About The Role We're a digital healthcare company building the platform that powers our clinical and pharmacy operations. We're expanding that platform significantly this year, and we're looking for a senior backend engineer to help design and build its next generation. You'll take ownership of backend services from initial architecture through deployment and long-term maintenance.

You'll design scalable systems, implement new features, review code, improve application performance, and continuously reduce technical debt. You'll regularly switch between multiple products and projects, helping teams deliver features quickly without compromising quality or maintainability. Beyond writing code, you'll participate in architecture discussions, mentor developers, review pull requests, and help shape the engineering standards followed across the company.

As AI continues to play an increasingly important role in our products, you'll also help build intelligent workflows, integrate AI services, and explore new ways of using modern language models to improve customer experiences and internal operations. What You'll Be Doing Designing and building backend services in Laravel, from architecture through to production

Working on core platform capabilities: data modelling, APIs, background processing, and integrations

Designing secure, well-documented, versioned REST APIs

Building event-driven and asynchronous systems with queues and background jobs

Optimising database performance and application scalability

Writing automated tests and helping improve our engineering and release practices

Integrating third-party services, including commerce,



logistics, and AI/LLM APIs

Reviewing code and helping raise the overall standard of the team Requirements What we're looking for 7+ years of professional backend development, with at least 3 years of strong Laravel experience in production systems you helped design — we care more about what you've built than the exact number of years

Deep understanding of Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), SOLID principles, design patterns, and system design

Strong data modelling and system design instincts, and the ability to reason about trade-offs

Experience with Shopify APIs, Eloquent ORM optimisation, MySQL performance tuning, Redis, queue-based systems, AWS infrastructure, and scalable REST APIs is essential

Solid MySQL depth (indexing, query optimisation, performance under growth), plus Redis and queue-based asynchronous processing

Experience with AWS, Docker, Linux, Git, CI/CD, application monitoring, and performance optimization is essential

Testing as a habit, you write tests, you expect CI to catch problems, and you take reliability seriously

Working knowledge of AWS (EC2, RDS, S3, IAM, CloudWatch), enough to be self-sufficient





Explicit written communication and the ability to document and defend design decisions Nice to have Experience in a regulated domain (healthcare, fintech, or similar) where compliance and auditability are design inputs

Multi-tenant SaaS experience

LLM integration work (Anthropic or OpenAI APIs), with an interest in evaluation and reliability rather than demos

Shopify API experience

Event-driven architecture in production Tech stack PHP 8.x / Laravel (Horizon, Queues, Events, Scheduler) MySQL

Redis

REST APIs

AWS

Docker

GitHub Actions

Anthropic & OpenAI APIs

Vue.js + Inertia on the frontend (this is a backend-focused role; frontend fluency is welcome but not required) The challenges you'll be working on As part of our engineering team, you'll work on a variety of technical challenges, including: Designing backend systems capable of handling millions of requests

Building AI-powered products and integrating Large Language Models (LLMs) into real-world workflows

Architecting and developing greenfield applications from concept to production

Scaling and optimising large Laravel codebases

Designing secure, maintainable, and high-performance REST APIs

Building event-driven and asynchronous systems using queues and background processing

Optimising database performance, caching strategies, and application scalability

Improving developer experience through automation, tooling, and engineering best practices

Building reliable cloud-native applications on AWS Benefits We're an equal-opportunity employer. As a regulated healthcare business, the successful candidate will undergo a basic background check.
