About the role
- Development & optimization: Backend development with PHP 8, Symfony 7 and API Platform.
- Integrations & data flows: e.g., Mirth Connect, HL7, FHIR — building robust, secure interfaces.
- API design: Building and evolving internal and external APIs (versioning, authentication, rate limiting).
- Collaboration: Close cooperation with Frontend (React) and Product teams; well-defined interfaces and clear handovers.
- Quality: Unit and integration tests, code reviews, clean code practices and security best practices.
- DevOps & infrastructure ownership: CI/CD, containerization (Docker), orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes), Infrastructure as Code, observability (logs, metrics, tracing), alerting and incident handling.
Requirements
- At least 2 years of experience as a Backend Developer in a production environment (ideally in digital health or other regulated domains).
- Strong knowledge of PHP 8, Symfony 7 and modern API development.
- Practical experience with system integrations and healthcare standards (HL7, FHIR) as well as web stack components (nginx).
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD, Docker/Kubernetes, cloud infrastructure, IaC, monitoring and alerting.
- Ownership mindset: you take responsibility, provide clarity and deliver reliably.
- Open and constructive communication, high quality standards, and the drive to move things forward.
Benefits
- We are not a typical startup — we are self-funded.
- Key role in a self-financed company with a clear mission and short time-to-impact.
- Ownership instead of micromanagement: real decision-making freedom and direct influence on architecture, roadmap and operations.
- Work setup: modern office in Berlin (hybrid possible), focused collaboration and low bureaucracy.
- Room to shape standards — from coding guidelines to infrastructure blueprints.
- Dog-friendly workplace — you can bring your four-legged friend!
