Junior PHP Developer

Our mission is to revolutionise how the world of networks, startups and talent connects. Inspired by our own experience in the Berlin ecosystem, we founded Sompani on the belief that communities thrive through sharing and mutual trust.

High-quality talent is constantly passing through networks, so why not share profiles you could not find a position for?

We build organically growing talent pools for VC & PE funds and their portfolio companies across the world. With the Sompani Talent Pools, portfolio ventures can exclusively share and access talent that previously went unseen.

A unique solution, based on AI matching algorithms, provided to some of the strongest portfolios in Europe and the United States.

🚀 What we do

• We build beautiful talent platforms called Talent Pools for venture capital funds and their portfolio companies
• On our Talent Pools, companies share and hire the best candidates in a way never done before
• We’ve been live since September 2018, and some of the biggest VC funds and 500+ global companies are our clients and love us
• We want to own this market in the next 6-12 months. Let’s do it together.

🥇 We are first movers. What does that mean?

• Smart people will try to copy us
• We have to be quick
• We have to be sharp and come up with pragmatic, clean solutions - quick.
• We have to be better

🔮 We will help jump-start your career

• You'll take a deep dive into Software Engineering and/or Systems Architecture in an early-stage startup. With us, you'll build something people love, from scratch.
• We have to be truly agile and deliver in quick, little iterations. We also can't afford unstable code or unreliable systems. We take Software Crafting and Site Reliability Engineering very seriously.
• You will plan and grow software and systems as if it’s your own company. If you are considering launching your own startup in the future, there is no better place to prepare and learn. You’ll get serious “ground-up” startup cred here.
• Your time at an early-stage startup like us will be a unique opportunity to grow Engineering/Ops skills and have fun at the same time.

💪 Who will you work with?

• We are 3 multicultural friends (🇪🇸🇷🇺🇩🇪) who live an ambitious dream and want you to join!
• You’ll have an opportunity to practice and refine your German, but English is often used in the office so no stress!
• We are looking for folks from even more cultures to join
• We love a fun, professional & highly motivated environment
• We built successful startups in Berlin and around the world in the past (Rocket Internet, Movinga, Medici Living)
• Help our CTO to design and implement new features and grow infrastructure.
• Implement new features that make our lovely customers happy. Fix bugs that annoy them.
• Improve our CI/CD pipeline (Git Lab). Deploying on a Friday night and actually enjoying the weekend is our end-game.
• Plan and grow Cloud infrastructure (AWS) and on-premise servers (Netcup).

⚔ What you bring to the battlefield

• You know your way around PHP (we use modern, type safe PHP 7.3) and/or (Postgre)
  SQL.
• You have some exposure to JS/CSS/HTML5 doing modern frontend work.
• You have installed Linux somewhere once or twice.
