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
