Job description

Who We Are

Liongate advises, builds and operates custom cloud solutions for its customers in our own AWS Cloud.

We leverage the potential of digitalisation to create unique value for our customers.

By creating intelligent end-to-end processes, the customer experience is consistently automated and optimised across all channels of the customer journey.

Thanks to open system architectures, we tailor the required services precisely to the customer's needs. Agility and team ownership (BizDevOps) combined with modern solution approaches ensure short development and release cycles for scalable and fail-safe results.

Liongate creates solutions that are able to integrate with and control the most diverse services and customer processes. Liongate also offers its own cloud-based fully managed services: The customer takes care of the core of their business, we take care of the rest.

What You Can Expect As a Senior Backend Developer

• You will design and develop our modern, web-based solutions on the cloud infrastructure.


• You integrate these solutions with and at our customers.


• You work in agile teams.

What You Bring Along

• You have at least three years of proven experience in object-oriented development with PHP and master the relevant technologies and design patterns for modern, distributed web applications.


• You enjoy developing robust and scalable backends in PHP with current, modern frameworks such as Laravel.


• You design and implement flexible and powerful interfaces (REST API) and know the necessary standards and technologies (swagger, Open API).


• You have experience in the design and implementation of relational and other database systems and cleverly use existing services (mySQL, MongoDB, postgres).


• You have experience with cloud services preferably from AWS.


• You are curious and interested in the new and diverse technological potentials of digitalisation.


• You have successfully completed a degree in (business) informatics or comparable training.


• Of course, you have strong communication skills, a high level of commitment, team orientation and the ability to work under pressure.


• You perform your tasks independently, reliably, with commitment, in a solution-oriented manner and with high quality standards.


• You want to continuously improve your skills and abilities and share your knowledge.


• Like us, you are interested in a long-term cooperation.


• We expect you to have a good command of German (at least C1) and English (written and spoken).

What We Offer

• Interesting tasks on current topics with new tools and technologies. Methodically and professionally, we are at the forefront and would like to expand this position with you.


• Relevant and diverse major projects. You will make a significant contribution to our interesting projects with our renowned and long-standing major customers.


• Corporate culture and team spirit. We understand each other personally and professionally.


• Freedom and flat hierarchies. We speedboat and often overtake the somewhat sluggish big tankers with a smile. With us, you'll get behind the wheel faster than you might imagine.


• We offer you an individual career with exceptional entrepreneurial development opportunities. We don't like forms and approval processes.


• A 40-hour week and 30 days' holiday are standard with us, as well as flexible working hours and the opportunity to work from home.


• Be mobile with your Deutschlandticket! We cover the costs.


• Looking for your dream bike? We will pay your leasing rate.


• With Belonio, you receive numerous discounts and special offers, whether it's shopping, traveling, or leisure.
