Job description
The Opportunity (Open to Hybrid, or Remote)
SoStocked is on a mission to simplify inventory forecasting and profitability analysis for Amazon third-party sellers. By leveraging the Amazon Seller Central SP API and other eCommerce integrations, we deliver real-time insights to help our users optimize their supply chains and stay ahead in a competitive marketplace. We’re looking for a backend-focused engineer with PHP/Laravel experience to help us enhance and scale our platform. If you love building clean, maintainable APIs; if you get excited about solving complex data and integration challenges; and if you believe in design principles like abstraction, DRY, and loose coupling, then you might be just the engineer we need!
Join our team as we continue to develop our robust inventory forecasting solution, integrate deeply with Amazon’s SP API and Amazon Warehousing and Distribution system (AWD), and provide exceptional value to thousands of sellers worldwide. You’ll collaborate with product teams to refine requirements, work on data-heavy features that drive profitability insights, and contribute to the architectural evolution of our growing platform.
Your Impact:
- Shape the Next Generation of Inventory Intelligence: Drive the evolution of SoStocked’s core forecasting engine - pushing beyond “good enough” to deliver the industry’s most trusted predictions for Amazon sellers. Your work will directly influence our merchants’ cash‑flow decisions, profitability, and growth trajectory.
- Integration Development & Scalability: Design, build, test, and maintain the services that connect SoStocked to Amazon’s Selling Partner APIs, ensuring rock‑solid reliability and the capacity to scale with thousands of SKUs and millions of orders.
- Quality Advocacy & Robust Architecture: Champion clean PHP/Laravel code and thoughtful architecture. From dependency choices to deployment pipelines, you’ll make decisions that keep our platform fast, secure, and easy to extend as we add new forecasting algorithms and profit analytics.
- Collaboration & Stakeholder Engagement: Partner with product managers, data analysts, and front‑end engineers to turn fuzzy business needs into crisp technical requirements - and then into features our sellers love. Clear communication and shared ownership are at the heart of every project.
- Drive Improvements: Contribute to team and company success by voicing and driving opportunities for improvements.
Your Qualifications:
- Proven Experience: 2+ years of professional back-end software engineering experience, any front-end experience is a big plus.
- Technical Proficiency: 2+ years of experience developing applications with PHP/Laravel; Vue.js is a big plus.
- System Architecture Excellence: Experience with PHP/Laravel, API design, and design patterns is a major plus; you’ll be asked about all of these throughout our interview process.
- Ownership & Continuous Improvement: You treat every ticket as “your product”, driving it from an idea to production‑ready code - even when working solo and context is sparse. Comfortable making informed decisions, you dig deep to understand problems, ask questions, and push through roadblocks without waiting for step‑by‑step instructions. You actively seek feedback, measure outcomes, and iterate, always looking for ways to raise the bar on code quality, performance, and team processes.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Foster a collaborative environment where teams from various functions work together seamlessly to achieve common goals and creatively solve problems.
- Adaptability: You thrive in dynamic environments, quickly adjusting to change while introducing structure when needed. You’re self-driven, proactive, and take ownership of your work, completing projects autonomously and maintaining flexibility and effectiveness.
