versioning);
• Experience working with production systems, including debugging complex issues, logging, monitoring, and incident resolution;
• Strong understanding of reliability, scalability, and performance in production environments;
• Experience with safe deployments, release processes, and troubleshooting production issues;
• Ability to work effectively with an existing/mature codebase, identify technical risks, and improve it incrementally;
• Strong engineering practices: code reviews, testing, PR workflows, clean and maintainable code;
• Strong ownership mindset — ability to take a problem from investigation and solution design through implementation, rollout, and monitoring;
• Good frontend awareness — ability to understand modern frontend architecture and collaborate effectively with frontend engineers;
• Familiarity with AWS environments and deployment concepts;
• Experience using AI-assisted development tools as part of the engineering workflow;
• Strong communication and collaboration skills;
• English: Upper-Intermediate (B2) or higher.

What You’ll Do:

• Design reliable flows around integrations, gift lifecycle/state, and operational tooling;
• Implement and maintain background jobs, asynchronous processing, retries, and failure handling;
• Investigate and resolve complex production issues and help improve overall system stability;
• Improve application performance and data quality through MySQL optimization, schema improvements, and safe migrations;
• Collaborate closely with frontend engineers and product/design teams on API contracts and end-to-end delivery;
• Raise the engineering quality bar through code reviews, testing practices, technical discussions, and pragmatic refactoring;
• Take ownership of a domain from problem → solution → rollout → monitoring → iteration;
• Support and mentor other engineers and contribute to technical decisions and engineering standards;
• Gradually expand your knowledge across the platform, including newer Node.js-based components.

What we offer:

• Competitive compensation: depending on experience and qualifications;
• Flexible work setup — remote or from our office in Dnipro;
• Opportunity to make a direct impact on product growth and key business metrics;
• Comprehensive benefits, including medical insurance, full accounting support, a budget for courses, conferences, and professional development, plus coverage for psychotherapy sessions because your well-being matters.
