Backend Developer (AI-Driven/Claude Code)

Location: Remote (Türkiye)



About Optimum7

Optimum7 is a performance-driven digital agency operating at the intersection of eCommerce, AI, and growth marketing. Led by our founder Duran Inci (20+ years in digital innovation), we build scalable, custom solutions for global brands.

We are not just building software — we are building AI-powered systems that redefine how eCommerce operates.


What We’re Looking For

We are looking for a Senior Backend Developer who doesn’t just code — but engineers intelligent systems.

This role is heavily AI-focused.

You must be comfortable working with:

  • LLMs in production
  • AI-assisted development workflows
  • Claude (Anthropic) for coding, reasoning, and system design

👉 Claude usage is not optional — it is a core requirement.


We expect you to:

  • Use Claude Code to accelerate development
  • Design systems with AI as a layer, not an add-on
  • Leverage AI tools to improve speed, quality, and architecture decisions


Key Responsibilities

  • Design and build scalable backend systems & microservices
  • Develop RESTful APIs & GraphQL architectures
  • Integrate LLMs (OpenAI, Claude) into real-world eCommerce solutions
  • Use Claude Code actively in development workflows for:
    • Code generation & optimization
    • Debugging complex systems
    • Architectural reasoning
  • Implement AI-powered features (automation, personalization, search, agents)
  • Optimize performance (Redis, caching layers, async processing)
  • Work with Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD pipelines
  • Ensure high reliability, scalability, and security
  • Collaborate in a fast-paced, AI-first engineering culture


Must-Have Skills

  • PHP (6+ years) – modern PHP (8.2+)
  • Laravel (4+ years) – Laravel 10/11+
  • Strong JavaScript / TypeScript (3+ years)
  • Advanced MySQL / PostgreSQL optimization
  • Solid experience with REST & GraphQL APIs
  • Hands-on experience with Claude (Anthropic) for coding
  • Experience integrating LLMs into production systems
  • AI-assisted development mindset (non-negotiable)
  • Docker & containerization
  • CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins)
  • Cloud platforms (AWS / GCP / Azure)
  • Message queues (RabbitMQ, SQS, Redis Queue)
  • Caching systems (Redis, Varnish)
  • Git workflows (GitFlow / trunk-based)
  • Strong English communication


Tech Stack

Backend: PHP 8.2+, Laravel 11+, Node.js
Databases: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis
Cloud: AWS / GCP / Azure
DevOps: Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
APIs: REST, GraphQL
AI: OpenAI, Claude (core tool), LangChain, Vector DBs

What Makes This Role Different

This is not a traditional backend role.

You will:

  • Work in an AI-native engineering environment
  • Use Claude as a daily coding partner
  • Build systems where AI is embedded in the architecture
  • Move fast, experiment, and ship intelligent products
