PHP Developer

About Us

We are on a mission to make looking after your home effortless, and to clean up an industry that has too often left its workforce in the shadows. Batgroup is the company behind Batmaid, our English-speaking brand, and PFA / Putzfrau.ch, our German-speaking brand: a portfolio spanning direct cleaning, recruitment, and fiduciary services that has made us Switzerland's number one home cleaning company, with more than 4,000 cleaning professionals and a growing footprint across Europe.

Our purpose goes beyond business. It is about people. Every cleaner who works with us deserves declared, insured, and properly protected employment, on permanent contracts governed by the sector's Collective Bargaining Agreement, with real access to pensions, sickness cover, and paid leave. By taking on the multi-billion-franc cleaning black market, we level the playing field, bring fairness to a sector that badly needs it, and give customers professionals they can genuinely trust in their homes. That is our fight, and it is why we rally behind #fightblackmarket.

Technology is how we win it. We build the platforms, apps, and services that let thousands of customers book a trusted cleaning in a few clicks, and that let thousands of cleaners work with dignity and security. That is where you come in.

The Role

We are looking for a skilled PHP Developer to join our engineering team in Warsaw (hybrid) and help build the platforms and backend services at the heart of Batmaid and PFA. You will design, develop, test, and maintain the web applications and services our customers and cleaning teams rely on every day, working closely with product, data, and operations to ship solutions that are scalable, reliable, and a pleasure to use.

AI-assisted development is simply part of how we work. The team uses modern AI tooling to move faster through the routine parts of the job, which frees up time and attention for what actually matters: clean architecture, sound problem-solving, and high-quality code. We are pragmatic about it. We reach for these tools where they genuinely add value, and we keep human judgement firmly in charge.

What you will do

• Develop, test, and maintain dynamic web applications and backend services in PHP and Symfony
• Write clear, well-tested, maintainable code, including unit, integration, and end-to-end tests
• Apply SOLID principles and sound object-oriented design to keep our systems clean as they scale
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams across product, data, and operations to turn business needs into working software
• Use AI-assisted development thoughtfully, to raise both your speed and the quality of what you ship
• Contribute to architecture decisions and help raise the engineering bar across the team

What we are looking for

• 3 to 5 years of hands-on experience building applications in PHP
• A genuine habit of writing clear, understandable, and maintainable code
• Confidence writing tests across the stack: unit, integration, and end-to-end
• Strong knowledge of and experience in Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
• A good grounding in SOLID principles, object-oriented programming, and Git
• Working knowledge of Symfony
• Very good command of English (our working language)

Nice to have

• Experience with distributed systems and microservice design
• Familiarity with CQRS or similar architectural patterns
• Experience designing and building REST APIs

How you work

• You lead by influence and example, and people learn from the way you do things
• You enjoy mentoring and lifting up the developers around you
• You can explain technical things to non-technical colleagues, clearly and without jargon
• You are dedicated and take real ownership of your work

• Room to grow, professionally and personally. Our platform is full of real challenges, the company continues to grow, and there is space to grow with it.
• Regular team events in Warsaw to enjoy your colleague community
• Hybrid or remote-friendly working.
• A bright, modern office in the heart of Warsaw, a short walk from the metro.
• A VIP private healthcare package.
• Multisport membership.
• The best tools for the job, including the full JetBrains suite.

Sounds like you?

If you want to write software that genuinely improves people's working lives, while keeping good company with a team that cares about its craft, we would love to hear from you.
