Teamleader: who are we and why should you care?

Teamleader is a SaaS scale-up founded in 2012 in Ghent, Belgium and since 2022, part of the Visma Group. Our goal is to automate and simplify work for small and medium European businesses. With Teamleader Focus, we simplify work for small businesses by offering an all-in-one solution for CRM, project management and invoicing. Teamleader Orbit, acquired in 2019, focuses on helping medium-sized agencies thrive. In 2022, we acquired Vectera, which provided our Customer Meeting add-on. 

Us, in a nutshell

We have the energy and boldness of a start-up and the expertise and pragmatism of a scale-up. The result: a team of both young and seasoned professionals led by supportive and approachable managers who give recognition and rewards for hard work. You’ll be working in a fast-paced tech environment with open feedback culture and room for initiatives as well as ideas.

Technologies/Tools Used:

• PHP (latest version)
• Slim Framework (as a microframework)
• Domain-Driven Design (DDD) and Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS) for microservice architecture
• Docker (for local development)
• Kubernetes (for production environments)

What will you do?

As a senior software engineer, you have expertise built up from years of experience. You know the technology stack and are able to explain problems or solutions to your more junior colleagues or translate them to people with another technical background.

You can analyse problems, come up with solutions and then plan them for yourself and the team without oversight making sure everything is well documented.

• You are a key member of a cross-functional team and responsible for providing the backend functionality of a feature or initiative. You turn functional challenges and acceptance criteria into skillfully crafted and easy maintainable application code.
• Not only that, but you use your experience to pinpoint bugs, bad coding patterns, identify risks and come up with potential solutions
• Once you get used to the Teamleader way of doing things, you make suggestions to improve the process and code quality.
• You participate in technical discussions, both within your team and with other teams, to come up with solutions for common problems.
• You coach more junior developers through pair programming sessions, code reviews... or just by asking them the right questions.
• You maintain a critical eye towards potential API improvements.
• You monitor the build and deploy pipeline to make sure your team's work ends up in our customers' hands swiftly and adequately

So is this you?

• You have at least 5 years of experience as a software developer, and you have been working in multi-team organizations and on larger software systems.
• You have in-depth, hands-on experience with PHP and its ecosystem and frameworks and a thoughtful understanding of how modern web applications should work.
• You use your experience to pinpoint bugs, do root cause analysis, detect bad coding patterns, identify risks and come up with skillfully crafted (template) solutions.
• You are a craftsperson which takes pride in code quality, excellence of delivery, documentation and refactors.
• You run feasibility checks on multiple ideas or potential solutions and help prioritizing within the team.
• What drives you are solid abstractions, clear technical designs, and driving growth and technical excellence.
