About the role

What you’ll do

  • Design and implement APIs for checkout, company provisioning, and day-to-day shop operations.
  • Work with product and frontend to ship clear, well-tested features.
  • Improve reliability, observability, and performance across payments and CRM services.
  • Review code, write documentation, and help the team raise the quality bar.

What we’re looking for

  • Experience building production APIs in PHP, Node, or a similar backend language.
  • Comfort with relational data, integrations, and third-party payment or CRM systems.
  • Clear written communication and a bias toward simple, maintainable solutions.
  • Ability to work independently in a remote, full-time role.

Nice to have

  • Laravel, payment processors, or prior work in automotive / collision repair software.
  • Experience with webhooks, background jobs, and multi-tenant SaaS.
