Laravel & Vue.js Developer

We are looking for a driven Associate Laravel Developer to join Appsians — a bootstrapped, profitable software and product company building SaaS tools and client solutions used by global brands. You will work on production Laravel applications from day one: designing APIs, structuring databases, and building cleanfrontend interfaces with React or Vue. This is a hands-on engineering role with real ownership, not

busywork.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and maintain Laravel-based web applications and RESTful APIs
• Write well-structured Eloquent models, relationships, and migrations
• Implement authentication systems, role-based access control (RBAC), and middleware logic
• Create and consume APIs with proper validation, error handling, and response formatting
• Build React or Vue frontend components and integrate them cleanly with Laravel backends
• Design normalized database schemas and write optimized SQL queries
• Participate in code reviews, maintain code quality, and write meaningful tests
• Debug issues in staging and production environments efficiently
• Collaborate with designers and product managers to ship features end-to-end

Technical Requirements:

Laravel / PHP:
- Strong grasp of Laravel's MVC pattern, service container, and dependency injection. - - - - - Comfortable with Eloquent ORM — relationships (hasMany,belongsToMany, polymorphic), eager loading, scopes, and accessors/mutators.
- Experience with migrations, seeders, factories, and artisan commands.
- Understands middleware, form request validation, resource controllers, and Laravel's queue/job system.

Database (MySQL /PostgreSQL):

- Ability to design normalized relational schemas (1NF–3NF). Writes efficient raw
- SQL and understands when to use it over Eloquent.
- Familiar with indexes, foreign keys, transactions, and query optimization via EXPLAIN. - ---- Experience with seeding realistic test data and writing complex joins and subqueries. Bonus: Redis for caching and session management.

React or Vue:

- Builds functional components using hooks (useState, useEffect, useContext,

useRef).
- Understands component lifecycle, controlled vs. uncontrolled inputs, and prop drilling vs. context. Fetches and handles API data using Axios or Fetch.
- Familiar with basic state patterns and routing with React Router.
- Able to break UI designs into reusable component trees.
- Frontend Fundamentals Solid HTML5 and CSS3 — semantic markup, flexbox, grid, and responsive design.
- Proficient with Tailwind CSS utility classes for rapid UI development.
- Understands how JavaScript interacts with the DOM. Familiar with form handling, client-side validation, and loading/error states.
Inertia.js or Livewire experience is a significant plus.

Version Control & Workflow:

- Comfortable with Git day-to-day — branching strategy (feature branches, PRs), rebasing, resolving conflicts, and writing meaningful commit messages.
- Experience with GitHub or GitLab for collaborative development and code reviews.

AI-Assisted Development:

- Comfortable using Cursor, Copilot, or similar tools as productivity aids.
- Treats AI output as a starting point — always reviews, tests, and takes ownership of codebefore shipping.
- This is a workflow preference, not a core requirement.

Nice to Have:

• Inertia.js or Livewire for server-driven frontend rendering
• Experience with Cloudflare R2, AWS S3, or similar object storage
• Exposure to Electron or cross-platform desktop app development
• Basic understanding of Docker for local development environments
• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, etc.)

What We Offer:

• Work on real products with real users — no practice projects, no filler tasks
• Direct mentorship from senior engineers with strong product and technical experience
• Competitive associate-level compensation reviewed every 6 months
• Clear growth path to mid-level Laravel Developer within 12–18 months
• Low-bureaucracy environment with high individual ownership
