Job Description

Technology

Until just over two years ago, our platform was entirely powered by a Drupal backend and native applications. A foundation that helped establish iDoctus M3 as a leader. However, as technical debt accumulated over time, we recognized the need for modernization. Today, we are employing a strangler architectural pattern to incrementally transform our platform without disrupting our ongoing operations.

We are migrating our apps to Flutter and our backend to Laravel.

• The apps are well advanced, and we expect to have them ready by Q2 of this year.
• The new backend is already handling some requests and syncing key data, but there’s still a lot of work ahead.

We take stability and maintainability seriously.

For backend we use:

• Our architecture is inspired by Clean Architecture, designed to keep our code structured while harnessing the full power of Laravel. To keep domain logic clean and intuitive, we apply the Action Pattern.
• Our stack includes PostgreSQL (relational database), Redis (cache & queues), and ClickHouse (analytics database).
• We use Horizon for queue management and Filament for the back-office.
• We keep our tools up to date, currently running Laravel 11.36.1 and PHP 8.3, with plans to upgrade to 8.4 soon.

Responsibilities

• Develop robust, maintainable, and scalable software following best practices.
• Contribute to defining and leading solutions to make iDoctus even better.
• Own and lead key projects that drive the company’s growth.
• Implement, maintain, and improve API endpoints, the back-office, and internal tools.
• Promote testing and refactoring to ensure high-quality code.
• Support, mentor, and learn from fellow team members.
• Communicate clearly and effectively with teammates.
• Contribute to and maintain documentation in Notion and other relevant platforms.

Qualifications
