Job description

⚠️ 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 job 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.

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.
• Office Budget: As this is a fully remote position, we provide you with a starting budget to get your home office kitted out with the right equipment.
• 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.
• 35 Paid Days Off: We focus on the value you bring, not how many days you spend behind a desk. We offer a generous amount of holidays so you can bring your A-game.
• Team Gatherings: A few times a year, we fly the team to Leuven, Belgium, to connect, collaborate, and have fun together.
• Support for Your Needs: If there’s something important to you that’s not on this list, let us know – we’re open to finding solutions.

If this sounds like the role for you, we’d love to hear from you!
