Senior Laravel Developer
The Role:
We're looking for a versatile Laravel developer who can seamlessly switch between feature development, bug fixes, and design work across our full-stack application. You'll work with modern Laravel tooling and be expected to contribute to both frontend and backend codebases with equal confidence.
Requirements:
Backend:
Strong expertise in Laravel (experience with Laravel 11/12's modern structure preferred)
Deep understanding of Eloquent ORM, relationships, and query optimization
Experience with Laravel's ecosystem: queues, events, policies, form requests
Proficient with database design, migrations, and seeders
Knowledge of Laravel testing (PHPUnit)
Frontend:
Expert-level Livewire 3 knowledge (including Volt single-file components)
Strong Tailwind CSS skills (v4 experience a plus)
Solid Alpine.js fundamentals for reactive UI patterns
Comfortable with component-based architecture
Understanding of loading states, wire:model patterns, and lifecycle hooks
Full-Stack Capabilities:
Ability to build complete features from database to UI
Debug issues across the entire stack
Make design decisions that balance aesthetics with functionality
Write clean, maintainable, well-tested code
Follow PSR-12 and Laravel best practices
Nice to Have:
Experience with Flux UI component library
Laravel Nova administration panel experience
Inertia.js knowledge
Understanding of Laravel Pint, Fortify
Contributions to open-source Laravel packages
Eye for UI/UX design principles
Responsibilities:
Feature Development (40%)
Design and implement new features from conception to deployment
Create database schemas, Eloquent models, and relationships
Build interactive Livewire components with polished UIs
Write comprehensive tests for new functionality
Bug Fixes & Maintenance (30%)
Troubleshoot issues across frontend and backend
Optimize database queries and eliminate N+1 problems
Refactor legacy code to modern Laravel standards
Fix UI inconsistencies and responsive design issues
Design & Polish (30%)
Translate design concepts into functional interfaces
Ensure consistent styling using Tailwind conventions
Implement loading states, transitions, and micro-interactions
Maintain design system consistency across the application
What Makes You Successful:
You think in the Laravel way - using the framework's conventions and tools rather than fighting against them
You understand that great features need both solid backend logic and delightful user experiences
You're comfortable reading existing code patterns and following established conventions
You can identify when to use Livewire vs. traditional forms, when to extract components, and when to reach for Alpine
You write tests naturally as part of your development process
You care about code quality but also know when to ship
Our Tech Stack:
Backend: PHP 8.3, Laravel 12, Livewire 3, Volt, Fortify
Frontend: Tailwind CSS v4, Alpine.js, Flux UI Pro
Tools: Laravel Nova, Inertia.js, Laravel Pint, Pest
