Important: While this is a fully remote role, we only accept candidates within a 3-hour time difference from CET (Central European Timezone).

Prezly is looking for a backend developer to expand the team. This jobs entails working closely with a product designer, the founders and builders to craft high-quality, impactful, and inclusive user experiences for communication experts all around the world.

Job requirements

  • Language: Near-native English is required.
  • Experience: 3+ years in a Backend (PHP) Developer role. Expertise in React, CI and typescript are a plus
  • Communication: Strong verbal and written communication skills. You’ll regularly engage with the rest of the Prezly team via web conferences, and email.
  • Remote Setup: A good, reliable internet connection is a must, as this role is fully remote.

About the technology

Our services are built around a core of PHP (symfony), postgres, React with millions of people per day using some aspect of the system. On the backend side we use a Symfony fork (https://github.com/rock-symphony/rock-symphony), Propel (http://propelorm.org/) and interact with a Postgres (RDS) database.

We’re big believers in devops/CI – building, testing, and deploying to any of our environments are as simple as pushing a commit to a git branch. The infrastructure is containerized, built on top of AWS using Kubernetes. 

We’re a technology company first: This means that in addition to product and business development plans, we put emphasis on continual improvement of our stack and infrastructure.

The role

We are looking for a backend engineer with deep understanding of PHP (Symfony) and best practices when it comes to application development. Bonus points for experience with our specific stack.

You will work on a variety of projects, mostly around the core Prezly product. Your work will ship continuously (when it’s done). You will have a direct impact in our customers’ experience and the overall trajectory of the business.

What we offer

  • Competitive Salary: Because great work deserves great pay.

  • Amazing Tools: You’ll get to choose your own equipment – think of it as your utility belt for success.
  • Flexible Hours: Work when and where you’re most productive – there’s a life outside of work, and we get that.

  • Team Gatherings: A few times a year, we fly the team to Leuven, Belgium, to connect, collaborate, and have fun together.
