Senior Web Developer (Drupal, TYPO3 & Symfony)

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 of around 70 experts from UX, frontend, backend, DevOps, and consulting, switching between challenging client projects. Depending on the project, you work on-site at the client or at your preferred ELCA location in Zurich, Bern or Basel.

In this newly created position, you actively shape things: Your technical judgement counts in projects, client meetings, and technology decisions.

Your tasks

• You are the technical contact person for PHP and CMS in our team in the German-speaking part of Switzerland and work closely with PMs and UX teams
• For complex questions about architecture, security or IAM, our international colleagues support you, and you continuously benefit from their know-how
• You contribute your technical perspective in client meetings and workshops and assist with presentations and pitches
• You estimate efforts and provide feedback on technical feasibility so that solutions are realistically planned from the start
• You actively use AI-supported tools such as coding assistants and agents in implementation to develop more efficiently with AI and quickly familiarise yourself with new technologies

• 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)
