Zippd is in an exciting phase of rapid growth. As we scale our operations and technology, we are expanding our engineering team to build the next generation of our platform. We are looking for a highly capable Senior Laravel Developer to step in and take full ownership of our backend infrastructure.

• 6-7+ years of hands-on API development experience
• Proven experience integrating with external APIs

• Strong SQL indexing and performance tuning skills
• Architectural oversight capability
• Excellent and fluent English speaking skills

Requirements

• Deep understanding of Clean Architecture, SOLID principles, and the Repository pattern
• Proven history of building and maintaining high-traffic production systems
• Experience handling authentication, webhooks, error handling, and data consistency across systems
• Ability to communicate clearly and confidently, explaining complex technical logic to both product teams and non-technical stakeholders
• Comfortable working independently and collaborating effectively across video calls

Benefits

• Competitive and negotiable salary based on experience
• 100% remote position
