Back-end Developer

Weichie.com is looking for a back-end developer to join our team! You are responsible for the entire development process from customer requests to delivery. You will do this together with our team for a varied and wide range of assignments, from web and apps to hosting, API, and e-commerce solutions. You’ll be working on projects for both the American and European markets.

Who we are

We are a creative digital agency in Brussels that partners with global brands striving to make authentic connections. We’re not just here for the awards (though they are nice), we’re here to make cutting-edge stunners that last, surprise, and solve the problem.

This isn’t art-for-art’s sake or tech-cause-it’s-trendy, this is about redefining the interactive space. We believe a talented, agile team and a fresh, insightful approach are how you elevate the field, get noticed, and stand above the noise.

Who you are

You ideally graduated from a school specialized in digital. Experience in a studio, an agency, or as a freelancer will do the trick.

We are looking for a back-end developer with experience building web applications. As a back-end developer at Weichie.com, you’ll help shape the back-bone of our creative projects within a team of talented developers and creatives.

You will help build and maintain scalable applications and webshops in plain PHP and Laravel (Vue is nice too).

You believe in the quality of code. You should know how to balance your own high standards of code quality with the problems you are solving and external constraints like how time-sensitive it is or the impact it will have.

You like solving problems. You are happy working through difficult technical problems and solving them in straightforward ways. If you don’t know the answer immediately, you will be comfortable digging into the problem until you figure it out and know when it’s time to ask the right point to ask for assistance.

You understand development processes. You are comfortable writing Git/Git flow, pull requests, and tests. You have knowledge of CI/CD and know how to implement them.

You are a good communicator. You should value empathy and kindness and be able to articulate your ideas and feelings when writing or speaking.

You love working in a team with all the other talents in the studio — #teamplayer.

Anyway, you’re a rare gem ❤
