Diagonal is building the future of personalized software. Our team has deep experience in vertical SaaS and scaling Laravel systems, and we’re backed by leading investors to create a platform that reshapes how software adapts to its users.

The Role

We’re hiring a Staff Laravel Engineer to help define and build the core architecture of our platform. This isn’t typical feature development—you’ll design the primitives and abstractions that let others generate entire applications. If you enjoy open-ended systems work, pattern design, and building from first principles, you’ll thrive here.

The work is demanding and fast-moving, built for people who want to stretch themselves and have meaningful impact. We move quickly, but we value clarity, focus, and long-term thinking over chaos. We take pride in our work and understanding the nuance of how the technologies that we use actually work. We will expect a lot from you, and you can expect a lot from us.

In return, we offer strong compensation, real ownership, and the opportunity to help shape a platform we believe can power much of American business. If you’re motivated by challenges and want your work to count, you’ll feel at home here.
