Alblasserdam, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands
Apply for this job

Full-Stack PHP Developer - Laravel / Symfony / React

Dordrecht area - hybrid, 3 days in the office - Up to €85k+ gross (medior to senior, depending on level)

Stack: PHP (OOP), Symfony, React, AWS, MySQL, Redis, RabbitMQ


You'd rather build the new platform than babysit the old one.


This is a profitable, ISO-certified fintech quietly moving millions of payment requests a month across Europe. Invoicing, payments and collections, made smooth for the kinds of companies most people dread paying. They've grown from 15 to 80 people globally without losing focus, and they're now rebuilding their core platform from the ground up. This is the person who helps build this platform and grow the Dutch team (currently at 6 developers with plans to scale).


🏗️ Half greenfield, half migration - you'll build the new portal and move real, live functionality that customers depend on every day

🤖 AI is in the daily workflow, not stuck on a roadmap - Claude Code is part of how this team actually ships

💶 Salary bands published openly. No "what did you earn before" games

📈 Around 20 engineers across four products - small enough that your code matters, mature enough to be stable

🎉 Real work-life balance and a team that genuinely celebrates wins (parties, trips, the lot)


What you'll be doing


⚙️ Building the new Symfony and React platform alongside the team

🔁 Migrating live functionality onto AWS without breaking what customers rely on

🧩 Coding the message and collection logic that connects the platform to its customers

🤝 Working shoulder to shoulder with product owners, consultants and fellow engineers


You'll love this if...


✅ You're an expert with PHP (Laravel OR Symfony)

✅ You want ownership, not a ticket queue

✅ You're as happy untangling messy real-world migration as you are building new

✅ You speak Dutch and want to be in the room with your team

✅ Bonus points if you have experience in fintech or secure environments.
