About Akiflow

Akiflow is a productivity tool that consolidates all your to-dos from multiple platforms (via API - email/slack/asana/etc.) and has a comprehensive view (tasks+calendars). No more switching between multiple apps, no more context switching.

Why are we building Akiflow?

In the last few years, we have seen tremendous changes in the way we work. The pandemic has disrupted the idea of a "traditional office" work environment, and many of us are now working in a "Hybrid office," combining remote work and office time. That's not the only significant shift in the workspace; in fact, not only did work environments change but so did the very nature of people's jobs. Knowledge workers nowadays spend a lot of time juggling various tasks, coming from everywhere - project management tools, email, chat apps, etc.

In a world where the boundaries between private life and work-life are thinner than ever, and the complexity of our jobs is higher than ever, effective planning has become an essential skill to help everyone use their time as efficiently as possible. We build Akiflow because we are firm believers that avoiding cognitive overload, distractions, overscheduling, and context switching is the key to staying productive and happy in the modern work environment.

About the role
Skills: CSS, Git, HTML, JavaScript, PHP, React

We're Akiflow, a fast-growing productivity startup, and we’re seeking a Full Stack Developer/Growth Engineer to take ownership of our web projects, marketing funnels, integrations, and more.

This is not just a “build the feature and move on” developer job. It is a critical role that blends technical development with growth-focused, marketing-driven initiatives. You will work closely with both the technical and marketing teams to help Akiflow scale, improve performance, and reach more users.

We want someone smart, fast, proactive, and sharp — someone who enjoys solving problems, thinking on their feet, and making a real impact.

🚀 Why This Role Is Unique

Not your typical dev job. This role works deeply with the marketing team on tracking, SEO, speed optimization, conversion funnels, and marketing-focused projects. Many developers shy away from this, but here, it is core.

We need someone sharp and quick. We look for people who are not just technically competent but can think fast, react fast, and solve problems quickly. We will assess this early in the process through how you approach questions, how proactive you are, and how cleverly you think through challenges.

We are seeking senior candidates who can bring the level of complexity handling, autonomy, and ownership that this role requires. We value senior-level experience because we believe it’s essential for driving the impact we want to achieve.

Role & Responsibilities

• Maintain, improve, and scale Akiflow’s websites, landing pages, and marketing funnels
• Ensure mobile adaptation, speed optimization, technical SEO, analytics tracking (Google Analytics, Mixpanel), and best practices
• Work closely with the marketing team to deliver technical solutions that drive user growth and business outcomes
• Develop and integrate backend solutions, including REST APIs (e.g. stripe, paypal, etc)
• Suggest and implement innovative features, tools, and optimizations
• Occasionally provide direct technical support to customers

What We’re Looking For

✅ 5–7+ years PHP development experience
✅ 3–5 years Laravel framework experience (important)
✅ 2–3+ years ReactJS experience
✅ Strong front-end skills (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, React best practices)
✅ Solid experience developing and integrating REST APIs and services
✅ Strong knowledge of marketing-focused areas: technical SEO, tracking, speed optimization, analytics
✅ At least basic Docker experience
✅ Familiarity with shell commands and Git
✅ Excellent English (written and spoken)
✅ Bonus points: prior remote work experience, prior startup experience, based in or near European time zones

Who You Are

✅ You enjoy working alongside marketing teams, supporting their needs and delivering growth-focused solutions
✅ You are proactive, fast-moving, and sharp-minded; you do not wait to be told what to do, you anticipate and act
✅ You have a passion for UX/UI, performance, and seamless, scalable solutions

What We Watch For in Interviews

• Your technical expertise and hands-on knowledge of PHP, Laravel, React, REST APIs, and related tools
• Your ability to break down technical challenges and explain your approach clearly
• How fast you think and solve problems, both technically and strategically
• How sharp, clever, and thoughtful your responses are
• How proactive you are in identifying solutions and improvements
• Whether you bring not just technical knowledge but also real energy, ownership, and drive

Technology

We use ReactJS, Node, Typescript, ElectronJS for our frontend stack, and Php, Laravel, PostgreSQL, Docker for our backend component.

Interview Process
  • Introductory call
  • Technical interview
  • Call with Marketing representative
  • Culture fit interview
  • Final Interview

After an offer has been formalized we will also perform a reference check, with previous employers or colleagues (we will agree with the candidate which references will be checked)
