Hi everyone,
I’m currently looking for a new Backend/Java opportunity and would really appreciate referrals or leads.
I have 4.5+ years of experience and currently work as a Backend Software Engineer at a product-based fintech company. My main stack is Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, PostgreSQL, Redis, Docker, Kubernetes and microservices.
My current work is around payment orchestration and PSP integrations. I’ve worked on 180+ payment providers and built a configuration-driven integration/transformation layer to reduce the amount of custom code needed for new integrations. I’ve also been involved in our Java 8 → Java 21 and Spring Boot 2.3 → 3.4 migration.
Apart from development, I take ownership of technical design, PR reviews, mentoring, production issues and release cycles.
I’m looking for Backend Engineer / Software Engineer / Senior Java Developer roles, preferably in product companies, fintech/payments, SaaS or backend infrastructure. I’m open to opportunities across India and also interested in relocation opportunities such as Malaysia/UAE.
The reason I’m actively looking now is that an increment discussed with my management around 3 months ago is still pending, and there have also been layoffs recently. I was initially planning to continue with the company, but the uncertainty around growth and stability has made me start looking seriously.
If your company is hiring for a suitable Java/Backend role, or if you can refer me internally, I’d really appreciate it. Happy to share my resume over DM.
Thanks!

After applying, find someone senior at that company and mail them directly. Not careers@ — an actual human with decision power. Hiring managers, engineering leads, even C-suite.

I applied through the normal portal, heard nothing, then dug up the personal email IDs of the CTO and CEO and sent a short, specific mail. Not a template — what they’re building, why my work lines up, resume attached. A few days later I had an interview call.

Why it works: your application is one of 2,000 rows in an ATS. Your mail is one of three in that person’s inbox. At small and mid-size companies, founders actually read their mail, and one forward from them skips the filter entirely.

Keep it under 150 words. Lead with a specific reason you’re mailing them. Don’t ask for a job — ask for 10 minutes.

Your turn. What’s actually worked for you? LinkedIn DMs, referrals, alumni, open-source contributions before applying, something weird that shouldn’t have worked but did?

Hi All,

A quick snapshot of what I bring to the table:

I spent the last year+ building backend systems for a multi-tenant SaaS platform — mainly around spend management and accounting integrations. That meant working deep with Xero, QuickBooks, FreshBooks, and Microsoft Dynamics Business Central APIs, handling OAuth2 flows, and designing the data models and migrations (Liquibase) behind it all. Also spent a fair amount of time in production debugging — fixing N+1 queries, Hibernate hydration issues, async event flows, that kind of thing.

Stack-wise: Java, Spring Boot, JPA/Hibernate, MySQL, AWS, with some React on the side.

I'm an IIT Gandhinagar CSE grad (2025) and came up through competitive programming (Codeforces Specialist, C++), so problem-solving under pressure isn't new to me.

Currently based in Vadodara, open to PAN INDIA locations (can relocate), remote, or hybrid — basically flexible on location if the role's right.

If you know of an opening or can point me somewhere, I'd genuinely appreciate it. Can share my resume in DMs.

also I am an iit passout.

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some career advice from developers who are currently hiring or working in the PHP/Laravel ecosystem.
I have 4.5+ years of professional web development experience, with most of my experience centered around PHP/Laravel backend development. I’ve worked on production applications across fintech, e-commerce, enterprise and other domains.
My experience includes things like:
PHP / Laravel
MySQL & PostgreSQL
REST APIs
Authentication / RBAC
Database design and query optimization
Third-party integrations
AWS and production deployments
Git / Docker
Some React/JavaScript exposure
Recently, while searching for a new role in India as well as remote opportunities, I’ve noticed that the number of decent Laravel openings seems quite limited compared with stacks like Node.js + React/Next.js. A lot of Laravel positions I find either have lower compensation, are old postings, or expect a very broad full-stack skill set.
This has left me a little unsure about the best strategy.
I have actual professional experience with Laravel, so naturally my quickest path to another job should be to strengthen Laravel/PHP and interview with that experience. At the same time, I’m seeing significantly more Node.js openings and wondering whether continuing to specialize in Laravel could limit me longer term.
For people familiar with the current market:
Would you recommend that someone with 4.5+ years of Laravel experience continue targeting Laravel/PHP roles, or start seriously transitioning toward Node.js?
Also, for developers who recently found a Laravel job:
Where did you find the opportunity?
What skills beyond Laravel helped you get shortlisted?
Are Laravel + AWS/Docker/Redis/testing skills enough for stronger backend roles, or is React/Node becoming almost mandatory?
What salary range is realistic in India for a Laravel developer with ~4–5 YOE?
Are there particular job boards, companies, agencies, or remote markets where Laravel demand is still strong?
What would you focus on if you needed to maximize your chances of getting hired within the next few weeks?
I’m actively revising Laravel internals, OOP, Eloquent, queues/jobs, caching, SQL, APIs, AWS, Docker, etc., and applying regularly.
Not looking for reassurance — I’d genuinely appreciate realistic feedback from people who know the current market, even if the answer is that I need to broaden my stack.

Also, if anyone here is hiring or knows of relevant opportunities offering ₹12 LPA or above, I’d be happy to share my resume privately. I’m open to Laravel/PHP backend or suitable full-stack roles, including remote opportunities. Referrals or leads would be greatly appreciated.
Even a freelance project

I'm looking for a new role to join I have 1.6 YOE.
