Full Stack Developer

About AlisQI

AlisQI is the no-code Quality Management Software for manufacturers. We empower manufacturing companies to transform their operations with easy-to-implement, highly flexible, cloud-based software. Our integrated approach to Quality Management allows manufacturers to grow a Culture of Quality, unlock their factory’s full potential, become smart and more profitable.

We are looking for people who, like ourselves, are smart, pragmatic, direct and on a mission! As we are looking to create a diverse and inclusive culture, we explicitly invite women, people of color, and non-Dutch people to react. Our development team is made up of 50% women and non-Dutch individuals. Read more about our core values.

The challenge

We work with a mature, business-critical codebase that supports more than 200 factories worldwide and 45k users. We have big plans, including:

• Migrating our monolithic platform into a structured, domain-driven architecture built on top of Symfony and its components

• Improving performance and scalability through implementation of queued workers

• Building a secure and thoughtful API that is usable by developers and our customer-facing AI tools

Our team's ambition is to continuously improve and extend the application through a truly agile process. We've built a great environment to support this goal:

• A small, diverse, and collaborative dev team

• Thoughtfulness matter more than lines-of-code

• Contributions to the open source community through our business-critical Twig static analyzer (TwigQI)

• Lastly, we build trust - we hired you, and you should be able to do great work because of that!

We're now looking for a full stack developer who is keen to join us on this journey and can help us deliver high-quality features quickly and sustainably. Alongside day-to-day development, you'll also take part in discussions around improving our architecture as we gradually move toward a cleaner and more modern codebase.

The role is weighted toward back-end development (roughly 80%), with the remaining 20% dedicated to front-end tasks to keep things well-rounded.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Creating, testing, and maintaining software that aligns with customer requirements and business objectives

• Contributing ideas to improve technical design and development processes

• Investigating issues, responding to incidents, and documenting solutions

About you

• A PHP developer with a few years of real-world experience under your belt - you don't need to be a greybeard, but you should be comfortable navigating a codebase you didn't write

• You're not afraid to work outside of a framework (we are moving towards Symfony, but a lot of our code is still proprietary with components)

• You get things done without needing everything spelled out, and you know when to ask for help vs. when to just dig in

• Experience managing databases

• Some exposure to JavaScript/TypeScript

• You actively use AI tooling to punch above your weight - and you're honest about what it can and can't do for you

• Resident in the Netherlands

Nice to haves

Anything you bring from the below list is an added bonus but not a requirement:

• A plus if you have experience working with Twig internals

• Worked with Stimulus/Hotwire

• Infrastructure management, such as PaaS (Upsun) and Microsoft Azure

• Worked in a B2B or Enterprise environment that builds for resilience

What we offer

We are independent thinkers and expect our team to be independent as well. We strive to continuously improve ourselves and are always experimenting with technologies. 

• We are a remote company, so you work from home, but are constantly in touch with the team through Slack and Teams. 

• We meet twice a year in person to socialize and celebrate our achievements together! We also have a monthly work together day for those living in the Netherlands. 

• As we are growing, there will be plenty of opportunity to learn and venture into new areas. 

• We would love it if you were better at stuff than we are. Help us bring AlisQI to its next level of growth! 

• We provide competitive compensation. The range for this annual salary is between €60k and €75k per year.

• You’ll receive everything you need for a comfortable home office, including a laptop and two screens. 

• We provide an education budget because we want you to keep growing, attend events and conferences, and improve your skills.
