• Automotive data & integrations: Work with listings, dealer feeds, external partners and data-quality workflows.
• Performance, reliability & cloud: Optimize backend and SQL flows and support secure AWS/Docker environments.
• Engineering practices: Write clean, tested and maintainable code, review changes and collaborate across teams.

AI in engineering

AI is part of how we build at Luxauto. You will use AI coding tools and agents in daily development, help define practical standards for their safe use, and contribute to AI-powered features such as data enrichment, search and automation. AI-assisted code is expected to meet the same standards for testing, review, security and maintainability as any other production code.

What you bring

• 3-5 years of backend development experience
• Strong professional experience with PHP and Laravel
• Good knowledge of Python for scripting, automation and data processing

• Exposure to microservices and distributed systems concepts
• Exposure to observability and search technologies such as Elasticsearch, ELK or OpenSearch is a plus
• Hands-on use of AI coding assistants or agents as part of the daily development workflow
• Interest or experience with LLM APIs, RAG, embeddings, semantic search or AI-powered automation is a strong advantage
• Strong problem-solving skills, product mindset and fluent English

What we offer

• A key role in the evolution and modernization of Luxauto
• Work on a high-traffic automotive marketplace used by consumers and professional dealers
• Exposure to PHP / Laravel, Python, Node.js, AWS and AI technologies
• Opportunity to build and experiment with AI-powered product features and engineering tools
