About Dyflexis

Every day, millions of non-desk workers show up, ready to achieve. Behind their success stands Dyflexis - because even champions need smart systems to stay ahead. At Dyflexis, we build workforce management solutions that keep hotels, stores and factories running smoothly. Simple, practical, and just what you need. No unnecessary complexity, no wasted time. Just straightforward tools that work where you work.

More than software
What truly sets us apart isn't just what we build, it's who we are: bold minds who dream big, build smart, and win together. We embrace Dutch directness because sugar-coating slows progress. Some people love the fire in our belly, others prefer to play it safe.

We're looking for the bold and brave ready to build something extraordinary. Sounds like you? Join us as our new Backend Engineer (PHP) and build the powerful core behind our global workforce platform.

What you'll do

At Dyflexis, we’re tackling workforce management with smart, simple solutions. From time tracking to shift swapping, our platform helps over a million users get the right people in the right place at the right time.

As a Backend Engineer, you’ll play a key role in shaping our backend systems and enabling seamless features that make complex processes effortless.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

• Design and build scalable backend solutions that keep our platform running smoothly
• Improve and optimize core features like authorization and routing
• Contribute to architectural decisions that shape our platform's future
• Review code and mentor other developers
• Keep our systems robust while we scale to serve even more users
• Think along about new features and improvements based on user feedback

You’ll work in focused project squads (with a Product Owner, UX Designer and fellow Engineers) to build, test and scale AI-driven features that directly improve workforce planning. We work in six-week sprints of deep focus, followed by two weeks of cooldown to gather feedback, refine features, and gear up for the next big win.
