All the players of the Special Cargo industry in one place

At Validaide you join an international team that supports our customers around the globe. As a fast growing company, we offer plenty of opportunities to further develop and grow your skills. We value your contribution, and we will support you where we can. 

Where you will work: As a result of the corona pandemic, we decided to become a fully remote team for now. When it is safe to do so, we intend to meet up in the Amsterdam area on a regular basis with the entire team in person.

​

We are looking for a full-time PHP developer who is experienced enough to do some heavy lifting on the more complex features, architecture, dependency management, algorithms, API integrations, and so forth. You are also able - and interested in! - taking upon yourself activities such as Pull Request reviews, maintaining and/or introducing tooling to support code quality and security, managing programming guidelines, and so forth. Yes, when you get this far, you’ll notice we’re asking a lot, but we are a profitable and growing company and as such there are many activities to choose from in order to contribute!

​

Validaide is a PHP Symfony application using Doctrine and Bootstrap for the front-end with a fair amount of JS tidbits (plain, jQuery, Vue). We have GitHub repositories, a fully automated build pipeline in Jenkins, use Ansible for deployment, and a bunch of other supporting tools. We also make extensive use of Behat to continuously maintain a fully tested application. This is necessary to develop fast in a reliable manner, but also ensure we meet pharmaceutical guidelines and regulations (GAMP 5, 21 CFR Part 11).

Our team currently consist of a dedicated front-end engineer, a dedicated test automation engineer and a senior developer. Our mindset towards development is this: we want to optimize our development speed whilst maintaining software quality. We achieve this with the following mantras: “good over perfect”, “don’t introduce a technology unless it is really needed”, “pragmatic DRY”, “sometimes you got to write stuff down, dummy”, “integration/smoke tests over unit tests”, “be a {boy/girl/other}scout“, “Bug? Write a test!”, and many more!

​

You are:

• A team player, well versed in English (and PHP/Symfony!), that operates well in a small-scale company

• Looking to contribute to something meaningful and interested in our industry

• Somewhat scarred by experience so you know what to do and when (and when not)

• Pragmatic with regards to our product and tech stack

• Having a desire to grow with us for a longer period of time

• Preferably living in the Netherlands - although we will also consider applications from other EU countries.

What we offer:

• Supportive of periods of being a digital nomad
