Backend Engineer Mid PHP Security Tools Squad

💰 $44k-$77k

Job Description

At NordPass, we’re making password security effortless.

We believe logins should be safer and simpler. Join the team behind NordPass— a password manager trusted by 7M+ users and 10,000+ global companies to secure credentials, cards, and sensitive data.

Your impact? Helping millions secure their digital lives by creating smarter, safer ways to log in.

Main Responsibilities

  • Build, extend, and own security-facing backend services (breach detection, email masking, and related tooling) with a high bar for quality, performance, and correctness.
  • Use AI-assisted workflows daily (code generation, test scaffolding, debugging, performance tuning) and continuously evaluate new tooling that can improve the squad’s output.
  • Help establish shared AI practices within the team: review patterns, prompt libraries, and guardrails so AI-generated code meets the same standard as hand-written code.
  • Participate in system design and architectural decisions, advocating for solutions that are secure, scalable, and maintainable.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with Frontend, Android, iOS, and Backend engineers to deliver end-to-end features across all platforms.
  • Take ownership of what you build, from design through production, and hold yourself accountable for uptime, reliability, and code quality.

Core Requirements

  • 3+ years of hands-on PHP development in production systems.
  • Demonstrable AI-native workflow: you already use tools like Cursor, Copilot, Claude, or similar daily for code generation, refactoring, test creation, and debugging, and you take full ownership of every output.
  • Solid grasp of system design. You know which patterns fit which problems and can articulate trade-offs clearly.
  • Strong understanding of OOP, asynchronous programming, and design patterns.
  • Comfortable with CI/CD pipelines, unit testing, and integration testing as non-negotiable parts of shipping.
  • Clear, proactive communicator who works well in a cross-functional environment.

Bonus Points For

  • Experience with Go (we use it alongside PHP).
  • Knowledge of cryptography or security engineering fundamentals.
  • Contributions to internal tooling, developer experience, or engineering enablement.
  • Experience building or integrating AI agents, LLM-powered features, or automated pipelines beyond personal productivity.

Tech Stack

  • PHP
  • Go
  • MySQL
  • Redis
  • RabbitMQ
  • Docker
  • AWS

Salary Range

  • Gross salary 3200 - 5600 EUR/Month.
