Crafting the kind of backend that makes frontend work feel like cheating
Hey there — we’re Kinship 👋
We’re building the Revit tools you wish existed. Our platform helps architects and engineers manage content, track usage, and make smarter decisions with less hassle.
We’re looking for a backend-focused engineer who enjoys building clean APIs, designing resilient systems, and keeping things fast, simple, and secure. Someone who’s comfortable working in PHP, knows their way around Docker, and can help us make the most of AWS to ship reliable software at speed.
What You’ll Do
•
Build and maintain backend services in modern PHP
•
Design and implement APIs consumed by our frontend and desktop apps
•
Use Docker to standardize development and streamline deployments
•
Work with AWS services (e.g. ECS, S3, RDS, CloudWatch) to keep our systems fast and reliable
•
Collaborate with product, design, and other engineers to ship features
•
Write tests and monitor performance so we can trust our stack at scale
What We’re Looking For
You don’t need to tick every box, but here’s what would help you succeed:
•
Strong experience with PHP (we use PHP 8+)
•
Familiarity with containerized environments using Docker
•
Product mindset — you think in terms of user value, not just technical correctness
•
Clear communicator and thoughtful collaborator
•
Someone who’s excited to work in a small, fast-moving team
