Senior PHP Symfony Developer

Is this you?

Who are we?

You are a senior PHP Developer who is looking for a company where you can work in a team on challenging and interesting products, that are already being used by over half a million users. You like solving complex problems, work with the Symfony framework and like to help your team improve the architecture, features, and code of our applications.

When you and your team write code, you like it to be clean, abstract, well documented, unit-tested, and preferably structured using domains. You can review work from others meticulously and help us maintain high standards. You are capable of setting up a modern (Symfony based) application architecture, that can be the base for all future developments. You don’t mind getting your hands dirty by refactoring old parts of the application into the new architecture, while at other times adding new cool & challenging features.

We store a lot of sensitive information like personal data and school and work results, so you can help the team by making sure all attack vectors are covered and the development process results in the safest code possible.

What are you going to do?

You will be working on an existing software product which is already being used on a very large scale (more than 100.000 active users last year!) by well-known organizations in the Netherlands and Belgium. Ranging from higher education institutions and most MBO-schools in the Netherlands, and a broad range of exam-institutions as well als companies and municipalities.
‍
We have ambitions to rapidly scale up internationally, giving you a huge user base that will really profit from your work.Your daily routine will involve tasks like:

• Help design and improve our architecture by further integrating Symfony Framework and novel design patterns like DDD.
• Be a technical resource for less experienced co-workers
• Improve and refactor our code base to make sure it’s up to date (and decide which parts need to be prioritized)
• Add new features to our product together with your coworkers
• Analyze and solve complex problems coming from customers or other teams
• Pro-actively search for performance and security issues and make sure they are solved
• Write unit-tests for most of your code

What are we looking for?

• You have a lot of technical knowledge of PHP and writing good MySQL/MariaDB-queries
• Recent experience with Symfony and some understanding of the inner workings of Symfony

• Security minded: you are familiar with all caveats that come with processing personal data and know how to develop secure code
• Some experience with front-end development (jQuery / Vue / Vite / Yarn)
• Experience with working in a SCRUM-team and able to help transition the team to a more agile development process
• Communicates to developers and other stakeholders effectively
