Posted 4 hours ago

Summary

We are looking for a senior-level engineer with proven experience in Laravel, GraphQL (including subscriptions), and AI integrations to debug and fix a partially AI-generated system. The current codebase has architectural inconsistencies and runtime issues. You will be expected to analyze, diagnose, and fix problems independently — not experiment blindly. Current Critical Issues: * Application crashes when selecting prompts * AI context handling is broken or inconsistent * GraphQL subscriptions are unreliable / out of sync * Mutations fail to properly update prompt state * Frontend animations behave inconsistently on RTX GPUs Tech Stack: * Laravel (API backend) * GraphQL (queries, mutations, subscriptions) * AI-powered workflows (prompt + context management) * Realtime (WebSockets / subscriptions) * Frontend with GPU-dependent animations Strict Requirements (Do NOT apply if you don’t meet these): * 5+ years of backend experience with Laravel or similar frameworks * Strong, hands-on experience with GraphQL (including subscriptions in production) * Proven experience debugging complex, unstable systems * Experience integrating AI APIs (OpenAI or similar) with proper context handling * Ability to trace issues across backend, realtime layer, and frontend * Comfortable working with imperfect / AI-generated codebases What We Expect: * You identify root causes — not just patch symptoms * You can explain why issues happen and how to fix them properly * You write clean, maintainable fixes aligned with the existing architecture * You communicate clearly and concisely Hard Filter: Start your proposal with: I AM NOT A BOT Any proposal without this will be ignored immediately. To be considered, your proposal MUST include: * A short, concrete debugging approach for this type of system * Specific examples of similar issues you’ve solved (GraphQL / AI / realtime) * What you think is the most likely cause of one of the issues listed above Low-effort, generic, or copy-paste proposals will be declined without response.
