  • Focus: Hands-on backend development + team leadership + AI adoption
  • Architecture/Stack: PHP 8.5, Laravel 13, PostgreSQL; large modular monolith

Description

Lead a small, autonomous web product team where you partner with senior engineers rather than supervising juniors. You’ll combine hands-on coding and architectural decision-making with people management, planning, and prioritization. You’ll also drive AI adoption—using AI to research systems, automate repetitive work, and improve delivery value.

  • Own high-level planning and prioritization with Product and Design
  • Build and improve processes that keep the team effective without bureaucracy
  • Participate in hiring, onboarding, and performance reviews
  • Lead AI transformation: experiment with tools/workflows, standardize what works, and share across engineering
  • Use customer insights to challenge solutions and help decide what to build and in what order
  • Write and review code, own technical direction of modules, reduce legacy code, add tests, and keep dependencies current

Requirements

  • People management experience (1:1s, performance, and team processes); not a first management step
  • Strong backend engineering with advanced PHP 8.1+ and Laravel or Symfony; experience building large scalable applications
  • Technical leadership and architecture experience for complex projects
  • Hands-on AI adoption in daily engineering; energy to lead AI adoption
  • Product mindset focused on business impact
  • Solid testing experience with PHPUnit and a strategy covering unit, integration, and functional tests
  • English at B2 level or higher

Benefits

  • Stock options
  • Flexible working hours and minimal-meetings culture
  • Unlimited PTO
  • High-performance company laptop
  • One-time $500 workspace setup budget
  • $50/month education budget (rolls over until year-end)
  • Licenses for Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, and PhpStor
