Title: Senior Software Engineer (Laravel + React) Remote: true Location: Denmark Locations: Denmark, New York, United States, Argentina, Brazil, United Kingdom, Netherlands Workplace: remote Type: full Language: en Departments: Engineering

We're looking for a Senior Engineer who takes pride in building reliable, well-crafted software at every layer. From a carefully modeled Eloquent relationship to a UI that makes complex infrastructure feel simple.

We make software development enjoyable, batteries-included, and productive. Laravel Cloud is a fully-managed PaaS trusted by thousands of developers and teams to ship and scale Laravel applications in production. You'd be joining a small, senior team that cares as much about how code is written as what it ships.

This is a role for someone who is deeply at home in PHP and Laravel, has strong instincts for backend architecture, and can cross the stack to ship a polished Inertia + React interface when the feature calls for it.

Location: Between EU West and US East for optimal collaboration with the team.

What You'll Do

Design and build full-stack features across the Laravel Cloud platform — from database schema and Eloquent models through to Inertia-powered React UIs.
Architect clean, testable Laravel backends: Actions, Form Requests, queued jobs, event broadcasting, and multi-tenant API endpoints.
Work across a rich domain: applications, environments, deployments, databases, caches, filesystems, networking, DNS zones and observability.
Write comprehensive Pest tests for every feature — happy paths, failure modes, and edge cases — and hold the codebase to a high standard of coverage and type safety.
Contribute polished frontend work using React and Inertia.js — dashboards, resource UIs, real-time data, and complex form flows.
Uphold engineering standards: PHPStan/Larastan static analysis, 100% type coverage, Pint/Rector formatting, ESLint.
Collaborate with product and design to ship work that's both technically sound and feels great to use.
5+ years of experience building production applications with Laravel and PHP — you have deep framework knowledge and strong opinions about how to structure backend code.
Solid understanding of Eloquent, query optimization, database design, and preventing N+1 problems at scale.
Experience designing and building reliable background job pipelines, event-driven processes, and queued tasks in Laravel.
Comfort building clean RESTful or JSON:API-compliant APIs — including auth, rate limiting, multi-tenancy, and versioning concerns.
Strong React skills — you can build interactive, accessible, and performant UIs with hooks, real-time data, and solid component structure.
Experience with Inertia.js or similar hybrid SPA patterns.
Proficiency with modern frontend tooling (Vite, Tailwind CSS).
A testing mindset — you reach for Pest naturally, treat tests as first-class code, and care about coverage and type safety.
Strong communication skills — you write clearly, give useful code reviews, and collaborate well in an async remote team.

Bonus Skills

Familiarity with cloud infrastructure concepts: DNS, TLS, containers, deployments, or managed databases.
Real-time web experience: WebSockets, Laravel Echo, event broadcasting.
Contributions to open source in the Laravel ecosystem.
Familiarity with PHPStan at a high enforcement level.

Why You'll Love Working Here

Work on a product developers and teams depend on every day — your work has real and immediate impact.
Join a small, senior team with high ownership, strong product taste, and no tolerance for accidental complexity.
Build with modern, well-maintained tools: PHP 8.4, Laravel 12, React 19, Tailwind CSS v4 — no legacy baggage.
Remote-first with flexibility and trust.

If you love Laravel, care about well-crafted backends, and want to help build the platform that makes deploying PHP applications effortless — we'd love to hear from you.

Small tight-knit team where every developer counts
Fully remote and globally distributed working environment
Option to attend Laracon conferences around the world
Health care plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)
Paid time off (Vacation, Sick & Public holidays)
Family leave (Maternity, Paternity)
Pension plans (As locally applicable)
Performance based bonus plan
