Mindpool is at the forefront of enabling a connected future of more proactive, inclusive, and smart decision-making in any organization.


Many think that they know how to architect and build good Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platforms.  You know how to architect and build good SaaS platforms.  You make complex features, DevOps (optionally data pipelines) and large user bases look easy, or even less complex in the first place.  You may have built successful Saas platforms once or twice before already.  

As a Senior Laravel Backend developer, you’ll help us to build onto our intelligent Software-as-a-Service platform that helps organizations tap into the knowledge of their employees - their collective intelligence.  We use this wisdom to help organizations to predict what’s ahead and how to respond. 

We are interested primarily in someone who can use a mixture of next-level code, architecture, and teamwork to make high-stakes technical decisions about our platform with good buy-in from the team.  We are also happy to hear from you if you prefer to just code with your headphones on all day. 

We will consider fully remote work for truly exceptional candidates.

Who are we?

Founded by serial-entrepreneur Mik Thobo-Carlsen, Bjarke Ingels, and Dr. Carina Antonia Hallin with years of research into Collective Intelligence, Mindpool is a Software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform on a mission to be the global leader in the world’s combined human intelligence and computers for efficient, inclusive, and smarter decision-making.
