ABOUT THE ROLE

You'll own backend features end-to-end on a live marketplace—listings, orders, payments, payouts, and the integrations that hold them together. It's the kind of surface area where correctness genuinely matters: a mis-settled payout or a double-charged buyer is a real problem for a real person.

Our backend runs on Laravel [version] with MySQL, deployed on [AWS / DigitalOcean / etc.], with [Blade + jQuery / Vue SPA] on the front end. Queues and scheduled jobs drive order events, notifications, and third-party syncs.

You'll work directly with the frontend, QA, and product teams, and you'll ship to production regularly.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

- Build and maintain backend features and REST APIs for our web and mobile clients
- Own assigned modules end-to-end — requirements, build, testing, deployment, and production support
- Design MySQL schemas and write efficient queries against growing data
- Work with Laravel queues, jobs, and schedulers for asynchronous and background processing
- Integrate third-party services: payment gateways, messaging/notification providers, and logistics partners
- Debug production issues, perform root-cause analysis, and ship durable fixes
- Participate in code reviews and help raise the quality bar on the team
- [Write and maintain automated tests using Pest/PHPUnit]

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR





- 2–4 years of hands-on PHP and Laravel experience (mandatory)
- Solid working knowledge of core Laravel: Eloquent and relationships, middleware, request validation, auth, migrations, routing
- Robust MySQL fundamentals — schema design, joins, aggregation, indexing, and query optimization
- Practical experience designing and consuming REST APIs, including auth, validation, and error handling
- Experience integrating third-party APIs in production
- Working knowledge of Laravel queues, jobs, schedulers, and caching
- Comfortable with Git and standard branching workflows
- Working knowledge of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript
- Clear written and verbal communication

NICE TO HAVE

- Experience with Vue.js, React, or Next.js
- Comfort with Linux servers, environment configuration, deployments, and reading application logs
- eCommerce or marketplace experience, particularly payments or order lifecycle
- Familiarity with Agile workflows and tools like Postman

WHY JOIN US

- Small team, high ownership — your work ships and is used by real customers within days, not quarters
- Genuinely compelling problems: marketplace trust, payment and settlement flows, returns, and abuse prevention
- A product with a purpose — every transaction keeps something usable out of a landfill
- Direct access to founders and room to grow with the company
