Software Engineer (Laravel/PHP)

We're looking for two experienced Laravel developers to join our team

Posted date: February 24, 2026

Please note: this position is timezone-limited and only open to people who live between EST (New York) and EEST (Helsinki)

It’s nice to meet you!

Hello there! We’re Geocodio, a data-as-a-service company that makes it delightfully boring and straightforward for anyone to get geocoordinates, standardized addresses, and enrich their location data. Our customers tell us “it just works” and our NPS score of 88 tells us they’re pretty happy with it.

We’ve built a sustainable, profitable, happy little company over the past 12 years and we pride ourselves on punching far above our weight. Our customers range from students working with geographic data for the first time to cancer researchers to major financial institutions. Chances are, our data is under the hood of a product or service you use regularly.

At Geocodio, you'll get to work on software at scale (serving over a billion requests per month!) as part of a small, collaborative team that takes pride in providing a resilient service while also having fun experimenting with new technologies.

Who we’re looking for

We're looking for two experienced engineers to join our team: one in Europe, and one in the Americas (Eastern/Atlantic/South America timezones).

We're a dyed-in-the-wool Laravel shop, so you should have at least a few years of experience working with Laravel and PHP. A small portion of our codebase is also in Go (but it's okay if you haven't worked with Go).

Here's our full stack:

  • Backend: PHP (Laravel), Go
  • Frontend: Tailwind CSS, AlpineJS and React
  • CMS: Statamic
  • Databases: SQLite, MariaDB, ClickHouse
  • SRE/DevOps: Ansible, Terraform, Grafana, Prometheus

You can get a taste for how we do our work and the kinds of things that interest us on our Code and Coordinates blog. In particular, you should check out our Development Manifesto and see if it aligns with your own approach to engineering.

This is the job for you if you like to work on many different parts of a codebase rather than being siloed to one department or engineering function. Ideally, you've previously worked in small companies, and know what it's like to wear many different hats and be rewarded for taking initiative.

Being customer-driven is core to who we are as a company. So like every other member of our team, CEO and CTO included, you'll be expected to occasionally jump on calls with customers or into tickets. So that early job you had working in a coffee shop or at a grocery store? Leave it on your resume! To us, it's a sign of culture fit if you've worked in a customer-facing role.

We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are more important than ever. All applicants will receive equal consideration for employment without regard to race, religion, background, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ethnic or national origin, disability, genetics, age, family or pregnancy status, or veteran status. We strongly encourage people from underrepresented or disadvantaged backgrounds to apply.

Please note: timezone is important for collaboration purposes. You should be located somewhere between the North American East Coast/South America West Coast and Eastern Europe/Central Africa (UTC-5 to UTC+1). This is a hard requirement. (We understand that you may be so excited about working with us that you're willing to start your work day at 6am every day, but we don't think that's sustainable long-term.)

Why join our team

If you’ve read to this point, wonderful! We’re guessing that probably means you’re interested and think you might be a good fit, and hopefully this section seals the deal.

Yes, it’s remote! This is a 100% remote, never-going-back-to-office job. (We don’t even have an office.) With that said, your coworkers will be located across the US and Europe, so you should be prepared to occasionally have an early or late meeting depending on who you’re talking to.

Above-market rate compensation: It’s worth it to us to pay good money for amazing people, so your salary will be above market rate plus bonuses. We’ll use payscale.com’s median salary for an engineer of your experience in your location as a starting point and build your compensation package from there. You’ll also get bonuses based on company performance and tenure—so if we hit our goals, you’ll be rewarded accordingly. The approximate compensation range for this position is $110,000-$150,000 / £80,000-£110,000 / €90,000-€125,000.

Great benefits: Just because we’re a small company doesn’t mean we skimp on benefits. Our exact policies vary by country, yet include paid vacation, national holidays, unlimited sick time, paid parental leave, retirement savings with company match, and health insurance. We want you to feel well taken care of so you can do your best work.

Small team that cares: We’re a small team and we only hire nice people. We feel passionately about treating our customers as we would want to be treated ourselves and having a work environment that is supportive and empowering. This is a company where you can take time out of your workday to go to a therapy appointment, share an idea that's outside of your job description, and have an honest conversation with leadership.

How to apply

Our goal is for the entire process to take less than two months. If you aren't selected to move forward, we'll do our best to let you know within three weeks so you aren't left hanging. We know it takes a lot of time to fill out job applications, and we respect your time.

  1. Submit this Google form, including a short introduction video. As there are so many issues with fake applications these days, this is to make sure you’re a real human.
  2. Interview with the CTO
  3. Paid sample assignment
  4. Team Interview
  5. Reference check
