We have 3 sites in which we need help building features for. These are our products.

• Product-Focused Mindset: You think beyond code and care about the user experience and business outcomes. You contribute thoughtful feedback that improves the product.
• Independent and Reliable: You don’t need to be micromanaged. You take ownership of your work and follow through with accountability.

• Lead technical incident response; write post-mortems with clear root causes and follow-up actions
• Identify and manage technical debt - maintain a prioritized backlog and advocate for regular capacity to address it
• Translate product requirements into technical solutions, milestones, and well-decomposed tasks
• Mentor engineers through design sessions, pair programming, and code reviews; reduce key-person risk by spreading knowledge across the team
• Define and maintain SLIs/SLOs for team-owned services; ensure sufficient logging, metrics, and alerting are in place
• Coordinate technical dependencies with other teams (Content Serving, Billing, UGC, DevOps); represent the team in architecture syncs and design reviews

• Ability to communicate technical trade-offs, risks, and designs clearly to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders
• English B1+ (written and verbal communication)
   

Bonus Points

• Experience with Camunda or similar BPMN/workflow orchestration engines

What you’ll do

• Provide technical support for our product: investigate and resolve production issues, bugs, and user-reported problems.
• Triage incoming requests: clarify symptoms, reproduce issues, identify root cause, and communicate progress/status clearly.
• Fix backend issues in Laravel: implement safe, well-tested changes and deploy via our standard release flow.
• Work with databases (primarily SQL): analyze data issues, write/debug queries, and help prevent data integrity problems.
• Use logs, metrics, and tracing to debug effectively; improve observability (better logs, alerts, dashboards).
• Collaborate with Product, QA, and DevOps to ensure smooth delivery and reliable operations.
• Contribute to continuous improvement by:
  • writing/supporting runbooks and internal documentation
  • automating repetitive support tasks
  • suggesting and implementing small refactors to reduce incidents
• Use AI tools to speed up debugging, writing documentation, creating test cases, and summarizing incidents—while keeping quality and security intact.

We value

• High performance / results-first: solving the real problem and preventing it from coming back.
• Ownership: take responsibility for issues from report → diagnosis → fix → follow-up.
• Systems thinking: understand how changes affect reliability and users.
• Fast execution with integrity: speed and safe changes.
• Continuous improvement: learn, document, automate, and level up our support maturity.

You’ll thrive here if you…

• Enjoy debugging and turning messy issues into clear fixes.
• Communicate well under uncertainty (and ask good questions early).
• Like working close to real users and real production constraints.
• Prefer practical improvements over process theater.

What we’re looking for

• Around 3+ years of software development experience with Laravel, Yii.
• Solid fundamentals: OOP, clean code practices, and version control with Git.
• Basic experience with AWS and cloud environments (e.g., S3/ECS/RDS — not necessarily deep expertise).
• Working knowledge of PostgreSQL and MongoDB: writing queries, debugging data issues, understanding indexes at a basic level.
• Comfortable with Docker-based local development and working with CI/CD pipelines (at least as a user).
• Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and a service mindset toward internal/external users.
• English: Upper-Intermediate+ for collaboration and documentation.
• Language bonus:
  • Swedish is a plus.
  • Ukrainian/Russian is a plus for smoother communication with part of the team.
• AI usage experience: practical experience using AI tools to support development/support workflows (we’ll support and compensate relevant subscriptions).

Interview process (3 steps)

1. Screening interview with the Recruiter.
