Teknologji Informacioni (IT)PrishtinëSotFull Time
About the role
You will build and maintain backend functionality in PHP on a large, custom-built e-commerce and back-office platform. You write native PHP, not just framework code, and you know your way around MySQL at a deep level: complex queries, indexes, transactions and data integrity. You translate complex business processes into reliable software, investigate performance bottlenecks in both application code and database queries, and integrate new functionality safely into existing operational processes.
You take ownership from analysis through implementation and production. You will work closely with Product Owners, Information Analysts, Backend and Frontend Engineers, UX specialists and Data Analysts in fixed three-week sprints. Product ownership and technical direction remain with the client in the Netherlands, but you are expected to actively contribute ideas and challenge decisions when you see opportunities for improvement. This role suits someone who enjoys structure, gets energy from difficult problems and is not afraid to get their hands dirty in an existing, business-critical codebase.
About the company
Our client is a Dutch omnichannel retailer with international webshops, physical stores, warehouses and a complex operational backend. The platform supports product information, orders, inventory, logistics, assembly, point-of-sale and customer service, and is used by hundreds of colleagues and thousands of customers every day.
Software directly supports daily operations, so changes in the backend can affect product availability, order processing and customer experience. The culture is pragmatic and business-driven: engineers are expected to understand the process behind a feature, ask questions and take responsibility for quality.
