About DigiFist
At DigiFist, we build scalable SaaS products for e-commerce. One of our key initiatives is a marketing & WhatsApp marketing platform with multiple modules, tightly integrated with Shopify, and delivered through a distributed app store model. We're looking for a strong Senior Developer who can take ownership and help us build a robust, scalable product foundation.
What you'll do
As a Senior Laravel Developer, you'll work on the core backend of our SaaS applications and help design a platform built for scale.
* Build and maintain production-grade Laravel backends (API-first)
* Design and implement complex integrations (Shopify, external services, webhooks, queues, event-driven flows)
* Contribute to architecture decisions (scalability, security, performance, maintainability)
* Develop modular systems across multiple product modules
* Collaborate with frontend teams using React to deliver clean end-to-end user flows
* Write clean code, perform code reviews, and uphold engineering standards (tests, CI/CD, best practices)
Who we're looking for (must-haves)
You're truly senior: you don't just "code"—you design, think ahead, and deliver reliably.
* 5+ years of hands-on experience with Laravel/PHP in production
* Proven track record across multiple Laravel projects, with clear ownership and impact
* Strong experience with complex system integrations (APIs, OAuth, webhooks, third-party services)
* Solid knowledge of queues/jobs, caching, and performance optimization
* Strong understanding of database design (migrations, indexing, scalable data structures)
* Great communication, ownership mindset, and ability to work independently
Nice-to-haves (big plus)
* Comfortable with React (able to collaborate closely; optionally pick up frontend tasks when needed)
* Experience building Shopify apps (GraphQL/REST, App Bridge, webhooks, billing is a plus)
* Experience with messaging/automation ecosystems (WhatsApp providers, marketing automation concepts)
* DevOps mindset: Docker, CI/CD, monitoring, logging
* Experience with multi-tenant SaaS, modular monoliths, or microservices
Tech stack (indicative)
* Laravel / PHP, MySQL or PostgreSQL
* Background jobs / queues (e.g., Redis), events & webhooks
* React frontend and API integrations
* Shopify integration + distributed app store structure
What we offer
* High-impact work on a product with real complexity and ownership
* Direct influence on architecture and roadmap
* A pragmatic team focused on quality + execution
* Hybrid/remote flexibility
* Competitive compensation (depending on freelance vs permanent setup)
