REMOTE GLOBAL | HelpBnk
About us At HelpBnk, we don’t just build software; we build infrastructure for a future where everyone has the agency to follow their dreams. Co-founded by Simon Squibb, we are on a mission to Free Humanity from the trap of unfulfilling work and the looming challenges of AI-driven automation. We are a high-growth startup under the Dream Inc umbrella, creating a social platform and business-starting tools that empower people to take control of their lives. If you are tired of "just a job" and want to fight for something that matters, read on. Our Culture
- Ownership. We're small, so there's a lot of open ground. If you spot something broken, you're the one who gets to fix it. That's the good part and the hard part.
- Openness. Problems get named early, including our own. We'd rather have an uncomfortable conversation on Monday than a bad quarter.
- AI as a tool. We build with agentic AI (Claude Code, Cursor, and whatever comes next). We're not looking for people who let it write the code unsupervised, or for people who won't touch it. We're looking for people who've worked out where it helps and where it lies to you.
- Interesting problems. The work here is genuinely unsolved in places. If you like that, you'll like it here. If you'd rather have a well-defined roadmap and a clear spec, we're probably not the right fit for eachother.
The ChallengeAs a Senior Laravel Developer, you will be part of HelpBnk's core. You are responsible for the realization of all business logic and creating APIs that power our native apps.
What You’ll Do
- Architect scalable Laravel applications following Domain-Driven Design (DDD) principles.
- Refactor and rebuild features to ensure our architecture supports international adventures.
- Implement event-driven architectures, handle OAuth2 flows, and optimize complex MySQL schemas.
- AI Orchestration: Use agentic AI to automate testing, document architecture, and accelerate feature development.
Before You Start
- 5+ years of heavy Laravel experience (PHP 8.4+, Laravel 11).
- Deep understanding of SQL, queue systems, caching and security patterns.
- Extensive experience with testing (PHPUnit) and CI/CD pipelines.
