Pluspunten
Strong Technical Culture: The company values clean code, scalable architecture, and proper documentation. I had the opportunity to work with modern PHP frameworks (Laravel, Symfony), CI/CD pipelines, Docker, and GitLab workflows, which significantly sharpened my skills.
Leadership & Autonomy: As a PHP Team Leader, I was given true ownership of backend systems, including architecture design, sprint planning, and code reviews. Leadership trusted our technical judgment, fostering a sense of accountability and pride in our work.
Mentorship Opportunities: I had the chance to mentor junior developers, conduct technical training, and implement best practices across teams. Watching others grow because of your guidance is extremely rewarding.
Collaboration & Communication: The culture encourages open communication between departments—Product, QA, and DevOps. Regular stand-ups, retrospectives, and sprint reviews helped us stay aligned and continuously improve.
