Job Specifications
SPATIE is looking for a backend engineer to build large Laravel applications for clients and extend our own product suite.
We are architects and builders, tinkering on the front line; an open-source mastodon operated by a highly talented bunch the size of a soccer team. We purposefully keep the company small but knowledgeable.
What does this bring to you? Learn and grow fast in a respectful, almost familiar environment. Yet you'll have an enormous impact on users worldwide. Together we'll decide where we'll go next. Rest assured: there will be laughs and great food along the way.
We don't take on just any new project but only those where we all can learn something new. We love to work with the latest and greatest. To get an idea of what we've got in store for you, here are a few examples of projects and tasks you might be involved with:
Build an onboarding interface for a multi-tenant SaaS application that provisions fresh databases on the fly.
Model & implement an event-sourced subscription engine capable of handling multiple frequencies, proration, and processing thousands of renewals a month.
Aggregate APIs from a handful of services to a centralized database for real-time financial reporting.
Develop an algorithm to create bundles of time-sensitive products (hotel stays, flights, event tickets,…) ensuring times don't overlap and taking real-time capacity into account.
Maintain an API that receives hundreds of raw exception reports per minutes, process them into a human-readable format and dispatch notifications to multiple channels depending on user- and team-specific settings.
Continually engage in the open source community and provide support for our 400+ Laravel & PHP packages.
You'll have a say in what you'll be working on. No really, we áre listening. If you're curious to see how we work, these public guidelines could give you a first impression.
Spend half a day each week on experiments and open source work. There is a strong mentality to stay on top of things: through interesting links from your colleagues on Slack, in-house presentations or conferences.
Get €1800,- extra budget every year for personal growth. Spend it on books, courses and conferences (including train rides, hotels) like Laracon EU and US, DDD Europe, PHP Benelux, PHPUKConference, DPC, PHPDay ...
We don't do overtime. Juggle with work-life balance in our little circus. We're open to changing our ways as an organization to keep things fresh.
Regularly working from home has become an efficient routine. Yet we value personal connections and visit the office roughly 50% of the time. We get that those who have to commute have a different regime than someone who only has to jump on a bike.
We put our heads together. On a daily basis to get our code working, weekly in our planning update or monthly for knowledge sharing and a company lunch. Every six months we sit together to discuss your personal track and ambitions. Don't forget to bring a (reimbursed) present to the yearly Secret Santa dinner!
Grow together with a team that has made its name in open source With more than 1.5 billion (!) downloads of packages worldwide. Spot your fellow team members as experts in user groups or conference speakers.
And you? You love the PHP + Laravel combo. You know Git. That's it. You don't run away from technologies in our tech stack. You can work independently but aren't afraid to ask when you're stuck. You can speak Dutch and you love Italian food.

A remuneration package with a competitive salary and extras tailored to your personal needs: eg. an (e-)bike allowance, hardware, office furniture, internet at home, pension plan, additional holidays …
