About The Position

Lumion is the all-in-one operating system for trade and technical schools. We are the central platform that powers the entire institution—from the first lead generated, to enrollment, tuition payments, compliance reporting, and alumni career tracking. We are a well-funded, high-velocity startup backed by TTV Capital and Tusk Venture Partners. We are obsessed with helping the next generation of tradespeople launch successful careers, and we are updating our entire stack to be AI-First. We are looking for a Senior Engineer who is 100% all-in on AI-native workflows. If you believe in hand-crafting every line of boilerplate PHP as a badge of honor, this role is not for you. We are hiring engineers who treat AI agents (Claude Code, Gemini, GitHub Copilot, Cursor) as their primary toolset. You will be an orchestrator of code, using these tools to ship comprehensive features 10x faster than traditional developers. You aren't just writing code; you are architecting the automated backbone that allows trade schools to scale. You will: Architect & Orchestrate: Use Laravel 12 as the foundation, but rely on AI agents to handle the implementation heavy lifting. Your value lies in high-level architecture, prompt engineering, and rigorous code review. Build the "School OS": Develop the interconnected modules that run the school—admissions portals, financial aid automations, and student information systems—integrated seamlessly with AI to reduce administrative drag. Ship Relentlessly: Leverage agentic coding tools to condense week-long sprints into day-long pushes. Maintain Sanity: While we move fast, we prioritize stability. You will ensure the AI-generated code adheres to strict SOLID principles and rigorous testing standards (Pest).

Requirements

Agentic Workflow Mastery: You don’t just "use ChatGPT sometimes." AI is not your “rubbery ducky.” You have a fully developed workflow using tools like Claude Code, Gemini, Codex, etc. to generate, refactor, and debug complex codebases.
Laravel Expertise: You know the framework deeply enough to instantly spot when the AI is hallucinating or using an anti-pattern. You can guide the AI to use Service Providers, Facades, and Eloquent correctly.
Business Logic Intuition: You understand that we are building a mission-critical platform. You can translate complex school workflows into clean technical architecture.
Shipping Mindset: You value outcomes over output. You care about the feature landing in the school administrator's hands, not the purity of the implementation process.
3+ Years Experience: In shipping production web applications (SaaS preferred).
