About PactFi

Private asset markets (PE, Private Credit, VC, Real Estate) have 10x to 9.8T in AUM over the past decade and are projected to grow to $17T in the next five years. However, digital infrastructure has not kept pace, with most of the market operating predominantly in error-prone, internal-only software solutions.

PactFi provides secure, end-to-end, operational infrastructure for managing complex private credit transactions. Our web-based application brings together all parties involved in such a transaction to more efficiently allocate capital, complete KYC, share documents, manage funds flow, and more. The platform is secured to a bank-grade standard, and we have received our SOC 2 Type 2 attestation.

PactFi was developed in close partnership with two of the industry's largest players, both of whom represent the top 3 players in the private credit space by both size (AUM) and deal activity.

PactFi is looking for a Full Stack Engineer to help build and ship features across our platform. You'll work primarily in our Laravel codebase, with regular front-end work in Vue.js, on products that move real money for our partners and their clients.

This is a hands-on role for an engineer with a couple of years under their belt who wants to grow quickly. You'll own features end to end with support from senior engineers, and you'll get direct exposure to product, QA, and engineering leadership rather than working from a ticket queue.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and ship features in our Laravel application, from database schema through API endpoints to the Vue.js interface.

• Write clean, tested, well-documented code and participate actively in code review.

• Integrate with third-party APIs and internal services, handling errors, retries, and edge cases thoughtfully.

• Work with Product Managers and QA to clarify requirements, break down work, and get features to production.

• Debug and resolve issues across the stack, including performance and data-integrity problems.

• Contribute to improving our tooling, tests, and development workflow.

Qualifications

• 2-4 years of professional software development experience.

• Working experience with Laravel (or another modern MVC framework, with genuine interest in Laravel).

• Solid PHP fundamentals and comfort with object-oriented design.

• Front-end experience with Vue.js, React, or similar, plus solid HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

• Practical SQL skills and experience designing and querying relational databases (MySQL or similar).

• Familiarity with Git-based workflows and code review.

• Clear written and verbal communication, and a willingness to ask questions early.

Nice to Have

• Experience writing automated tests (Playwright, or similar).

• Exposure to AWS or another cloud platform.

• Experience with queues, background jobs, or event-driven workflows.

• Interest in fintech, financial services, or regulated environments.

• Any hands-on experience with LLM APIs or AI-assisted features.

What We Offer

• Competitive salary + equity.

• Healthcare coverage.
