Senior Laravel Developer

We are looking for a Senior Laravel Developer to join the Macellan SuperApp Team.

Macellan is a large-scale fintech SuperApp focused on digital wallets, payments, and high-throughput transactional systems.
We build mission-critical backend services that require strong consistency, performance, and reliability at scale.

Role Overview
This is a backend-focused role centered around designing and building robust, high-performance APIs with Laravel.
While the core responsibility is backend development, you may occasionally contribute to TypeScript-based services when needed.

What you will do

• Design and develop high-quality RESTful APIs using Laravel.

• Build and evolve core SuperApp services such as wallet, payment, balance, and transaction flows.

• Take architectural decisions with performance, scalability, and reliability in mind.

• Write clean, maintainable, and testable code.

• Own features end-to-end, from design to production and monitoring.

• Collaborate closely with DevOps and product teams in a distributed system environment.
  
  Our Tech Stack

• Laravel (Octane / long-running processes)

• TypeScript (backend services & tooling)

• PostgreSQL

• Redis (queue, cache, rate-limit, locking)

• Modern CI/CD pipelines

• Kubernetes

• Google Cloud infrastructure

• Observability & monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Sentry)
  
  

• Strong experience with Laravel in production systems.

• Experience building high-performance, transactional database schemas and queries.

• Strong understanding of queues, background jobs, and caching strategies.

• Ability to write unit and feature tests, and design testable systems from day one.

• Strong understanding of clean architecture, SOLID principles, and modern design patterns.

• Comfortable and effective use of AI tools (e.g. GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude) in daily development.

• Comfortable with static analysis and code quality tools (PHPStan, Rector, Pint, or similar).

• Proficient with Git.

• High ownership mindset and production responsibility awareness.
  
  Nice to Have

• Knowledge of TypeScript.

• Experience with fintech or payment systems.

• Experience with distributed systems and scalability challenges.

• Experience with domain-driven design.

• Experience with automated testing strategies and CI/CD at scale.
