Senior PHP Backend Engineer (Laravel / Symfony) US Hours | High-Impact Platform | Excellent Compensation
We’re partnering with a long-standing US client to hire a Senior PHP Backend Engineer to help build and scale a mission-critical enterprise platform used by real users every day.
This is not a CMS or agency role.
This is a backend ownership role focused on payments, workflows, reporting, and scalable services.

Payment processing and transactional workflows
Authentication and secure access services
Reporting and document generation systems
Internal and public-facing REST APIs
Business process automation engines
You’ll collaborate closely with product, DevOps, and QA teams while helping shape technical standards and improving system reliability and performance.
What This Role Actually Requires
5+ years of professional PHP development experience
Strong experience with Laravel or Symfony in production
Deep understanding of relational databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, or SQL Server)
Experience building or supporting transactional systems (payments, billing, financial workflows, etc.)
Hands‑on experience with REST APIs and backend services
Comfort troubleshooting live production issues
Experience deploying or supporting applications in AWS, Azure, or GCP
Ability to work US hours and collaborate with a US-based team
Payment gateway integrations (Stripe, PayPal, Authorize.net, etc.) (not required)
SaaS or multi‑tenant platforms
Workflow engines or reporting systems
Security-focused backend work
Mentoring or code review leadership
Senior-level ownership and real technical impact
Excellent compensation, benefits, and long-term growth potential.

A team that values clean architecture, reliability, and execution.
