Description
We’re looking for an AI-first Full-Stack Developer who ships product end-to-end — Laravel on the backend, Vue 3 on the frontend — and treats AI as the primary way to get there. This role is focused on building merchant-facing tools where speed, creativity, and AI-native workflows matter more than traditional engineering process.

Location
This is a hybrid role based in West Palm Beach. Candidates must be able to be in the office at least 3 days per week.
What You’ll Do
- Ship full-stack features end-to-end — from Laravel API to Vue 3 UI — using AI-native workflows as your default mode of building
- Build merchant-facing tools that leverage AI to generate creative assets, automate workflows, and solve real e-commerce problems
- Vibe code aggressively — prototype fast, validate with real users, iterate. Speed over perfection, always
- Stay ahead of the AI tooling curve — evaluate new coding agents, testing frameworks, and generation tools, then bring the best ones into the team’s stack
- Own quality for AI-generated code — establish review practices, testing standards, and guardrails that let us ship fast without breaking things
- Collaborate with product, design, and backend teams to turn ideas into shipped features quickly
Tech Stack
- Backend: Laravel (PHP 8+), PostgreSQL, Redis, REST APIs
- Frontend: Vue 3, Pinia, Vue Router, Tailwind, Sass
- Build: Laravel Mix, Webpack
- AI Tools: Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, AI testing frameworks
- Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, CI/CD
What We’re Looking For
- Demonstrated, daily use of AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Codex, or similar) — not just experimenting, actually shipping with them
- Full-stack experience with Laravel + a modern JS framework (Vue preferred, React acceptable)
- Deep curiosity about AI-driven development — you follow the space, try new tools the week they drop, and have opinions on what actually works
- Experience with AI agents for coding, AI-driven testing, or vibe coding workflows
- 3+ years of professional full-stack development with solid PHP and JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals
- Comfortable designing REST APIs, working with relational databases, and managing state on the frontend
- Ability to read, review, and improve both human-written and AI-generated code
Nice to Have
- Experience building AI-powered product features (generative content, recommendation engines, automation tools)
- Familiarity with e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Clickfunnels, fulfillment systems)
- Experience integrating LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) into production applications
- Experience with queue systems, event-driven architecture, or background job processing in Laravel
Benefits
- Flexible PTO
- Benefits package, including 100% employer-paid medical, dental, vision, and life insurance coverage for employees
- 401(k) retirement plan with employer match to support your long-term financial goals
- Career development and growth opportunities
- A collaborative and inclusive work environment
- Work on AI-powered product features that ship directly to thousands of merchants — not internal tooling, real customer impact
