Client Profile
Axo acts as a broker between consumers looking to refinance and consolidate unsecure depth (credit cards and unsecure loans) and banks all over the Nordics. For the consumer they make sure they get the best offer with the best possible terms since they work with 25-35 banks in each market. For banks, they serve as an important marketing channel for attracting new customers.
Their business is doing tremendously well and based on their strategy to build one global platform, they're in the need of yet another skilled developer to help them build even more great stuff.
Responsibilities
You will become a member of a global Product & Tech team located in Oslo, Copenhagen and Lisbon, building a multilanguage, highly scalable, cloud native, multi market broker and membership platform, with a bare minimum of legacy code.
Owns significant features end-to-end on uScore, Axo Group's personal finance platform. Works in an AI First engineering culture where Claude Code and AI-assisted development are daily workflow, not optional extras. Bridges product thinking, strong architecture instincts, and practical delivery — shipping multiple features a week while maintaining the quality standard that financial data demands. Contributes to architectural direction, mentors junior developers, and collaborates across product, design, and data.
Your responsibilities will grow to match your abilities and experience.
- Own complete feature development from spec through deployment — backend and frontend
- Lead architectural discussions and document decisions in ADRs and LLD/HLD documents
- Build and review AI agent workflows using Claude Code, or equivalent tools — delegate implementation, review all output
- Integrate with financial APIs (CreditSafe credit scoring, Prepr CMS, internal services)
- Ship personalisation and offer matching features with LaunchDarkly-gated experiments
- Enforce GDPR and EU AI Act compliance requirements in every feature — data privacy is architecture, not a checkbox
- Mentor mid-level and junior engineers; set the bar for code quality and AI-assisted development practices
Main requirements
- 5+ years of PHP experience
- 3+ years working with Laravel
- Strong understanding of Laravel internals (DI, service container, middleware, events)
- Writes clean, structured code using best practices (SOLID, DTOs, CQRS pattern)
- Deep experience with databases and Eloquent ORM (performance, relationships, query optimization)
- Experience designing scalable systems (queues, jobs, APIs, integrations)
- Knowledge of testing (PHPUnit/Pest) and static analysis tools (PHPStan)
- Systems thinker: sees how individual components affect the whole product and business
- High ownership: takes features from first line to production — does not throw over the wall
- Constructive scepticism: questions assumptions, including AI-generated output
- Balances technical excellence with delivery velocity — knows when good enough ships faster and when quality debt is dangerous in a financial product
- Intellectually honest: flags blockers early, estimates with ranges, communicates uncertainty
- Self-directed: drives their own work in a low-bureaucracy environment; does not wait to be told what to do
- Committed to continuous learning: the AI tooling landscape changes weekly; adaptability is required
Nice to have
- Agentic tools like Claude Code or Cursor
- Knows how to write ADRs and understand Low level design and high level design
- React/Nextjs experience
- Experience with accessible UI
