Job Description:
As a backend engineer, you know your job is critical but isn’t appreciated as much as those working with consumer-facing technologies. We understand your role. We appreciate what you do. At KyLeads, we’re looking for senior backend engineers that are talented, driven, and can own our architecture and make it so beautiful that it wins awards.

We’re providing a unique opportunity to work with the latest technologies and take your career further than you may have thought possible. There’s no advancement cap and as long as you continue to develop yourself, more opportunities will be presented for you to grow within the organization.
We code primarily inVuejs and Laravel and as a backend engineer, you’ll be working intimately with the Frontend Engineer. DevOps is your friend, continuous deployment is expected, and quality trumps everything else.
You can expect to have regular meetings with your team lead and other developers to discuss best practices and how you can grow as an engineer.
You should also know how to write (or be willing to learn) because you’ll publish about your work and or KyLeads culture at least once a month.

We have a multidisciplinary team that works across design, front-end, and back-end. It’s what keeps us agile and competitive. We don’t want a candidate that’s too specialized in one area. The successful team member will be able to do many things well and they’re always open to learning.
