PHP Laravel Developer

About the Role

SwitchKart is on a mission to make technology more accessible and more sustainable — we're in the business of recommerce, giving old smartphones a second life, cutting down e-waste, and extending the lifecycle of every device we touch.

We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to help us build and scale the ecosystem of platforms powering this mission — from our procurement app to our retailer app, pricing engines, and warranty systems. You'll take ownership of complex features end-to-end, mentor junior engineers, and make architectural decisions that shape how we grow.

What You'll Do

• Own Features End-to-End: Design, build, and ship full stack features across our procurement, retailer, pricing, and warranty platforms — from database schema to UI polish.

• Drive Architecture: Make key technical decisions on system design, scalability, and code structure as our ecosystem of apps grows.

• Build AI-First: Design and build systems with AI at the core — not bolted on. Think about where AI can automate, assist, or enhance the products you're building from day one.

• Build Scalable Architecture: Build and monitor a highly performant, failure-resistant platform — we take pride in doing this with a small, high-ownership team.

• Automate and Integrate: Develop tools that automate our integration processes and build data pipelines across our app ecosystem.

• Foster Technical Excellence: Champion unit and integration testing and lead meaningful code reviews across the team.

• Prototype and Validate: Create interactive prototypes to prove out technical concepts and participate in pilots for new initiatives.

• Mentor the Team: Guide junior developers through code reviews, pairing, and technical direction.

• Report Upward: Provide regular updates to management on milestones, risks, issues, and mitigation plans.

• Collaborate Cross-Functionally: Work closely with product and design to translate requirements into robust technical solutions across multiple products.

What We're Looking For

Must Have

• 4+ years of full stack development experience

• Strong proficiency in React and Node.js

• Solid experience with PostgreSQL or MySQL — schema design, query optimisation

• Experience designing and scaling production systems

• Experience deploying and managing applications on a cloud platform (AWS/GCP or similar)

• Comfortable owning a feature from concept to deployment

• Strong debugging and problem-solving skills

Good to Have

• Experience mentoring or leading junior engineers

• Track record of driving scalability and time-to-market in past cloud architecture decisions

• Exposure to CI/CD pipelines

• Experience with Docker, NoSQL databases, or distributed caching

• Experience integrating third-party REST/SOAP APIs

• Experience in a fast-moving startup environment

Why SwitchKart

• Real ownership over architecture and technical direction.

• Access to the latest AI coding agents and tools — we invest in keeping our engineers on the cutting edge.

• Work on a genuinely differentiated business with measurable impact.

• Be part of a lean team where your decisions shape the product.

• Opportunity to mentor and grow the engineering team.
