We're looking for a mature, Senior/Lead PHP Engineer with deep Laravel expertise and hands-on experience building or integrating agentic AI systems. You'll take ownership of complex backend features end-to-end, mentor other engineers, and help shape how AI-driven automation and agents fit into our product and internal workflows.

About the client

Our client is a leading online car marketplace group operating across Europe and North America, bringing together market-leading brands to shape the future of our industry by combining the best of both regions.

What You'll Do

- Design, build, and maintain robust backend services and APIs using PHP and Laravel

- Integrate and orchestrate agentic AI workflows (e.g., LLM-based agents, tool-calling pipelines, autonomous task runners) into existing products or internal tooling
- Improve system performance, reliability, and security across the stack
- Stay current with the PHP/Laravel ecosystem and emerging agentic AI tools and patterns

What You Need to Succeed:

- Strong communication skills and the judgment to work independently on ambiguous problems
- Hands-on GenAI experience — you've built with LLM APIs, tool/function calling, retrieval, agents, or agent frameworks and put them into real workflows.
- Modern AI coding tools (e.g., Claude Code, Codex) are part of how you work day to day.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills — you work well in a team, share your opinions clearly, and can move a topic forward with people across functions.
- Solid engineering fundamentals: testing, debugging, code quality, and getting things production-ready.
