Job Summary
In this role, you will develop high-performance backend solutions, optimize databases, and integrate external services to create stable, scalable systems that enhance our platform sustainably.
Job Technologies
Your role in the team
- As a Backend Developer at Migrando, you build the technical foundations on which our entire ecosystem runs. Our platform consists of multiple portals, tools, and automations used daily by thousands of users.
- You work closely with frontend, design, SEO, and automation, ensuring that our systems run stably, securely, and efficiently.
- Whether it's clean logic in WordPress, working with the HubSpot API, automations in N8N, or high-performance databases in Supabase – you develop solutions that work long-term and can scale.
- You integrate external services such as CRM systems, payment providers, or marketing tools, build REST endpoints, and ensure secure, reliable data exchange.
- You develop server-side logic and new features - from small plugins to complex modules for our WordPress instances.
- You coordinate closely with the frontend team, provide the appropriate endpoints, assist with deployment, and collaboratively consider technical improvements.
- You develop custom functions for product logic, checkout, order processes, or customer areas.
- You maintain and optimize databases, organize tables logically, improve queries, and keep our data structures clean and performant.
- You are working on improving load times (cloud or local network), query optimizations, caching strategies, and an overall faster server architecture.
- You develop cron jobs, automated data processing, N8N or HubSpot workflows, and background processes that make our daily operations more efficient.
- You work on small services, modules, and helper processes that advance our platform and team technically.
- You are working with developer tools in HubSpot and ensuring seamless integration into our existing ecosystem.
- You're eager to try out new tools, frameworks, or modern WordPress architectures (e.g., headless approaches) and bring them into the team.

Our expectations of you
Qualifications
- You know how to build interfaces, optimize databases, and write code that is not only performant but also understandable by others.
- If you're not afraid of responsibility and eager to actively shape a technical ecosystem, we look forward to getting to know you.
- You feel at home in the backend and enjoy developing functions that run reliably, are well-structured, and easy to extend.
- You are familiar with modern PHP development, comfortable with OOP and basic patterns, and aware of the current state of the art.
- You know how themes and plugins are structured, maybe even work with hooks, and feel at home in the WP ecosystem.
- You are capable of planning and utilizing database structures effectively. You are familiar with best practices and feel comfortable working with databases.
- Readability and architecture are not just nice-to-haves for you. You write code that others will still understand in six months – including yourself.
- You have already worked with REST or similar interfaces and know how to integrate services, authorize them, and possibly create your own endpoints.
- You are familiar with common vulnerabilities and know how to protect against them (in our case: website vulnerabilities - our internal tools are only accessible within the network).
- We work with sensitive customer data. We expect an awareness of secure storage and processing of this data.
- You're eager to learn new tools or frameworks and to develop your professional skills.
- You also consider scalability, data integrity, and long-term maintainability in your work.
- You are communicative and open. We don't really want to write generic things here, but this point is important.
- Good collaboration is just as important to us as pure expertise.
- You speak German or English, or preferably both (around B2 level).
Experience
- We do not consider degrees or certificates important – what matters is that you master your craft and have gained practical experience in backend development.
- A colleague with whom collaboration is pleasant and smooth can be more valuable in everyday work than someone with more experience, with whom communication is rather sluggish.

What we offer
- With us, you bear real responsibility for the technical foundation on which everything is built.
- No isolated ticking tasks – you actively shape from the start how our systems work and communicate.
- You decide which technologies we use, how interfaces are built, and what our technical ecosystem will look like in the long term.
- You work in manageable teams where everyone knows each other and conversations happen quickly.
- Basically, we work in the office because collaboration and exchange in person are important to us.
- At the same time, working from home is possible at any time. Even spontaneously and without lengthy coordination.
- We do not have fixed time windows during which you must be present.
- Whether 4-day week, 30 hours, or a customized model. Your job should fit your life, not the other way around.
- Sometimes you just need a break.
- We plan our teams in such a way that spontaneous days off are also possible, without stress or guilt.
- Sick children, parents' evening, or a last-minute doctor's appointment – we know that such situations are part of everyday life.
- Family and health take priority for us.
- With us, you don't have to navigate through hierarchies or write long emails to be heard.
- You can contact colleagues, team leads, or management directly at any time.
- Decisions are made quickly, communication is direct, and no one is sitting in an ivory tower.
- We are looking for colleagues who think along.
- If you have an idea on how a process could be improved, a tool could be useful, or a workflow could be made smarter, then you will be heard.
- Your work has a direct impact on people's lives.
- You support them in settling in Germany, finding security, and starting a new chapter.
- This is not dry office work - it is work with real meaning and tangible impact.
