Your team
Your new team is a group of motivated, collaborative, and innovative Engineers. Working on-site, hybrid, or fully remote, they come together to create and evolve a well-loved product but always keep room for new ideas and approaches. Outside of work, they’re parents, gamers, bookworms, adrenaline junkies, and so much more.

Your mission

Our mission is to evolve Frontify’s platform capabilities and deliver useful everyday tools to our customers. We are innovating and working on creative solutions to help our customers manage their Frontify organizations and resources more efficiently.

You’ll join the Guidelines team, where we’re looking for a competent and curious Senior Backend Engineer who thrives on solving architectural challenges and getting things done. You’ll work across the Brand Guidelines product area, including our public API and the Brand SDK, while driving the scalability, reliability, and performance of our product.

Your responsibilities

  • You’ll develop new features within a modular architecture while migrating existing legacy code into it.
  • You’ll architect solutions that ensure scalability, security, and maintainability.
  • You will collaborate with product management, design, and engineering toward viable product development changes from discovery to delivery.
  • You will mentor other developers regularly with pair programming, code reviews, and alike.
  • Your story

  • You can work remotely from anywhere in Switzerland or on-site in our St. Gallen office – or even mix it up during the week! Choose where to work from that works best for you.
  • You're experienced in backend software engineering using PHP8+, GraphQL, REST, and MySQL.
  • You are comfortable diving into the frontend when needed, using TypeScript & React or other modern frameworks. 
  • You love to write readable, reusable, scalable, and well-tested code.
  • You fend off the dreaded 'big ball of mud' by keeping coupling low, cohesion high, and SOLID principles close at heart.
  • You're proficient in writing Unit Tests and are familiar with test-driven development (TDD) and domain-driven design (DDD).
  • You are not shying away from dealing with legacy code.
  • You speak English fluently.
