Location & English requirements
This is a fully remote position within the European Union, with priority given to candidates based in Poland. Other EU locations may also be considered.
Strong English (Upper-Intermediate/C1 or higher) is required — all calls, discussions, and documentation happen fully in English, and you'll be expected to actively participate in technical conversations: asking questions, raising concerns, proposing alternatives. If your English is below this level, you likely won't feel comfortable in this role's day-to-day communication — so please keep that in mind before applying.
Who we're looking for
This is not a "heads-down, ticket-by-ticket" role. Our client's team is a well-established international group of up to 50 people, and they're explicit about what doesn't work for them: people who stay quiet in discussions, who wait to be told exactly what to do, or who seem to be splitting focus with other projects. What they want instead:
- Someone who speaks up - asks clarifying questions, flags risks, and isn't afraid to challenge an approach if they see a better one.
- Someone who treats this as their project, not a rotation - full commitment, no split attention across other engagements.
- Someone comfortable operating with a good degree of autonomy, while staying closely aligned with the team.
- Someone who brings ideas to code reviews and architecture discussions, not just implementations.
Required skills
- Commercial experience with PHP and JavaScript, Middle+/Senior level
- Experience with modern JS frameworks (Vue.js preferred)
- Strong understanding of OOP, interfaces, and clean code principles
- Experience with PSR-4 standards and service-oriented architecture (SOA)
- Experience with unit testing (PHPUnit or similar)
- Upper-Intermediate+ English, spoken and written
- Demonstrated ability to communicate proactively: asking questions, giving feedback, contributing opinions in team settings
Will be a plus
- Experience with MediaWiki
- Experience with enterprise web platforms or CMS
- Prior experience working in distributed international teams (not local outsourcing setups)
Project description
Our client is a German product company focused on enterprise wiki solutions based on MediaWiki, used by companies worldwide for internal documentation, collaboration, and knowledge management.
This is a long-term product, not a short-term outsourcing project - the team has been building and refining this platform for years, with a strong focus on code quality, usability, and sustainable architecture. The team (Germany + EU, up to 50 people) genuinely values open communication and healthy work-life balance - but that culture depends on people who participate in it, not just execute tasks silently.
Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain customer-specific features for BlueSpice
- Continuously improve and modernize the product
- Support the team with bug fixing and error analysis
- Write clean, maintainable, and testable code
- Actively participate in code reviews and technical discussions — bring your perspective, don't just approve
- Work closely and communicatively with the German product team
Technology stack
PHP, JavaScript, Vue.js, MediaWiki, MySQL, Elasticsearch, PHPUnit, SOA, PSR-4
We offer
- Long-term, stable product project - full commitment expected, no parallel projects
- Direct collaboration with the German team
- Predictable workload and healthy work environment
- Interesting technical challenges and a mature, well-maintained codebase
- Competitive compensation
- Paid vacation and sick leave
- Optional business trips to Germany
- Professional growth within a strong product team
