We are looking for a full-time, remote Senior/Staff Platform Software Engineer with 7+ years of experience to join our U.S. client. The role focuses on designing, building, and evolving the foundational systems that power the products. This role requires an experienced engineer with strong hands-on expertise in PHP and TypeScript (Angular) who can operate with minimal oversight and deliver pragmatic, customer-focused solutions.
The ideal candidate is an engineer who already possesses deep technical expertise, architectural judgment, and product-oriented thinking — and can apply those skills immediately in a production environment.
Our client provides integrated software and marketing solutions for the hospitality industry, specializing in short-term rental management. Their platform provides vacation rental companies with an enterprise-class property management system integrating booking, guest communications, and financial reporting systems - all built with partner organization integrations in mind.

* Apply Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles and architectural modeling to complex business domains
* Make sound tradeoffs between ideal architecture and practical delivery timelines
* Build and integrate systems leveraging LLM-based tools to accelerate development workflows
* Design and implement features powered by LLMs and agent-based systems, including orchestration, evaluation, and observability
* Improve engineering velocity through tooling, automation, and thoughtful system design
* Collaborate cross-functionally with product and design teams to ensure technical decisions align with customer needs
* Contribute to cloud architecture decisions and ensure systems are scalable, secure, and cost-aware
Required Experience
* Excellent English communication skills
* 7+ years of professional software engineering experience
* Deep, production-grade experience with PHP
* Strong front-end development experience using TypeScript and Angular
* Experience designing and operating distributed systems in production
* Strong understanding of API design, RESTful services, and event-driven systems and solid knowledge of relational databases and data modeling
* Practical experience applying Domain-Driven Design (DDD) concepts and architectural models (layered architecture, hexagonal/clean architecture, event-driven architecture, etc.)
* Demonstrated ability to evolve legacy systems incrementally
* Ability to design systems that balance correctness, scalability, cost, and delivery speed
* Hands-on experience deploying and operating systems in AWS, with familiarity with core AWS services (e.G., EC2, ECS/EKS, Lambda, RDS, S3, API Gateway, CloudWatch, IAM) and strong understanding of cloud-native patterns, scalability, reliability, and cost optimization
* Experience with infrastructure-as-code (e.G., Terraform, CloudFormation, CDK) is strongly preferred
* Hands-on experience using LLM-based tools in daily development workflows
* Experience integrating LLM APIs into production systems
* Familiarity with prompt design, evaluation strategies, and reliability patterns
* Ideally: experience building features or internal tools powered by LLM agents, including orchestration, tool use, guardrails, and monitoring
* Strong product mindset with p ragmatic decision-maker — prioritizes customer impact over theoretical purity and avoids dogmatic adherence to patterns or tools
* Experience making technical tradeoffs in ambiguous environments
* Ability to reason about cost, complexity, maintainability, and time-to-market
* Highly self-motivated and accountable, with the ability to drive initiatives independently from concept to production with minimal oversight
* Comfortable operating in environments with evolving requirements
