Full Stack Developer/Growth Engineer

We’re Akiflow, a fast-growing productivity startup, and we’re seeking a Full Stack Developer / Growth Engineer to take ownership of our web projects, marketing funnels, integrations, and more.

This is not just a “build the feature and move on” developer job. It’s a critical role that blends technical development with growth-focused, marketing-driven initiatives. You will work closely with both the technical and marketing teams to help Akiflow scale, improve performance, and reach more users.

We want someone smart, fast, proactive, and sharp — someone who enjoys solving problems, thinking on their feet, and making a real impact.

Why This Role Is Unique

• Not your typical developer job: This role works deeply with the marketing team on tracking, SEO, speed optimization, conversion funnels, and marketing-focused projects. Many developers shy away from this, but here, it’s core.
• We need someone sharp and quick: We look for people who are not just technically competent but can think fast, react fast, and solve problems quickly. We will assess this early in the process through how you approach questions, how proactive you are, and how cleverly you think through challenges.
• We are seeking senior candidates who can bring the level of complexity handling, autonomy, and ownership that this role requires. We value senior-level experience because we believe it’s essential for driving the impact we want to achieve.

Role & Responsibilities

• Maintain, improve, and scale Akiflow’s websites, landing pages, and marketing funnels
• Ensure mobile adaptation, speed optimization, technical SEO, analytics tracking (Google Analytics, Mixpanel), and best practices
• Work closely with the marketing team to deliver technical solutions that drive user growth and business outcomes
• Develop and integrate backend solutions, including REST APIs (e.g., Stripe, PayPal, etc.)
• Suggest and implement innovative features, tools, and optimizations
• Occasionally provide direct technical support to customers

What We’re Looking For

• 5–7+ years PHP development experience
• 3–5 years Laravel framework experience (important)
• 2–3+ years ReactJS experience
• Strong front-end skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React best practices)
• Solid experience developing and integrating REST APIs and services
• Strong knowledge of marketing-focused areas: technical SEO, tracking, speed optimization, analytics
• At least basic Docker experience
• Familiarity with shell commands and Git
• Excellent English (written and spoken)
• Bonus: prior remote work experience, prior startup experience, based in or near European time zones

Who You Are

• You enjoy working alongside marketing teams, supporting their needs, and delivering growth-focused solutions
• You are proactive, fast-moving, and sharp-minded; you do not wait to be told what to do, you anticipate and act
• You have a passion for UX/UI, performance, and seamless, scalable solutions

What We Watch For in Interviews

1. Your technical expertise and hands-on knowledge of PHP, Laravel, React, REST APIs, and related tools
2. Your ability to break down technical challenges and explain your approach clearly
3. How fast you think and solve problems, both technically and strategically
4. How sharp, clever, and thoughtful your responses are
5. How proactive you are in identifying solutions and improvements
6. Whether you bring not just technical knowledge but also real energy, ownership, and drive
