Baltic LEI AS

A backend developer at Baltic LEI plays a critical role in the success of the business. You will be part of a small tight-knit team, helping make decisions about technical implementations and business processes, as well as implementing and maintaining features.

TASKS:

A developer working in our team is responsible for their features from beginning to end. That means his work involves:

1. Identifying technical requirements (spec) with the business team and other developers and writing them down
2. Software development based on the requirements (coding in Laravel - PHP)
3. Writing automated tests for self-written code
4. Manual testing
5. Code deployment
6. Feature monitoring in the weeks following deployment

In the process, the Developer is supported by other members of the development and business team.

The work involves deeply immersing yourself in a large existing application with complex business logic.

REQUIREMENTS:

• At least 5 years of experience in software development
• At least 3y experience with Laravel
• Systemic problem-solving skills
• Ability to learn independently
• Consistency and patience. We solve difficult tasks
• Sometimes it takes days or weeks to figure out, to gather, and organize information

WE OFFER:

• Friendly supportive team of brilliant young individuals
• Relaxed working environment, focused on learning and delivering
• Sustainable workload - 30 real work hours/week (overtime is discouraged)
• No time spent on BS - only one tech team meeting per week, no bureaucracy
• Flexible schedule

At Baltic LEI, we're building tools that make global entity verification and compliance simpler, smarter, and scalable. We’re now looking for a Tech Lead to take ownership of one of our most challenging and promising backend projects — a technically complex system that we’re developing into a new standalone business vertical.
 

As Tech Lead, you’ll work hands-on in our Laravel codebase, guide architectural and technical decisions, and coordinate the efforts of other developers. You'll collaborate closely with the CTO and business team to ensure we’re building the right thing — and building it right.

What You’ll Do:

• Write code — primarily in Laravel (PHP), with MongoDB and Elasticsearch
• Own the tech direction — collaborate with the CTO and senior engineers to shape architecture and technical approaches
• Lead & grow the team — provide direction, code reviews, and mentorship to other developers
• Translate ideas into specs — work closely with the business team to clarify needs and write actionable specifications
• Ship features — ensure quality by writing automated tests, performing manual QA, and monitoring live performance
• Grow the product — help turn this project into a scalable product and a successful business vertical

About You:

• You’re a senior backend developer with strong Laravel experience
• You think in systems and patterns, not just in tickets
• You’ve led or mentored teams before, formally or informally
• You enjoy diving deep into complex domains and untangling messy business logic
• You’re curious about product and business strategy, not just code
• You take responsibility — when something breaks, you’re the kind of person who finds out why

Why This Role is Exciting:

• You’ll be working on a project that’s core to our business growth — not a side feature
• The codebase is complex and interesting — it will challenge your skills
• Your decisions will have direct impact — technically, organizationally, and commercially
• You’ll work in a tight-knit team that values autonomy, clarity, and good judgment
