Full Stack Developer (AI Focus)

AI-First Full-Stack Developer

Zendrop is a fast-growing US-based dropshipping platform that helps entrepreneurs easily start and scale their online stores. Thousands of merchants use our tools to streamline logistics, improve customer experience, and grow revenue.

We're looking for an AI-first Full-Stack Developer who ships product end-to-end — Laravel on the backend, Vue 3 on the frontend — and treats AI as the primary way to get there. This role is focused on building merchant-facing tools where speed, creativity, and AI-native workflows matter more than traditional engineering process.

Our team already builds with AI agents, vibe coding, and AI-driven testing daily. Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, and Codex are standard kit. We're not looking for someone to introduce AI to the team — we need someone who's already further ahead and can keep pushing the ceiling on what's possible when you combine a strong full-stack foundation with cutting-edge AI workflows.

This role is fully remote. Our dev team for this group works in Eastern Time (ET), and we are primarily targeting candidates based in Latin America.

What You'll Do

• Ship full-stack features end-to-end — from Laravel API to Vue 3 UI — using AI-native workflows as your default mode of building
• Build merchant-facing tools that leverage AI to generate creative assets, automate workflows, and solve real e-commerce problems
• Vibe code aggressively — prototype fast, validate with real users, iterate. Speed over perfection, always
• Stay ahead of the AI tooling curve — evaluate new coding agents, testing frameworks, and generation tools, then bring the best ones into the team's stack
• Own quality for AI-generated code — establish review practices, testing standards, and guardrails that let us ship fast without breaking things
• Collaborate with product, design, and backend teams to turn ideas into shipped features quickly

Tech Stack

• Backend: Laravel (PHP 8+), PostgreSQL, Redis, REST APIs
• Frontend: Vue 3, Pinia, Vue Router, Tailwind, Sass
• Build: Laravel Mix, Webpack
• AI Tools: Cursor, Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, AI testing frameworks
• Infrastructure: AWS, Docker, CI/CD

What We're Looking For

• Demonstrated, daily use of AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot, Codex, or similar) — not just experimenting, actually shipping with them
• Full-stack experience with Laravel + a modern JS framework (Vue preferred, React acceptable)
• Deep curiosity about AI-driven development — you follow the space, try new tools the week they drop, and have opinions on what actually works
• Experience with AI agents for coding, AI-driven testing, or vibe coding workflows
• 3+ years of professional full-stack development with solid PHP and JavaScript/TypeScript fundamentals
• Comfortable designing REST APIs, working with relational databases, and managing state on the frontend
• Ability to read, review, and improve both human-written and AI-generated code
• English level B2+ (our team communicates in English)

Nice to Have

• Experience building AI-powered product features (generative content, recommendation engines, automation tools)
• Familiarity with e-commerce platforms (Shopify, Clickfunnels, fulfillment systems)
• Experience integrating LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) into production applications
• Experience with queue systems, event-driven architecture, or background job processing in Laravel

Benefits:

• Unlimited PTO
• Career development and growth opportunities
• A collaborative and inclusive work environment
• Work on AI-powered product features that ship directly to thousands of merchants — not internal tooling, real customer impact

The Interview Process:
