The role

Why this role

FlyingToast is past the blank-page phase and now needs a builder who can turn customer feedback into a stronger launch-ready product. This role owns practical work across Laravel, Vue, queues, AI workflows, publishing guardrails, and the small product details that make business users trust the system. You will work directly with the founder and ship visible improvements quickly.

What you'll do

Ship end-to-end product improvements across Laravel 12, Vue 3, Inertia.js, and Tailwind CSS
Harden trust-critical flows such as onboarding, brand setup, post generation, scheduling, publishing, and ToastAI actions
Improve queue-backed AI and publishing workflows with clear failure handling and focused tests
Talk through customer feedback and translate the strongest signals into small, shippable product changes
Keep the codebase simple, readable, and launch-ready as the product grows
Help define the early engineering bar through reviews, tests, and pragmatic technical decisions

What we're looking for

5+ years building production web products with Laravel, Vue, React, or comparable full-stack tools
Strong product judgment: you can decide what to build, what to simplify, and what to leave alone
Experience with queues, background jobs, API integrations, and operationally important workflows
Comfort working with LLM APIs, prompts, structured outputs, or AI-assisted product surfaces
A track record of shipping in small teams where ownership matters more than process

Nice to have

Experience with Inertia.js or similar server-driven SPA frameworks
Familiarity with Stripe billing integration (Laravel Cashier)
Background in B2B SaaS, marketing tools, publishing workflows, or regulated industries

What success looks like

In your first 6 months...

Launch-critical product flows are measurably more reliable and easier to understand
You own meaningful product areas without creating heavy process around them
Customer feedback is turning into shipped improvements every week
