Apply for this roleDescription
Webenia is hiring a Senior Laravel Backend Engineer to design and ship production APIs that power our clients’ digital products across Egypt and the UAE.
You will own domain modules end-to-end: data models, services, public API contracts, Filament admin workflows, OpenAPI documentation, and automated tests — with a strong focus on clean architecture and security.
This role suits someone who enjoys mentoring mid-level engineers, reviewing pull requests carefully, and turning ambiguous product needs into stable, versioned APIs.
Requirements
- 5+ years of professional PHP experience, including 3+ years with Laravel
- Strong grasp of REST API design, Form Requests, Eloquent, queues, and caching
- Experience with MySQL schema design, migrations, and query performance
- Familiarity with Filament (or similar admin panels) and Spatie packages
- Comfortable writing PHPUnit feature tests and maintaining OpenAPI/docs
- Solid understanding of authz (policies/roles), validation, and secure file handling
- Fluent English for documentation and client-facing technical discussions; Arabic is a plus
Responsibilities
- Build and evolve Laravel domain modules (Services, CRM, Careers, Settings, and more)
- Design public /api/v1 endpoints with clear envelopes, validation, and error contracts
- Implement Filament resources/actions aligned with Shield permissions
- Keep OpenAPI JSON/YAML and /docs/api in sync after API changes
- Write and maintain feature tests for happy paths, edge cases, and authz rules
- Review code for N+1 risks, security issues, and architectural consistency
- Collaborate with frontend (Next.js) engineers on integration contracts and handoff notes
