Project description:
Do you want to feel the rush of a scale-up instead of a vast corporate? Do you want to deep dive into fintech? Do you want to make a difference and have a real impact on the development of a complex IT platform? If so, then Blanco is the right fit for you. We’re a scale-up that develops innovative solutions for Wealth & Asset Managers and we’re looking for a PHP developer to join our team.

At Blanco, we have various product suites for our clients. One of our products is our so-called Portfolio Management System (PMS). Our PMS supports wealth managers in their core processes, such as portfolio administration, performance calculations, automatic ordering, CRM, client portal, and invoicing.

The PMS is build using a LAMP stack in native PHP (the tech stack of our other products is AWS/node.js/Angular). It is not that we are against frameworks or libraries, but we like to keep the code of our PMS clean and easy-to-understand and avoid dependency on 3rd parties. We are currently investing a lot in the PMS. We are providing new business functionality to our new and existing clients. We are migrating the application from a DC/on-premise setup to AWS. Also, we are building a completely new front-end in Angular that will provide the same functionality, but with an easy-to-use and modern UI/UX. We are also expanding abroad and therefore we are connecting even more banks. Lastly, we will be working towards an upgrade of our PHP version.

Responsibilities:
You will work closely with the Product Owner and the team to develop a wide range of functionalities for our clients. For example, connecting the application to international banks, enabling new authentication methods (e.g., SSO), improving our client portal, upgrading PHP and databases to the latest versions, and supporting the migration to AWS.

You will think of the best technological solution that balances short-term pragmatism and the long-term target architecture. You will of course also support the team in deploying and testing code.

Requirements:
- Proven experience as a Senior Backend (or full-stack) PHP developer
- Fully comfortable with LAMP stack
- Expert in writing native PHP code in 5.X
- Skilled in developing RESTful API’s and JSON’s
- Deep knowledge of relational databases and hands-on experience with MySQL
- Experience with version control methodologies (e.g. CVS, GitFlow) and software deployment pipelines
- Good communication skills
- You master the English language verbally and in writing so that you can also work well with colleagues abroad

Will be a plus:
- Ability to work as a full-stack developer
- Knowledge of AWS
- Knowledge of complex (financial) transaction systems
