We are looking for a passionate and highly experienced Senior Backend Developer specializing in Laravel to join our dynamic team at Moxso. As a senior member of our development team, you will play a key role in shaping our technical direction, driving architectural decisions, and mentoring colleagues, while contributing directly to the growth and success of our product. We value empowerment and autonomy and believe that the best results are achieved through effective communication and flexible workflows rather than long, exhaustive planning meetings.

Who are you?

We value passion and curiosity over formal education. Whether you're a computer scientist or a self-taught developer, it’s your enthusiasm and proven expertise that count. As a senior backend developer, we expect you to be deeply passionate about technology and innovation, comfortable taking ownership of complex challenges, and confident in guiding others. You thrive when learning new things, mentoring teammates, and contributing both technically and strategically. You see AI not as a buzzword, but as a practical tool for improving workflows, boosting productivity, and building smarter products that customers truly love.

Product understanding

An important part of the senior backend developer role is a deep understanding of our product and our customers’ needs. We expect you to go beyond coding by contributing to product development with insights and ideas. You must be able to put yourself in the customer’s shoes and translate business objectives into technical solutions that create measurable value. This includes using modern approaches like AI-assisted development and data-driven insights to ensure that our technology choices consistently enhance the user experience and business impact. Your ability to think strategically, evaluate trade-offs, and align technical decisions with business priorities is crucial.

What we offer

As part of our compact but highly specialized team, you will have a unique opportunity to work closely with leadership and influence our technical and product roadmap. Furthermore, you can look forward to:

• Significant influence on technology choices and architecture.

• Independent projects where you can make a lasting impact.

• Opportunities to mentor and spar with colleagues.

• Access to the latest technologies and tools, including AI-powered development solutions.

• Delicious lunch every day, breakfast every Friday, and an amazing location in the heart of Christianshavn.

• A fun social culture with activities like our running club, sauna gus, and Friday bars.

We envision that you:

• Have 7+ years of professional experience developing with Laravel or similar PHP frameworks, including leading complex projects.

• Have extensive experience designing, building, and maintaining RESTful APIs at scale.

• Are highly skilled with relational databases such as MySQL or PostgreSQL, including optimization, migrations, and scaling strategies.

• Have strong experience with version control via GitHub or GitLab and collaborative workflows.

• Know how to integrate AI into your workflow and solutions to maximize efficiency and deliver products that resonate with customers.

• Are comfortable making architecture and system design decisions and ensuring long-term maintainability.

• Have experience mentoring, code reviewing, and setting best practices for teams.

• Have strong communication skills, with the ability to bridge business and technical perspectives.

It is an advantage if you have:

• Solid experience with DevOps practices, cloud platforms, CI/CD pipelines, or observability tools.

• Demonstrated leadership skills with the ability to manage projects, guide teams, and foster alignment across cross-functional groups.

• A track record of contributing to strategic technical decisions in a high-growth environment.
