Senior Backend Engineer - DAM

We're all about helping brands turn ideas into impact.

Frontify’s brand platform transforms how teams organize digital assets, collaborate on projects, and create engaging campaigns. Our people empower thousands of marketers and designers — including teams at Uber, Microsoft, Volkswagen, and Telefónica — to build engaging brands.

With headquarters in St. Gallen, Switzerland, and offices in London and New York City, we share a vibrant culture built on creativity, collaboration, inclusion, and joy. And we’re on the lookout for new team members to share our vision. If you’re ready for a brand-new adventure, keep reading!

Your new team is a group of motivated, collaborative, and innovative Engineers. Working on-site, hybrid, or fully remote, they come together to create and evolve a well-loved product but always keep room for new ideas and approaches. Outside of work, they’re parents, gamers, bookworms, adrenaline junkies, and so much more.

Our mission is to evolve Frontify’s platform capabilities and deliver useful everyday tools to our customers. We are innovating and working on creative solutions to help our customers manage their Frontify organizations and resources more efficiently.

You’ll work with our DAM team and play a critical role in elevating our team's performance and capabilities. With your deep expertise in backend development, you will handle new challenges independently, from architecture and planning to implementation. You will be in the driver’s seat for various projects and initiatives, mentoring junior team members and driving technical excellence. If you are passionate about innovation, fostering a collaborative environment, and making a significant impact, we invite you to apply and help us deliver outstanding solutions.

• You’ll develop new features within a modular architecture while migrating existing legacy code into it.
• You’ll architect solutions that ensure scalability, security, and maintainability.
• You will collaborate with product management, design, and engineering toward viable product development changes from discovery to delivery.
• You will mentor other developers regularly with pair programming, code reviews, and alike.

• You can work remotely from anywhere in Switzerland or on-site in our St. Gallen office – or even mix it up during the week! Choose where to work from that works best for you.
• You’re experienced in backend software engineering using PHP8+, Graph
  
  QL, REST, and MySQL.
• You are comfortable diving into the frontend when needed, using Type Script & React or other modern frameworks.
• You love to write readable, reusable, scalable, and well-tested code.
• You fend off the dreaded 'big ball of mud' by keeping coupling low, cohesion high, and SOLID principles close at heart.
• You’re proficient in writing Unit Tests and are familiar with test-driven development (TDD) and domain-driven design (DDD).
• You are not shying away from dealing with legacy code.
• You speak English fluently.
