Laravel web-developer

Senior Laravel and Go developer, long-term contract. Affiliate marketing SaaS, iGaming clients. We're a small contracting outfit. Most of our clients are in iGaming affiliate marketing: affiliate networks, a few large publishers, and the in-house affiliate programs of operators. Over the years some of that client work turned into SaaS products that we now maintain and run ourselves, mostly around tracking, attribution and commission reporting. We need one more senior developer to share that load, on a contract basis, for a long time if it works out. Laravel carries the application side: affiliate and advertiser portals, admin panels, the APIs, commission and payout logic, and the importers that pull player activity out of operator reporting systems in whatever shape they export it. Go carries the parts that have to be fast and never fall over: click and redirect handling, postback ingestion, deduplication, and the event pipeline behind the reports. Postgres on most projects, MySQL on the older ones, Redis, ClickHouse for reporting where the volumes justify it. Containers everywhere, Kubernetes for the larger clients and plain Docker on VMs for the rest, Terraform and Ansible underneath. GitLab CI. Grafana and Prometheus for monitoring, plus whatever the client already had. What we're looking for You've spent years in production with both Laravel and Go and can switch between them in the same week. You've written and operated a Go service that took tens of thousands of requests a second. On the Laravel side you know the framework deeply, including where its conventions stop being helpful, and you keep PHPStan strict and the tests running because the codebases we inherit rarely came with either. You understand affiliate tracking properly. First and last click, cookie and click windows, server-to-server postbacks versus pixels. Money math where rounding matters is routine for you, and you'd never store it as a float. Enterprise-grade, for us, means our clients audit us. You should be comfortable answering a security questionnaire honestly, keeping audit logs a compliance officer can read, handling personal data under GDPR without being reminded, and deploying in a way that can be rolled back at two in the morning. Useful but not required: integration experience with established affiliate platforms such as MyAffiliates, Income Access, NetRefer, Cellxpert or Affilka. Also WordPress at scale for content sites, GA4 with BigQuery, and Metabase.
