Full Job Description

Build What Powers the Future of Lending

Are you the kind of PHP pro who can spot a missing semicolon from a mile away and still explain it without making anyone cry? Perfect, we’re looking for you!

We’re on the hunt for a Senior PHP Developer who’s ready to roll up their sleeves, write clean, scalable code, and help us build some pretty awesome products. You’ll be working with a collaborative team that values smart ideas, good humor, and the occasional meme drop in Slack.

Senior PHP Developer (Dark Horse AI Platform) - Come Build Cool Stuff With Us

Location: Austin, TX (In-Office)
Team: Engineering
Reports to: Engineering Leadership

About the Role

Gravity Lending is scaling Dark Horse, our internal AI and automation platform that powers intelligent workflows across our lending ecosystem — including our Loan Origination System (LOS), customer and lender portals, and internal operational tooling.

We’re looking for a Senior PHP Developer who can design and build reliable, high-performance backend services that connect data, workflows, and AI-driven capabilities — securely, efficiently, and at scale.

This role is ideal for an engineer who:

Cares deeply about clean architecture and performance
Enjoys working close to the data (MySQL-heavy systems)
Is comfortable operating in regulated, PII-sensitive environments
Wants to collaborate closely with ML engineers to bring AI features into real production systems (not demos)

What You’ll Do

Backend & API Development

Build and maintain Dark Horse backend services using PHP 8+, including:
APIs and service modules
Internal tooling
Workflow orchestration services
Design secure, well-structured endpoints that support AI workflows:
Chat and session services
Tool/action execution
Retrieval and orchestration requests

Data & Performance Engineering

Design and optimize MySQL data access patterns at scale:
Indexing and query optimization
Schema design
Stored procedures where appropriate
Tune performance across services using caching, background jobs, and profiling tools.

Security & Compliance

Implement secure handling of PII and sensitive financial data, including:
Encryption and hashing strategies
Access control and authorization
Audit logging and traceability
Safe data egress patterns
Partner with Security to ensure Dark Horse services meet SOC-minded controls and privacy-by-design principles.

Reliability & Engineering Excellence

Lead by example on:
Code quality and reviews
Testing strategies
Refactoring and technical documentation
Improve platform reliability through:
Idempotency and retry strategies
Rate limiting and failure handling
Incident-ready logging, metrics, and observability

Cross-Functional Collaboration

Work closely with Product and ML engineers to translate AI capabilities into stable, production-ready features.
Integrate with third-party and internal services (credit, valuation, identity, LOS modules, messaging, and queues).

Required Qualifications

6+ years of professional PHP development experience
Strong command of PHP 8+, object-oriented design, and API architecture
Deep experience with SQL/MySQL:
Schema design
Indexing strategies
Query planning and performance tuning
Experience building secure, production-grade REST services, including:
Authentication and authorization
Input validation
Rate limiting
Familiarity with modern engineering practices:
CI/CD pipelines
Automated testing
Code reviews
Git-based workflows
Comfortable working in environments handling sensitive, regulated data

Nice to Have

FinTech, lending, underwriting, or regulated-data experience
Experience integrating AI or LLM services, or building APIs used by AI agents
Knowledge of encryption and hashing best practices:
Salting / peppering strategies
Key management
Experience with queues and workers (SQS, RabbitMQ, Redis)
Familiarity with SOC 2, auditability, and least-privilege system design

Tech You’ll Likely Use

PHP 8.2+, MySQL, Redis, Docker, Linux, Nginx, queues/workers, GitHub Actions (or similar CI), observability tooling, AWS services, JSON-based APIs.

Compensation (Austin Base Salary)

Minimum: $105,000
Maximum: $135,000

(Final compensation based on experience and scope of responsibility.)

Why Gravity Lending?

Work on impactful, real-world AI applications
Collaborative team that values strong engineering principles
Opportunity to shape a rapidly evolving platform
Meaningful in-person collaboration

Pay: $105,000.00 - $135,000.00 per year

Benefits:

401(k)
Dental insurance
Employee assistance program
Employee discount
Flexible spending account
Health insurance
Health savings account

Paid time off
