Description
Job Title: Senior Laravel Developer
We’re looking for:
A full stack developer to work closely with our founder/CTO to help shape a rapidly growing business. Fully remote; US-based candidates only.
Our ideal candidate will have full-stack expertise, with an emphasis on back end skills:
- Data modeling and migrations.
- Security and performance.
- Simple readable code backed by testing.
- Thoughtful feature design.
Applicants must:
- Care about good code.
- Have 5+ years of professional Laravel experience.
- Be able to model and query data efficiently in a relational database.
- Enjoy collaborating with other opinionated developers.
- Be comfortable owning projects end-to-end that translate business needs into technical implementations.
Your typical day will include 80% of your time focusing on your work, and 20% of your time meeting with the team and other stakeholders. You will participate in daily standups as well as regular planning and retrospective sessions.
We will provide a Macbook and get you set up on Github, Tuple, and Slack. We will also set up PhpStorm and Laravel IDEA for development, and help you get our app running locally via Laravel Herd.
About Us:
Card Conduit was founded in 2019 to offer the easiest way to sell Magic: The Gathering cards and, since then, has grown into one of the largest buyers of cards in the community. Many of our customers also know us as Spellfinder, our retail arm.
Our service is built on trust, and we care deeply about our customers, our staff, and our mission to deliver industry-leading customer service and value.
The success of our mission relies heavily on technology, including systems for:
- Card grading and valuation
- Card mapping and identification
- Market price analysis
- Tracking inventory and orders
- Various API integrations
- And more
If you're into M:TG, you'll be building a service the community loves. Regardless, the domain is fascinating: card grading, market dynamics, and inventory at scale present genuinely interesting engineering challenges.
Our Tech Stack:
- PHP
- Laravel
- MySQL
- Meilisearch
- React/Typescript
- Inertia.js
- Tailwind
- AWS
Our Values:
- Thoughtfulness: Think first, code later. Understanding that there are often many solutions to the same problem, we endeavor to weigh our options and think carefully about the best approach.
- Readability: We prefer readable code over brevity, where comments are rarely needed because the structure, variables, and method names in your code tell a clear story.
- Restraint: The best solutions are simple and boring. We resist the temptation to demonstrate cleverness, or to use the newest, shiniest technology.
- Eye for Detail: The last 5% of a feature is the hardest part. We need to think about and cover the edge cases, and ensure every i is dotted and every t is crossed.
- Pragmatism: We adhere to conventions when possible, but we’re not religious about it. When the situation calls for it, we’ll denormalize a field in the database, or repeat code. As long as we understand the tradeoffs, we prefer to be open minded.
Compensation & Benefits:
- 130,000-150,000 USD salary per year
- Fully remote, but must reside in the US (and be authorized to work there)
- 3 weeks paid time off
- Competitive Medical, Dental, Vision Insurance, with the company paying 85% of the premium for employee and 75% of the premium for eligible employee dependents
Equal Opportunity Employment:
We welcome and value a diversity of backgrounds and experiences. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, marital status, veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other characteristic protected by law.
