PHP/Laravel 后端开发工程师（男女均可）

Intro

Do you want to work on a **legal tech application** that functions like a **digital legal department** for **e-commerce companies**? You enjoy developing robust backend solutions, think in clean business logic, clear interfaces and maintainable systems, and want to design technical solutions with real product relevance? Then you are exactly the right fit as a **Backend Developer (m/f/d)** at Händlerbund!

With us, you will develop a platform that digitally maps and automates legal processes. From creating legal content through contract and review processes to data protection and security questions. The goal is to turn complex legal requirements into reliable, understandable and efficient digital workflows.

In this role, you will work with **Laravel** on the further development of our backend, on integrations with partner systems and on implementing new functional requirements. You will be part of an agile team and actively contribute to technical solutions, code quality and the continuous development of the product.

Your tasks

- **Backend architecture & further development:** Building and optimizing backend functionality based on Laravel to ensure scalable and maintainable systems.
- **Implementation of functional requirements:** Translating requirements into clean, traceable and testable code that remains maintainable in the long term.
- **API development & integrations:** Development and maintenance of REST and, where applicable, GraphQL APIs, as well as connection to external partner and third-party systems.
- **External services & partner integration:** Technical evaluation and implementation of interfaces to external services and product partners.
- **Code quality & best practices:** Ensuring high code quality through reviews, automated tests, refactoring and clean implementation.
- **Documentation & knowledge sharing:** Creating and maintaining technical documentation on APIs, interfaces and integrations for internal and external use.
- **Agile feature development:** Contributing to the planning, implementation and improvement of features in an agile environment, including sprint planning and retrospectives.
- **Technology evaluation:** Analyzing new frameworks, libraries and tools to assess and implement their benefit for product development and system architecture.

Your profile

**Technical**

- **Experience with PHP & Laravel:** Hands-on development of web applications with Laravel or comparable frameworks.
- **Clean backend architecture:** Understanding of maintainable systems, stable business logic and reliable interfaces.
- **API development & integration:** Experience creating and connecting APIs and working with external services.
- **Quality-oriented way of working:** Structured, traceable and clean development with a focus on maintainability and code quality.
- **Agile teamwork:** Experience in agile teams, ideally with Scrum, including close collaboration and ongoing exchange.

**Nice to have, but not a must**

- Experience with Livewire, ideally in combination with Alpine.js, Flux UI and Tailwind CSS
- DevOps experience: cloud systems, PaaS platforms, containers, CI/CD or Linux server administration (e.g. DigitalOcean and Laravel Cloud)
- Experience with shop systems and developing plugins or apps for them (e.g. Shopify or JTL)
- Testing experience with PHPUnit or Pest
- Experience with event-based architectures, queues or asynchronous processing
- Experience with modularly structured applications and larger codebases
- Points of contact with AI-based features, automation or product-related AI use cases

**Personal**

- **Systemic thinking:** You understand connections, think in data flows and not just in features.
- **Solution orientation:** You analyze complex challenges in a structured way and find pragmatic solutions.
- **Ownership & structure:** You work independently, prioritize sensibly and keep your commitments.
- **Autonomous in the project team:** You take on tasks from aligning on the solution through to deployment, resolve open questions yourself and seek feedback.
- **Curiosity & development:** You are interested in new technologies and actively bring in ideas.
- **AI as a tool:** You use AI tools naturally in your daily development work and soberly assess where they bring real value in the product and where they do not.

Why us?

**Code. Chill. Repeat.**

- **4 days of code – 3 days for yourself:** At our company, the 4-day week is the standard. Not a gimmick, but reality. You work remotely or in our Leipzig office – wherever you perform best. Flexible hours, no micromanagement, full personal responsibility. And yes: permanent contract from day one.
- **Your stack, your style:** We value smart solutions, clean code and people who think ahead. Do you want to co-decide, experiment and not just work through tickets? Here you go. Plus: mentoring, further training as needed and room for real development.
- **Remote first, team always:** Despite working remotely, the team spirit remains. We celebrate releases, grill in summer and raise a glass to great ideas. Your office dog is just as welcome with us as your favorite editor.
- **Professionalism:** Real quality instead of show-off. We live agile development with clear iterations and direct feedback. You work with modern, professional tools, with clear roles and responsibilities – you know exactly what your job is and have the freedom to do it the right way. Clean code, smart decisions and a team that works together. Professionalism here means: you can focus on what you do best – developing.
- **Snacks, swag & soft drinks:** Fruit, muesli, coffee, water – all free of charge. No dress code. Come as you are. The main thing is that you feel comfortable.
- **Perks that make a difference:** Daycare subsidy, support with retirement provision, Leipzig job ticket or sports offers for your balance – from home gym to fitness studio for mind and body.
