Freelance back-end developer

Dutch Coding Company is a web & app studio in the heart of Brainport Eindhoven. We're looking for an experienced Laravel back-end developer who will take our systems to a higher level.

Dutch Coding Company frequently works with experienced freelance developers. We work with temporary full-time assignments and longer term part-time assignments. For this, we have a network of freelance developers.

As a back-end developer, you're, together with the team, responsible for the development and maintenance of digital products that help our clients grow. As a team lead, you'll set the bar when it comes to quality and the way of work within the team. You'll work directly with our client and the end user: you'll advise on technical solutions, manage the planning and expectations, and take responsibility for the team's delivery.

Even as a freelancer, you'll be involved with new projects from an early stage. Based on the required functionalities of a project, you'll write a project plan. Together with the team, you'll devise a technical solution, such as the API, database models, and other architecture. That's how you'll contribute to a good experience for end users. We handle a lot of privacy-sensitive data and our clients often depend on the products we create, so the quality and security of your work is very important.

The back-end team consists of experienced and passionate Laravel and NodeJS developers. You'll help the team to perform at their best, but you can also expect direct feedback if that benefits the quality of our products. Besides that, you'll work intensively together with the rest of the team, consisting of app (Flutter) and front-end developers, UI/UX designers, and sales consultants.

Besides the work, we like to have some fun together as well. Even when you're not currently involved with a project, you're more than welcome at our Friday drinks and outings.

• You're part of the team and like to work together, both with people in the same and different expertises.
• You have a degree in, for example, computer science or are able to prove your programming skills, knowledge of database structures, networking, security, and performance in some other way.
• You're proficient in PHP 8. We work a lot with Laravel, but if you have experience in another framework (e.g., Symfony or Drupal), you'll learn Laravel in no time.
• Experience with related technologies, including SQL (PostgreSQL, MySQL), API interfaces, Linux, CI/CD pipelines.
• You're incredibly ambitious, eager to learn, and you like to work on your professional and personal skills.
• Your code is high quality, fully tested in automated test suites, and you know how to work with a modern code standard (PSR).
• A professional and representative work ethos.

• You've worked with front-end technologies before, like Typescript, VueJS, or ReactJS.
• Experience with other back-end languages, such as NodeJS or Python, or other databases, including Elasticsearch or MongoDB.
• Experienced in Agile Scrum.
• You have a sense for details, particularly around user experience and data security.
• Experience with many different third-party APIs and libraries.
• You like to work on open-source projects. It is possible to work on open-source projects (during office hours).
• You like to stick around for the team activities.

We help ambitious organisations to realise their digital goals. We do that by developing digital products, such as apps and web platforms, that help organisations grow and enable them to service their customers in the best possible way. We support our clients with custom developed software and, after the first launch, hosting and support.

We're a fast-growing studio in Strijp-S, the creative heart of Brainport Eindhoven. Our clients include startups, corporates, and (semi-)governments, predominantly in Health/Sport, Energy transition, and Industry. Our stack consists mostly of Flutter, Laravel, and VueJS, but we have a passion to try out new things.

Being an agency, we think professional and personal development is super important. We work on multiple, short projects at the same time, which means you'll rapidly gain experience and we can apply the learnings from a project after a few weeks already. That's how we manage to deliver solid products that our customers can rely on.
