Job description

We are currently looking for a full-time PHP back-end developer (m/f/x) who will join a small but ambitious team in a Breda (NL) based scale-up. They want to improve and increase the usage of public transportation by being the bridge between employers and mobility providers and become the leading platform to change mobility for all big companies, so that employees choose flexible and sustainable alternatives in the post-Covid era.

You will take the lead in vendor and mobility service integrations as a PHP (Laravel) developer while also working on the product side. You will aim to deliver nothing but high-quality code, and know your way around in all sort of APIs.

To be very clear: this job posting is not with madewithlove, but instead with one of our clients whom we consciously chose to work with.

Our client enables large organizations to offer their employees a sustainable, flexible and smart mobility policy without the usual hassle. They are a young and dynamic scale-up while being part of a stable and mature group. With offices within the station of Breda, they are looking for a Belgian or Dutch employee who does not mind commuting a couple of times a week because they believe in teamwork for personal growth and development.

What will you be doing?

You will be writing modern PHP code while understanding that continuous refactoring is part of the job. You have a critical and pragmatic approach to guard over the quality of the code. You will mainly work on the integrations with third parties and therefore you find joy in working with APIs of all sorts Apart from your main tasks, you will also regularly strengthen the team in other engineering projects, especially when they involve your domain of expertise. You review and take responsibility for the overall technical architecture of the platform and make the right choices on technologies the client should (not) use. You'll be responsible for implementing automatic testing because you understand it’s an integral part of delivering high-quality features. You maintain and improve CI/CD pipelines to ensure a steady and stable release pace. You collaborate with a small team of top-notch engineers and aim to improve others as much as yourself. You implement and maintain development processes.
