What you’ll do

We are currently looking for a modern PHP developer to help us develop and maintain an information system serving the entire company. We are not looking for a superhero, but a thoughtful person who wants to simplify things, use AI effectively, and find ways to save work for themselves and their colleagues through smart optimizations.

You will:

  • Not just writing code, but actively looking for ways to speed things up and simplify them.
  • Smartly using AI tools to speed up development, refactoring, and test generation (while maintaining best practices and security).
  • Develop internal tools and scripts that streamline business processes—if you see someone doing something manually that could be automated, you'll be given the opportunity to automate it.
  • Develop and maintain information systems written in CakePHP with heavy use of modern Symfony packages and a Bootstrap frontend.
  • Look for bottlenecks in processes and proactively propose technical solutions that will save the company time or money.
  • Work with Git in daily development, code reviews, and sprint planning.
  • Collaborate with other teams across the company (Sales, Infra, Management).

Your experience and skills

  • Willingness to learn, responsibility, and teamwork (a positive attitude and initiative are a must).
  • Enthusiasm for AI-assisted development: You see AI as a "partner" that frees you from routine tasks, but you also understand the risks and know that you are ultimately responsible for safe and functional code (no mindless copying). .
  • Experience with PHP development and MVC frameworks (we use CakePHP with Symfony packages).
  • Knowledge of design patterns (Adapter, Composite, Mediator, Strategy, etc.).
  • Good knowledge of SQL and working with databases.
  • Basic knowledge of the Linux environment.
  • Experience with REST API and XML.
  • Experience with Git.
  • Experience with static analysis (PHPStan) – an advantage.
  • Communicative level of English (written and spoken).
  • Czech or Slovak at C2 level.
  • If you are switching from another language (C#, Java, Ruby, etc.), this is not an obstacle.

What makes this role exciting

  • Work in a friendly and open team where your ideas really count.
  • Freedom in solving tasks – you can propose, try new approaches, and decide on technical solutions.
  • You will gain practical experience in a modern PHP ecosystem (CakePHP, MVC, Bootstrap) and deepen your knowledge of SQL, REST API, and working with XML.
  • We work with modern tools and support the creative use of Copilot/GPT where it makes sense.
  • Collaboration across the company – you will see how your work affects the business and real processes.

What we offer

  • Twice a year we distribute bonuses according to the company's profit
  • New modern offices at OC Flora
  • Hybrid work environment (home office)
  • 5 weeks of vacation
  • Referral bonus
  • Sick days, meal contributions, and a Multisport card
