Staff Engineer - PHP API

Our Vision

Cardmarket is all about the people. Our goal is that all people in the company come inspired to work, feel safe at work and return fulfilled at home. The most important part of our corporate culture is open communication, because only when we talk about problems, no matter how big or small, can we find a solution together.

Cardmarket connects people from all continents of the world, regardless of race, colour, ancestry, religion, national origin, gender or sexual orientation. We treat all people the same way and expect the same from all our applicants. It is the different perspectives that make us strong as a Cardmarket Family and ready to go into the future together as a diverse and inclusive team.

Our public API acts as an alternate interface to our website for users to manage their stock/orders with a focus on business users with high volume transactions. While it has and is serving us well, it’s showing signs of its old age and competing for developer time with the website.

We want to establish a dedicated API Developer Team to revitalize and maintain it. The team will also work closely with our Support department for communication with our customer’s developers.

You will be the founding member of the API Team laying the foundation for future expansion of additional developers.
