About the company
Our client is a digital first agency, specialized in the strategy and creation of brands, digital identities, and online platforms. They get excited about (complex) digital products that they make simple and user-friendly for users.
Growth is at the core of everything they do, in every possible way - from the digital success of their clients to the personal development of their people. The team consists of 40+ passionate and experienced strategists, designers, and developers from various disciplines and cultures. Together, we develop innovative digital platforms and help brands transform into digitally-driven organizations.

With this Agency, you can grow without the bureaucracy of a large agency. We don't believe in fancy suits and jargon. What we do believe in is hard work, lots of laughter, and extended lunches. And of course, there's always good music playing at our office in the heart of Amsterdam.
Functieomschrijving
Our client is seeking a driven back-end web developer to join the team and work on exciting web projects!!
You have a focus on back-end programming languages and techniques such as PHP (Laravel), MySQL, and an interest in AWS serverless functions. Building dynamic digital platforms using frameworks and libraries is a challenge you enjoy, and you thrive on an API-first approach.
The role comes with a lot of freedom, responsibility within projects, and room for your own input. You always work collaboratively with the team, meticulously test everything within your projects, and ensure that every detail works flawlessly. You can independently complete projects. Your working style is structured, and this is evident in you and your work. Solution-oriented thinking is automatic for you. You are a natural perfectionist, able to distinguish between the essential and the incidental, and can easily get to the core of things. You have an independent work attitude, and you know how to find and use the right (online) tools, such as Chat GPT.
