Senior Web Engineer - PHP & CMS

The Digital Agency at ELCA is the area where client projects become visible: web and mobile applications that people use daily. You work in an interdisciplinary team consisting of UX, frontend, backend, DevOps, and consulting, switching between challenging client projects. In doing so, you truly contribute your technical judgement: in architecture, client discussions, and technology decisions.

Your tasks

• You are responsible for end-to-end development on modern PHP stacks (Drupal, TYPO3, Symfony), from backend architecture to frontend integration with React, Angular or Flutter
• You are the technical voice in the room: towards PMs, UX teams, security and IAM experts, and directly with the client
• You mentor and develop your team further – both on-site and with our international offshore teams in Mauritius, Spain, Italy and Vietnam
• You participate in sales meetings and client discussions and contribute technical know-how, because your technical judgement decides deals

Our offer

• A dynamic working environment with a young and highly motivated team
• Diverse opportunities to expand your knowledge and experience through work on a wide range of exciting projects, clients and technologies
• Attractive prospects for further professional and personal development with various internal career paths
• A flat hierarchy and a culture of collaboration across all disciplines
• The chance to change people’s lives by building great software
• Work-life balance (41 hours/week with flexible hours, at least 25 days holiday), ergonomic and flexible workplace in a multicultural environment
• Interesting benefits such as: contribution to existing mobile phone or business phone, half-fare travelcard subscription and business travel by train in 1st class, attractive pension schemes, coverage of non-occupational accident insurance (private, worldwide), advanced daily sickness allowance insurance as well as fleet discount

What you bring

• Completed studies in computer science, communication systems or comparable disciplines 
• At least 5 years of experience in web development with CMS, DXP and/or eCommerce systems (such as Drupal, WordPress, Pimcore, eZpublish, Joomla, Typo3, Shopify)
• Solid PHP knowledge (Symfony, Zend) and sound frontend understanding (HTML5, CSS3, SASS/LESS)
• You can represent technical decisions, both towards developers and clients who do not know PHP
• You think as a T-shaped developer: deep in your core, but curious about everything around it
• Fluent in German (native or C2) and English (B2 or better)

We are convinced that diversity is the key to success. Those who approach challenges with curiosity, motivation and drive are exactly right with us! Be inspired by our motto: We make it work!
