Job Description

You don’t just implement software – you shape architectures, take ownership of technical decisions, and build scalable systems. In this role, you design and develop complex Symfony-based applications end to end, with a strong focus on clean architectures, performance, and sustainable code quality.

Your technical standards, holistic perspective, and experience make you a key pillar in the ongoing evolution of our platforms.

Finanztip is not a typical company. As part of the non-profit Finanztip Foundation, we pursue a clear mission: making finance easy to understand.
We are Germany’s leading financial guide and at the same time an employer where purpose and social responsibility meet ambition and high performance. More than 100 dedicated talents are already part of our team – and we continue to grow.

Because great work deserves appreciation and exciting tasks are important but not everything, we offer strong benefits such as workation options, a lunch subsidy and an extra day off for your engagement in financial education at schools. On top of that, you can expect a competitive salary as well as modern offices in Munich and Berlin with excellent technical equipment and plenty of space for collaboration.

• You design and implement Symfony-based web applications from concept to production, relying on your solid experience with PHP, Symfony and clean, scalable architectures.
• Secure, high-performance and maintainable solutions are developed by you using best practices, clean code principles and a strong understanding of object-oriented programming and design patterns.
• You conceptualise, build and optimise internal and external APIs, ensuring reliable, scalable and secure communication between systems and partners.
• Modular and maintainable microservices are designed and implemented by you in Symfony, combining architectural thinking with performance optimisation.
• You further develop and maintain back-office tools and customer-facing areas, applying backend expertise while keeping usability, performance and security in mind.
• Other teams are onboarded onto new services through your documentation, technical guidance and hands-on support, requiring clear communication and a collaborative mindset.
• Close collaboration with product managers and the software development team allows you to act as a technical interface and contribute analytical thinking in an agile environment.
  
  

In a nutshell – What sets you apart

• You have several years of experience with PHP and Symfony.
• Object-oriented programming, design patterns, and API development are part of your daily work.
• Clean code, testing, and high code quality matter to you.
• You approach complex requirements in an analytical and structured way.
• Basic frontend experience, for example with JavaScript, CSS, or React, would be a plus.
• You enjoy working in an agile team and are happy to be in our Munich office at least three days per week for this role.

You will be part of the Munich-based IT team and work closely with product managers and the software development team. Together, you develop solutions that combine business requirements with high technical quality – through open communication, short decision-making paths, and a shared commitment to clean, sustainable software.
