About the Company
We are a forward-thinking technology company dedicated to providing innovative solutions that empower businesses. Our mission is to enhance operational efficiency through cutting-edge technology while fostering a collaborative and inclusive culture.
About the Role
We are looking for an experienced Web Development Team Lead to drive the engineering of a large-scale, business-critical web platform built on Laravel (PHP), ReactJS, and AWS cloud infrastructure. This is a hands-on leadership role: you will spend roughly 60–70% of your time writing and reviewing code, and the remainder mentoring a team of developers, shaping technical direction, and partnering with product and stakeholders to deliver reliably at scale. You will own the technical health of the platform end to end — architecture, code quality, performance, security, and delivery — while growing a high-performing, collaborative engineering team.
Key Responsibilities
Technical Leadership
- Lead the architecture, design, and delivery of a large, multi-module web application across the Laravel backend and ReactJS frontend.
- Make and document key technical decisions (frameworks, patterns, data models, API contracts) and ensure they align with long-term scalability and maintainability.
- Define and enforce engineering standards: coding conventions, code review practices, branching strategy, testing requirements, and definitions.
- Own non-functional requirements — performance, scalability, security, and reliability — and proactively address technical debt.
Hands-on Development
- Write clean, well-tested, production-grade code in PHP/Laravel and JavaScript/TypeScript with ReactJS.
- Design and build robust RESTful and/or GraphQL APIs, background jobs, queues, and event-driven workflows.
- Optimize database design and queries (MySQL/PostgreSQL), including indexing, partitioning, and caching strategies for large datasets.
- Lead code reviews and pair with developers to raise overall code quality.
Cloud & DevOps
- (AWS)Architect and manage application infrastructure on AWS (e.g., EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, CloudFront, SQS, ElastiCache, API Gateway).
- Champion CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure-as-code, automated testing, and reliable, repeatable deployments.
- Establish monitoring, logging, and alerting for production stability and rapid incident response.
Team & Delivery Management
- Lead, mentor, and grow a team of mid-level and senior developers; conduct 1:1s and support career development.
- Break down large initiatives into clear, estimable work; manage sprint planning, prioritization, and delivery in an Agile/Scrum environment.
- Collaborate closely with Product Managers, Designers, QA, and other stakeholders to translate business needs into technical solutions.
- Communicate status, risks, and trade-offs clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
Required Skills & Experience
- 6+ years of professional web development experience, with 2+ years in a technical lead or senior role.
- Deep expertisein PHP and the Laravel framework (Eloquent, queues, events, service container, testing).
- Strong proficiency in ReactJS and modern JavaScript/TypeScript, including state management (Redux, Zustand, or Context), hooks, and component architecture.
- Solid experience deploying and operating applications on AWS at scale.
- Strong relational database skills (MySQL or PostgreSQL) and experience optimizing for large data volumes.
- Proven experience with CI/CD, version control (Git), automated testing, and code review processes.
- Demonstrated ability to architect, scale, and maintain large or complex web applications.
- Excellent communication, mentoring, and stakeholder-management skills.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent practical experience.
What We Offer
- A leadership role on a high-impact, large-scale product.
- A modern technology stack and the autonomy to shape it.
- A collaborative, learning-focused engineering culture.
- Competitive compensation, benefits, and professional development support.
