Job description

On-site and remote, Bussummergrindweg 1i, 1406NZ Bussum

Your role within our powerhouse

As a PHP Developer, you work on a system where technical choices have a direct impact on performance, scalability and maintainability. You do not just build features, you help shape how the system evolves.

Together with colleagues and customers, you translate ideas into concrete solutions and are responsible for design, implementation and quality. You work in a team of experienced developers and DevOps engineers.

Our stack runs on PHP/Symfony with API Platform and FrankenPHP. We run on Kubernetes and work entirely with automated deployments. You understand what your choices do to runtime behaviour, performance and stability.

You work in a domain where data consistency, performance and scalability are no side issues. Poor choices become immediately visible in the behaviour of the system. That is why you look beyond "it works" and focus on how it works.

You work Agile and liaise directly with the Product Owner about what gets built and why. You make explicit trade-offs between speed, quality and clearing technical debt, and you can defend those choices.

We work hybrid from Bussum or Enschede, but the team operates largely asynchronously. That means you work independently and take responsibility.

What we expect

You have strong experience with PHP, PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and Redis. Symfony and API Platform are familiar territory for you. Experience with FrankenPHP, Go and Kubernetes is a plus. A Symfony certification is a plus.

You pick up existing code without context and quickly make it your own. You see where it can be improved and you actually change it. Not cosmetically, but structurally.

You get more satisfaction from improving, simplifying and perfecting existing code than from building new features.

You do not accept code that merely 'works'. You rewrite, simplify and structure until it is right. You make deliberate choices instead of quick fixes.

You spot technical debt immediately and do not leave it lying around. Refactoring is not a separate moment, but part of how you work. You think in systems, not in individual tickets.

You dare to question the choices of others and substantiate your own choices on the merits. Discussions are about the best solution, not about who is right.

You communicate clearly and directly, without noise. You write code that others can understand and improve.

What we offer

At Digital Claim Solutions (DCSolutions), you work on a product where engineering matters and where your choices have visible impact. No layers of management, no endless decision-making. You sit close to the problem and the solution.

We offer a salary between €3,750 and €6,750 gross per month based on 40 hours, depending on experience and level. In addition, we offer 27 days of holiday and a three-pillar pension scheme through Brand New Day.

Every week you get a 'level-up' day to work on your own development, explore new techniques or solve existing problems better.

You work from Bussum or Enschede, with the option of working largely remotely. Our way of working is substantive, direct and focused on quality, not on process for process's sake.

Who are we?

Digital Claim Solutions (DCSolutions) develops platforms for handling personal injury claims. We help insurers speed up processes and make them more manageable. With our in-house developed solutions, we simplify claims processes, accelerate handling and improve customer satisfaction. In doing so, we make sure victims receive the help and compensation they deserve sooner, while at the same time easing the pressure on the healthcare system.
