Junior PHP Developer – Frankfurt – Build the Future of Payments with AI

Want to do more than just websites? Here’s your chance to shape how money moves.

A leading fintech in Frankfurt is on the hunt for two junior backend developers to join their growing team.

This isn’t maintenance work – it’s about building the systems that keep payments flowing securely, instantly, and at scale. When someone taps their card in a shop, your code makes sure that transaction happens.

What makes this exciting:

• Impact : You’ll be part of the engine room of European payments – millions of people will rely on your work every day.
• Growth : The team believes in hiring for potential. Whether you’ve done PHP, Java, or even Python projects before, you’ll get hands‑on mentorship and space to grow into a strong backend engineer.
• Innovation : This isn’t old‑school PHP. Think modern frameworks, scalable architecture, Docker, and even AI/ML tools built into the daily workflow.
• Collaboration : Work side by side with 11 backend and 6 frontend developers – a team where everyone brings their own approach to solving problems.

What you’ll bring:

• A degree, internship, or solid personal projects that show your coding ability.
• PHP skills (but if you’ve touched Java or Python, that’s also welcome).
• Curiosity for frameworks like Symfony/Laravel and tools like Docker.
• A problem‑solving mindset and eagerness to learn.
• German‑speaking, so you can collaborate effectively in the team.

What you’ll get:

• The chance to prove yourself on complex, high‑performance systems.
• A team culture that values fresh ideas and different approaches.
• Hybrid working – 3 days in the Frankfurt office, 2 remote.
• Exposure to cutting‑edge AI/ML technology in real‑world software.

This is more than just a junior role – it’s a launchpad. If you want to be trained, challenged, and part of something meaningful, this is the place.

Two positions are open, and interview slots are filling up fast – apply today to take your first big step in FinTech.
