26025 - RWV – Lead Backend Engineer (PHP / Laravel)– Muscat

We're hiring a **Lead Backend Engineer** to lead the team that builds and maintains our backend platform. This is a hands-on role — you'll write production PHP and Laravel code while setting technical direction, mentoring engineers, and owning the quality and architecture of what your team ships.

You'll work closely with Product, Frontend, DevOps, and QA to deliver reliable, scalable systems, and you'll be the person who makes the hard architectural calls and keeps the team moving. The right person is equally at home in a code review, a system-design discussion, and a one-on-one.
