Your story

• You can work remotely from anywhere in Switzerland or join us on-site in our St. Gallen office, with the flexibility to choose your best work environment.

• You're experienced in backend software engineering, while having basic frontend engineering knowledge is useful.

• Ideally, you code with PHP or are willing to learn. Knowledge of TypeScript and other languages is welcome.

• You love to write readable, reusable, scalable, and well-tested code.

• You don't shy away from dealing with legacy code.
