We are looking for a skilled (Senior) Backend PHP Developer (m/f/d) to join our Checkout Team onsite in Hamburg or remotely within the EU.

The Checkout team is responsible for the complete order lifecycle, from customers first placing items into their baskets to handling the refund of a returned item weeks later. Between these two points the team interacts with a multitude of internal and external players, spanning from an in-house CRM team to the external marketplace and multiple payment providers in a variety of countries. The applications the Checkout team maintains span from high traffic & fault tolerance API hubs to security-conscious and reliable backend processing engines.

• Build and provide internal & external RESTful APIs that ensure a fast & frictionless updating of our products
• Develop multiple platforms ranging from high throughput to maximum faultlessness
• Constantly challenge and expand your knowledge of reliable architecture, programming and new technologies
• Work with processes that are adapted to the team’s and ’s needs
