Summary:
Seeking a senior backend engineer with strong Laravel expertise to build, extend, and maintain Laravel applications and EspoCRM, working directly alongside the lead engineer.
Highlights:
1. Senior role collaborating directly with the lead engineer
2. Focus on Laravel backend development and CRM system implementation
3. Opportunity to work across systems and implement automation logic
We are seeking a senior backend engineer with strong Laravel expertise who can work directly alongside our lead engineer to build, extend, and maintain both our Laravel\-based application (YVA) and our EspoCRM system.
This role requires someone who is comfortable working across systems — implementing backend services, optimizing data flows, and building CRM\-based automation logic — without requiring step\-by\-step guidance.
You will not be the primary architect of the system — but you must be capable of understanding and executing architectural decisions at a high level.
**Core Responsibilities: Laravel Backend Development (Primary Focus)**
* Build and maintain backend services within our Laravel application
* Optimize Eloquent relationships and database schema
* Implement queues, jobs, and background processes
* Develop and maintain internal and external APIs
* Work closely with the lead engineer on performance and architectural improvements
**CRM System Implementation (EspoCRM)**
* Create and modify entities and relationships
* Implement calculated fields and formula logic
* Build custom scripts and workflow rules
* Maintain data integrity between CRM and backend systems
* Ensure consistency between CRM state and Laravel application state
**Cross\-System Coordination**
* Implement integrations between Laravel and EspoCRM
* Review data synchronization logic
* Prevent duplication and aggregation issues
* Assist in defining where logic should live (CRM vs backend vs automation layer)
**Required Experience**
* 5\+ years of backend development experience
* Advanced proficiency in PHP 8\.x and Laravel
* Strong understanding of:
* Eloquent ORM
* Database indexing
* Relationship modeling
* Performance optimization
* Experience working with at least one CRM system in a development capacity
* Comfortable implementing calculated fields, scripts, and workflow logic
* Experience with API integrations and webhook\-based systems
**Ideal (But Not Required)**
* Experience with EspoCRM specifically
* Experience collaborating with automation or AI workflow engineers
* Exposure to queue systems and background job processing
* Familiarity with AI\-assisted workflow integrations
**What This Role Is**
* A senior implementation partner to the lead engineer
* A cross\-system backend operator
* A builder who can execute without constant oversight
* Someone who understands architectural implications
**What This Role Is Not**
* A junior CRM admin
* A pure frontend developer
* A machine learning engineer
* A plug\-in installer
