What does your day look like?

Together with your colleagues of the Development Team (PHP / GoLang), you are responsible for the development of the various and international websites like HotelSpecials.de and BungalowSpecials.nl. Whether you optimize the commercial frontend, improve our A/B testing capabilities or implement a new microservice, you’ll be encouraged to think outside the box and create the best solutions, leaving your mark on the company. In the famous words of our rockstar developer, Rob, “even as a new developer, you can start making a fundamental difference in the company within a matter of months”.

Your main task is to maintain and further develop the backend applications, connections with third-parties and public frontend websites. Progressive techniques and technologies offer you a helping hand. Your activities are varied and challenging whereby you get a lot of responsibility and independency to carry out the projects.

We expect the candidate to be willing to dive in, learn and improve and extend the existing running platform.

Within the Product & Development department we work with 3 Scrum teams. The PHP team currently compromises of 3 backend developers, 1 frontend developer and a dedicated tester.
