About Optimum7

Optimum7 is a performance-driven digital agency operating at the intersection of eCommerce, AI, and growth marketing. Led by our founder Duran Inci (20+ years in digital innovation), we build scalable, custom solutions for global brands.

We are not just building software — we are building AI-powered systems that redefine how eCommerce operates.

What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a Senior Backend Developer who doesn’t just code — but engineers intelligent systems.

This role is heavily AI-focused.

You must be comfortable working with:

LLMs in production

AI-assisted development workflows

Claude (Anthropic) for coding, reasoning, and system design

👉 Claude usage is not optional — it is a core requirement.

We expect you to:

Use Claude Code to accelerate development

Design systems with AI as a layer, not an add-on

Leverage AI tools to improve speed, quality, and architecture decisions

Key Responsibilities

Design and build scalable backend systems & microservices

Develop RESTful APIs & GraphQL architectures

Integrate LLMs (OpenAI, Claude) into real-world eCommerce solutions

Use Claude Code actively in development workflows for:

Code generation & optimization

Debugging complex systems

Architectural reasoning

Implement AI-powered features (automation, personalization, search, agents)

Optimize performance (Redis, caching layers, async processing)

Work with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines

Ensure high reliability, scalability, and security

Collaborate in a fast-paced, AI-first engineering culture

Must-Have Skills

PHP (6+ years) – modern PHP (8.2+)

Laravel (4+ years) – Laravel 10/11+

Strong JavaScript / TypeScript (3+ years)

Advanced MySQL / PostgreSQL optimization

Solid experience with REST & GraphQL APIs

Hands-on experience with Claude (Anthropic) for coding

Experience integrating LLMs into production systems

AI-assisted development mindset (non-negotiable)

Docker & containerization

CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)

Cloud platforms (AWS / GCP / Azure)

Message queues (RabbitMQ, SQS, Redis Queue)

Caching systems (Redis, Varnish)

Git workflows (GitFlow / trunk-based)

Strong English communication

Tech Stack

Backend: PHP 8.2+, Laravel 11+, Node.js
Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
Cloud: AWS / GCP / Azure
DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
APIs: REST, GraphQL
AI: OpenAI, Claude (core tool), LangChain, Vector DBs

What Makes This Role Different

This is not a traditional backend role.

You will:

Work in an AI-native engineering environment

Use Claude as a daily coding partner

Build systems where AI is embedded in the architecture

Move fast, experiment, and ship intelligent products
