Build backend technology that powers the world of sports. For an international tech scale-up, we are looking for a PHP Developer to join a growing engineering team. The company operates a high-volume data platform used by businesses across the sports, media, and technology industries. Behind the scenes, large amounts of real-time data are processed, structured, and made available through APIs to customers around the world. This is not a role where you will simply build another website in Laravel. You will work on the core backend of a data-heavy platform, where scalability, performance, clean architecture, and reliable APIs actually matter.

De Rol:

As a Backend Developer, you will help further develop and scale the platform and its APIs. Your work will include:

• Building and improving backend functionality in PHP
• Developing and maintaining scalable APIs
• Processing and structuring large amounts of data
• Improving application performance and reliability
• Writing clean, maintainable, and well-structured code
• Thinking about architecture and technical improvements
• Reviewing code and collaborating closely with other engineers
• Helping improve engineering standards and development processes

The main backend stack is built around PHP and Laravel, but strong knowledge of object-oriented programming and core PHP principles is particularly important.

Vereisten:

Ideally, you have:

• 3+ years of professional backend development experience
• Strong experience with PHP
• Experience with Laravel or a comparable PHP framework
• A solid understanding of object-oriented programming
• Experience building or maintaining APIs
• An understanding of scalable and maintainable backend architecture
• An interest in performance, data processing, and platform engineering
• The ability to work independently while enjoying collaboration with other engineers

Experience working on SaaS platforms, high-traffic applications, or data-intensive systems is a strong plus.

Wat bieden wij?

You will join an international engineering environment where the product is technically interesting and already used at meaningful scale. You can expect:

• A performance-related bonus
• A product with international reach and substantial technical challenges
• Plenty of ownership and influence over technical decisions
• A team that takes engineering quality seriously without unnecessary bureaucracy
• A hybrid working environment.
