Job description
About the Position
We're growing the payment microservice of a fintech/iGaming platform, built on Laravel 10 / PHP 8.1, handling deposits, withdrawals, and currency management.
The service integrates with 70+ payment providers and runs in a multi-brand, multi-currency, high-load environment.
It's part of a distributed platform of independent microservices communicating through dedicated SDKs.
We're looking for a backend developer to strengthen the team: onboarding new providers, evolving the core payment-processing engine, and maintaining the reliability of a business-critical service where mistakes cost real money.
Responsibilities
- Onboarding and maintaining payment provider integrations (billing-class pattern + aggregator layer)
- Developing and supporting deposit, withdrawal, and currency-management functionality
- Evolving the core payment-processing engine and multi-brand payment-system configuration
- Designing database schemas and optimizing query performance
- Writing clean, testable code with unit and feature test coverage (PHPUnit / Laravel Test)
- Following code style (Laravel Pint) and passing static analysis (PHPStan)
- Participating in code reviews, diagnosing and resolving production incidents
- Collaborating with adjacent services through SDKs (bank, users, bonus, notifications)
Requirements
- 5+ years of commercial PHP experience, confident with PHP 8.1+
- Strong Laravel knowledge (Eloquent, queues, events/listeners, service container, facades, middleware)
- Solid MySQL: schema design, query optimization, indexing, partitioning, master/slave (read/write) splitting
- Designing and integrating REST APIs, working with third-party HTTP APIs (Guzzle), handling callbacks and webhooks
- Understanding of precise monetary arithmetic (bcmath; no floats in financial calculations)
- Experience with message queues (RabbitMQ / AMQP) for asynchronous processing
- Docker and working in a containerized environment
- Git, teamwork with feature branches and code review
- Familiarity with design patterns (Strategy, Factory, Facade) and SOLID principles
- English sufficient to read technical documentation
Nice to Have
- Experience in fintech / payment systems / iGaming, familiarity with payment flows and reconciliation
- Experience integrating crypto payments
- Experience with multi-tenant / multi-brand architectures
- Static analysis (PHPStan) and a strong automated-testing culture
- Experience with distributed systems and event-driven architecture
- Awareness of security and compliance requirements in payments
We Offer
- Flexible work setup - work remotely or from the office, we focus on results, not location
- Support for a comfortable work environment - we compensate coworking expenses and EcoFlow power stations to help our team stay productive during power outages in Ukraine
- Unlimited vacation and sick leave, because we trust our people to manage their time responsibly
- Relocation support for team members who want to move
- Regular performance-based bonuses that reward individual and team impact
- Learning support - we cover 50% of professional courses and development programs
- Language & wellbeing support - we cover 50% of English classes and psychological consultations
- Career growth opportunities - we prioritize internal promotions and development
- Team culture that actually feels like one - regular gifts, company merch, and team events throughout the year
- Real impact - we are small enough for every voice to be heard and big enough to turn great ideas into action quickly
