Orange group operates from Lagos, Nigeria and for such a fast-paced, entrepreneurial business; some are surprised to learn our company's history spans over 25 years of innovation for consumers in West Africa. With a wholly- Nigerian heritage, Orange Group's drive for financial performance and excellent product delivery today can be seen in its deep roots - as shown in this timeline: 1988 Orange Drugs Limited (ODL) is registered and incorporated. 1994/1995 ODL is awarded "Star Donor Award" by the Pharmaceutical society of Nigeria. 2001 ODL is relocated from 4B Okupe Estate to 66/67 Town Planning Way, Ilupeju, Lagos. 2001-2005 Orange Kalbe Limited (OKL) is incorporated. 2006 Orange West Africa Limited (OWAL) and Orange Beauty Care (OBC) is incorporated. 2007 Orange Group begins its regional expansion by incorporating its first overseas business in Accra, Ghana.
Read This First
This is not a “CRUD Laravel developer” role.
We are looking for a backend-heavy engineer who can design systems, make architectural decisions, and own production systems under real-world pressure.
If your experience is mostly:
- Basic Laravel apps
- Tutorials or bootcamp-level projects
- Copy-pasting solutions without understanding trade-offs
This role is not for you.
What You’ll Actually Be Doing
- Designing and scaling high-performance backend systems
- Building robust APIs used by web and mobile apps
- Solving real-world problems: performance bottlenecks, concurrency, data integrity
- Owning system architecture decisions, not just implementation
- Working on systems that must handle growth, transactions, and reliability
What We Expect (Non-Negotiable)
You should be able to confidently:
- Design a backend system from scratch (not just follow patterns)
- Explain why you chose a particular architecture
- Optimize slow queries and debug production issues
- Implement queues, caching, and background processing properly
- Think in terms of scalability, fault tolerance, and trade-offs
Core Stack
- Laravel (Primary)
- PHP (Advanced level)
- MySQL / PostgreSQL
- REST APIs (GraphQL is a plus)
- AWS / Cloud Infrastructure
- Docker & CI/CD
Strong Signals (What Will Make You Stand Out)
- You’ve worked on high-transaction or production-critical systems
- You’ve fixed performance issues in production
- You’ve designed systems beyond monolith basics (modular, event-driven, etc.)
- You can defend your technical decisions under scrutiny
- You think like an engineer, not just a coder
What You Get
- Real ownership (not ticket-pushing)
- A seat at technical decision-making tables
- Opportunity to grow into Lead / Architect roles
- Competitive compensation
- A serious engineering environment (no mediocrity tolerated)
