Partner Backend Developer

Job description:

Partner Backend Developer Microservices | Laravel | MySQL

We are seeking a highly skilled backend developer with deep experience in microservices and large-scale systems who wants to grow with us as a long-term partner.

About the Role

As our Partner Backend Developer, you will:

• Architect, build, and optimize backend services and APIs
• Work extensively across microservices-based environments
• Lead backend execution across multiple ongoing projects
• Collaborate closely with product, DevOps, and frontend teams
• Contribute to system scalability, reliability, and performance
• Participate in technical decision-making and roadmap planning

This role suits someone who has worked on complex, production-level systems and enjoys leadership responsibility in a startup-driven environment.

Technical Expertise

We are looking for strong experience in:

• Laravel (advanced)
• Microservices architecture and inter-service communication
• REST APIs and backend integrations
• MySQL database design and optimization
• Queues, workers, and asynchronous processing
• Designing scalable and secure backend systems

Bonus (nice to have):

• Experience with cloud environments and distributed deployments
• Docker or containerized environments

You do not need to be a full-stack developer, but you must be confident in backend engineering at a system-architecture level.

Partnership-Based Compensation

This is not a fixed-salary role. Compensation is based on commissions from platform sales and revenue. For the right partner, we are open to stock options/equity participation.

We want someone who:

• Thinks like a product owner rather than a freelancer
• Believes in long-term upside and shared rewards
• Wants to help build something impactful

If you are looking for a traditional monthly salary, this role may not be the right match. If you want to be part of a core founding-style team, let’s talk.

Ideal Profile

This role fits someone who:

• Has built real-world backend systems
• Understands scalability and performance challenges
• Has worked in startup or fast-paced tech environments
• Enjoys responsibility, ownership, and leadership
• Wants to grow with the company long term
