• Implement live agent transfer workflows, ensuring structured data and conversation context is passed reliably
• Develop and deploy new AI summarizer endpoints to provide progress updates and summaries
• Ensure secure handling of PII and sensitive customer data across transport and storage
• Document endpoint specifications, payload examples, integration notes, and deployment instructions
• Collaborate with product and operations teams on flow triggers, escalation rules, and acceptance testing

Requirements:

• 10+ years of professional software development experience
• 5+ years of hands-on experience with PHP and Laravel
• Proven experience building production APIs, webhooks, and real-time integration flows
• Strong understanding of API authentication/authorization patterns, request validation, rate limiting, and idempotency
• Experience with background jobs/queues, retry strategies, and durable session state
• Solid database modeling and performance fundamentals with MySQL or PostgreSQL
• Demonstrated competence in security practices for handling sensitive customer data (PII)
• Bilingual proficiency to communicate effectively in English and Portuguese

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience integrating with credit or identity verification workflows under regulated data constraints (GLBA/PCI)
• AWS deployment experience (ECS, Lambda, RDS) within VPC constraints
• Experience with embedded widgets, cross-domain considerations, and chatbot UX flows
• Familiarity with AI or summarization endpoints and workflow automation

Benefits:

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses
• Fully remote work with flexible schedule
