We are looking for an experienced Laravel developer to take responsibility for the backend of one of our recently launched products ROAM.plus. Interested? If so you will be building software for libraries and universities including Stanford, Yale, UPenn, the United Nations and many other high profile institutions. Together we are on a mission to change how universities are spending their resources with the aim of making science more open.

Responsibilities

You will become part of the ROAM product-team of 3 people: A UX-designer and a front-end developer. Together, the product team will be responsible for driving the development of ROAM and organize work from ideation, over design and coding of both front- and back-end.

The ROAM-application is built as a single-page application with a separate front- and back-end (separate codebases as well). The front-end is built in Vue.js and the backend is built in Laravel with a MySQL database. Our designs are made in Figma and the project is managed in Clubhouse (similar to Trello).

As datasets and the need for data exchange grows, the integration of our own products and external data-sources is becoming increasingly important. You will be given full responsibility for the ROAM back-end, and tying it together with our other products and services. You will, of course, work closely with our other back-end developers, who will support you in the understanding of the existing products and the requirements of those. Due to the responsibility of the position, the right candidate needs a high degree of independent drive and initiative, as well as solid experience with coding in Laravel.

The position requires a suitable candidate to be able to work independently with challenges and to come up with creative solutions on their own, so it involves much responsibility. The high level of independence requires good documentation practices but also presents a big opportunity to affect the direction of the software and code. For the right profile, the position offers a perfect chance to learn and grow as a developer.
