Accutics - Lead Backend Developer

We are working with Accutics to find an experienced backend developer who's ready to step into a lead role. Accutics is a B2B SaaS company delivering a marketing data governance and campaign-tracking platform; a single shared data language that helps global brands such as Dyson, Coop, and Nordea standardise, validate, and connect their marketing data across platforms. With AI-ready marketing data now at the centre of where the product is heading, the backend has a real part to play. More about Accutics here.

This is not a ticket-handling or pure operations job. It's a chance to sit at the core of a live PHP/Laravel platform, own the backend side technically, and help shape how a small, sharp development team builds.

About the Position

The team today is two backend and three frontend developers, and Accutics wants to strengthen the backend side with a technical lead. You will come in as a hands-on senior who still loves writing code, but who's ready to take more ownership: helping the other backend developers when they get stuck, weighing in on architecture, and representing backend in the technical forums and feature-design sessions alongside the frontend lead.

Most of your week is feature development inside a Scrum-based product process with tight feedback loops. But this is a real product with real users, so every now and then something interesting lands - a tricky bug that surfaced overnight, a sudden need to onboard a couple of thousand users, a performance problem that needs a creative fix. Some weeks that's nothing; some weeks it's the best part of the job. What matters is the mindset: nobody hands you a script. You look at the problem, work out how to solve it, and drive it to done.

Working with AI

Accutics expects you to be comfortable working with modern AI tooling - Cursor, Claude Code, MCP, and the like. You don't need to be an expert, but you are intrigued and see the real value. More important than tool experience is judgment: knowing what's worth building, setting up experiments with clear success criteria, and being able to step back and ask "is this the version that creates value?" rather than generating code simply because it's easy to. AI makes it cheap to produce almost anything, the real skill is deciding what's worth producing.

Responsibilities

• Lead and mentor the backend development team.
• Design and develop scalable backend services.
• Optimize SQL databases for structure and performance.
• Collaborate with frontend developers in technical forums and feature-design sessions.
• Work with AI development tools to enhance the platform.

Requirements

• Must-have skills

  • Strong experience with PHP & Laravel.
  • Excellent problem-solving and self-direction.
  • Comfortable working with SQL databases and optimizing them.
  • Proficient in Git and collaborative development workflows.
  • Solid understanding of REST APIs and third-party integrations.
  • Familiarity with AI development tools like Cursor, Claude Code, and MCP.

• Nice-to-have skills

  • Experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud).
  • Knowledge of Docker and containerized development environments.
  • Awareness of CI/CD and deployment automation.
  • Experience with monitoring and debugging tools like New Relic or Sentry.
  • Hands-on experience customizing or training AI models.

Who You Are

Self-sufficient, proactive, and creative. You take ownership of a problem and run with it. You enjoy collaborating, you're happy to have a real voice in the product rather than just executing a spec, and you can zoom out to see the bigger picture when it counts.

We Offer

• A core technical role on a real product, with genuine influence over the backend direction.
• A small, collaborative team that values working closely together.
• Central Copenhagen office, on-site with remote work on Tuesdays.
• Room to grow into the lead role and to work with new technology, including AI.
• A sustainable, healthy work culture and good work-life balance.
