Senior Software Engineer (Integrations, Laravel/PHP)
Details
Senior Software Engineer with 20+ years of experience building backend systems, integrations, and developer tooling.
I design and own integrations end to end: underdocumented third-party APIs, custom authentication, webhook delivery, queued workflows, deduplication, and idempotent processing.
I make those systems easier to change through tests, CI, clear boundaries, and delivery habits that keep production boring in the useful way. Based in Copenhagen; open to remote roles across Europe/EMEA.
The practical mix is stronger than the title makes it look.
