LendhaLagos, Nigeria Software Development
Full Time
Get Quick Access To Loans To Pay House Rent, Finance Lifestyle Or Emergency At A Low Rate. Up To N 3,000,000 | No Paper Work

Qualifications

  • We are looking for a disciplined Backend Developer who lives and breathes clean code. At Lendha, we don't "test later."
  • You are someone whose default workflow begins with a failing test  (TDD).
  • You should be a firm advocate for SOLID principles and DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) architecture, ensuring our codebase remains scalable, maintainable, and elegant.
  • While your primary focus is the backend, you understand that a great API is only as good as its integration. Familiarity with modern frontend workflows allows you to build better contracts between the server and the UI.

Key Responsibilities

  • Architect & Develop: Design and maintain robust, scalable backend services using Laravel.
  • TDD Mandate: Write unit, integration, and feature tests as a primary part of the development process.
  • Clean Code: Apply SOLID principles to decouple logic and ensure the codebase is easy to refactor.
  • API Design: Build and document RESTful APIs that power our React-based frontend applications.
  • Optimization: Identify and fix bottlenecks, ensuring high performance and responsiveness of the application.
  • Collaboration: Partner with frontend engineers to ensure API responses align with component needs.

Technical Requirements
Core Requirements (The "Must-Haves")

  • PHP Mastery: 3+ years of professional experience with PHP and the Laravel framework.
  • Testing Pro: Mastery of PHPUnit or Pest. You should be comfortable explaining why TDD saves time in the long run.
  • Design Patterns: Deep understanding of SOLID principles, Dependency Injection, and Repository patterns.
  • Database Mastery: Advanced knowledge of MySQL/PostgreSQL, including queryoptimization and schema design.
  • Tooling: Experience with Git, Docker, and CI/CD pipelines.

Bonus Points (The "Nice-to-Haves")

We don't expect you to build the UI, but we value "Frontend Empathy." Experience with thefollowing is a huge plus:

  • React & TypeScript: Understanding how state management and types work on thefrontend to build better API contracts.
  • Component-Driven Development (CDD): Familiarity with building UIs in isolation (e.g.,Storybook) to understand how data is consumed at the atom/molecule level.

Soft Skills

  • The "Lendha" Mindset: A proactive problem-solver who doesn't wait for permission to improve a legacy module.
  • Full-Stack Communication: The ability to speak the same language as frontend developers to minimize friction during integration.
  • Detail-Oriented: You care about the "small things" like naming conventions and consistent API response structures.
