Apply for the job at our recruitee site. If you apply within Stack Overflow I can not guarantee a response.

 Important : Although this is a fully remote role, we only accept candidates that are within 2 hours of CET (Central European Timezone). Applying outside of that is a waste of your (and our) time. 

Our services are built around a core of PHP, postgres, React with millions of people per day using some aspect of the system. We're big believers in devops/CI - building, testing, and deploying to any of our environments are as simple as pushing a commit to a git branch.

We're a technology company first: This means that in addition to product and business development plans, we put emphasis on continual improvement of our stack and infrastructure. Current projects include API'ing our full application suite and maturing our API's

All of the technology is built and maintained by this small development team, so from day 1, software you write will be used by people from all over the world.

You will need to be able to work independently and remote. That being said we already have a functioning remote team in place and the right tools to make you an essential part of it:

- The right tools: Slack, Jenkins, Github, Linear, ... 
- Visit our HQ in Belgium, Europe a few times per year.
