Back End Developer

Senior PHP Backend Engineer (Laravel / Symfony)

US Hours | High-Impact Platform | Excellent Compensation

We’re partnering with a long-standing US client to hire a Senior PHP Backend Engineer to help build and scale a mission-critical enterprise platform used by real users every day.

This is not a CMS or agency role.

This is a backend ownership role focused on payments, workflows, reporting, and scalable services.

If you’ve built and supported production PHP systems with real databases and real transactions, this role is worth your time.

What You’ll Be Working On As a senior member of the engineering team, you’ll help design, build, and stabilize core backend services that power :

Payment processing and transactional workflows

Authentication and secure access services

Reporting and document generation systems

Internal and public-facing REST APIs

Business process automation engines

You’ll collaborate closely with product, DevOps, and QA teams while helping shape technical standards and improving system reliability and performance.

What This Role Actually Requires We’re looking for engineers who have owned systems, not just tickets.

You should have :

5+ years of professional PHP development experience

Strong experience with Laravel or Symfony in production

Deep understanding of relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server)

Experience building or supporting transactional systems (payments, billing, financial workflows, etc.)

Hands-on experience with REST APIs and backend services

Comfort troubleshooting live production issues

Experience deploying or supporting applications in AWS, Azure, or GCP

Ability to work US hours and collaborate with a US-based team

Big Plus (Not Required) Payment gateway integrations (Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, etc.)

SaaS or multi-tenant platforms

Workflow engines or reporting systems

Security-focused backend work

Mentoring or code review leadership

Senior-level ownership and real technical impact

Excellent compensation, benefits, and long-term growth potential

Fast interview process (1–2 rounds max)

Work on systems that matter—not throwaway projects

A team that values clean architecture, reliability, and execution
