About the Role

We are seeking a Senior Typesense Developer to join our distributed engineering team and work on enterprise-scale, high-performance search systems for a US-based client.

This is a fully remote (WFH) position, offering long-term engagement and the opportunity to design, build, and scale real-time, low-latency search architectures using Typesense, supported by robust backend services in PHP.

The ideal candidate brings deep expertise in search engineering, a strong backend foundation, and the ability to operate independently in a remote, globally distributed environment.


Key Responsibilities

  • Search Engineering & Typesense Development
  • Design, implement, and maintain Typesense-based search solutions for large-scale and high-velocity datasets.
  • Define and optimize search schemas, collections, indexing strategies, and ranking rules.
  • Build typo-tolerant, faceted, filtered, and real-time search experiences tailored to business use cases.
  • Continuously tune search relevance, performance, and latency to meet enterprise SLAs.
  • Manage data ingestion pipelines, synchronization mechanisms, and re-indexing workflows.


Backend Development (PHP)

  • Develop and maintain backend services in PHP to integrate with Typesense APIs.
  • Build secure, scalable REST APIs to support search functionality across web and mobile platforms.
  • Integrate search systems with relational databases and third-party data sources.
  • Write clean, modular, well-documented, and reusable code following engineering best practices.


Architecture, Performance & Reliability

  • Design scalable and highly available search architectures with fault tolerance in mind.
  • Monitor and optimize query performance, indexing efficiency, and system throughput.
  • Implement caching, logging, monitoring, and alerting for search services.
  • Ensure data consistency, reliability, and resilience across distributed systems.


Collaboration & Delivery

  • Collaborate closely with US-based product and engineering teams in a remote setup.
  • Participate in architecture discussions, sprint planning, and technical design reviews.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve production issues with a strong ownership mindset.
  • Adhere to security, performance, and maintainability best practices across all deliverables.


Required Skills & Qualifications

  • 8+ years of backend software development experience.
  • Hands-on production experience with Typesense (mandatory).
  • Strong proficiency in PHP.
  • Solid experience building and consuming RESTful APIs and JSON-based services.
  • Deep understanding of search relevance, indexing, ranking, filtering, and faceting concepts.
  • Experience with MySQL, PostgreSQL, or equivalent relational databases.
  • Familiarity with Docker and cloud environments (AWS / GCP preferred).
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with the ability to work independently.
  • Excellent communication skills for remote, cross-timezone collaboration.


Good to Have

  • Experience with Elasticsearch, Algolia, or similar search platforms.
  • Exposure to frontend search integrations (React, Vue, InstantSearch, etc.).
  • Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines and cloud-native deployment strategies.
  • Experience working on high-traffic, enterprise-scale applications.


Why Join Us

  • 100% Work From Home with long-term stability.
  • Opportunity to architect and scale advanced search systems for a global client.
  • Work with cutting-edge, performance-driven search technology.
  • Competitive compensation aligned with experience and expertise.
