Senior Software Engineer, Infrastructure (APAC)

Job Description

Laravel is looking for the next Senior Infrastructure Engineer to join our all-remote Laravel Nightwatch and Cloud infrastructure team. For this role we're only considering applications in the UTC+8 to UTC+12 timezone. We're on a mission to improve the experience of developers everywhere in the world. To do so, we don't only need to build beautiful software products, we also need to have a solid infrastructure foundation. We always look at products end-to-end when we build something new, and love to keep our users front and center regardless of which part of the product we're building, so we are not only looking for a person who knows how to work with cloud providers and infrastructure, but someone who is able to have empathy for our users and wants to build the best possible products possible.

We're tackling some ambitious and exciting infrastructure projects, and we are looking for a colleague who can help us succeed with the mission - not just solve infrastructure problems. We are looking for someone who is pragmatic and a team player, someone who knows the best practices, but also knows when a custom solution is required. If these things appeal to you, then please come join us on this exciting journey!

For this role, we are specifically looking for someone to join the Infrastructure team, working on our Laravel Nightwatch and Laravel Cloud platforms. Laravel Nightwatch is a monitoring service for Laravel applications featuring real-time request monitoring, exception tracking, logs, insights, and more. Laravel Cloud is a fully managed infrastructure platform built for developers and teams who just want to ship their next big idea. Both platforms are relentlessly optimized for Laravel and PHP.
