## Description

Binnen de organisatie werken meerdere development teams. In het team waarin jij aan de slag gaat, werk je samen met zeven collega's. Samenwerking staat hierbij centraal: als team zetten jullie je in om klanten optimaal te ondersteunen met slimme softwareoplossingen.
Als Lead PHP Developer werk je aan het SaaS-platform. Jij bepaalt, samen met de Product Owner en het team, de koers van het platform. Je begeleidt je team bij de dagelijkse werkzaamheden en bent actief betrokken bij zowel de architectuur als de ontwikkeling. Samen met de Product Owner en Projectmanager vertaal je klantvragen naar concrete oplossingen. Soms gaat het om maatwerk, soms om generieke uitbreidingen waar alle klanten van profiteren.
Het is aan jou om de beste technische oplossingen te vinden en te realiseren. Dat vraagt om nauwe samenwerking met verschillende disciplines binnen het team. Je bent betrokken bij het volledige ontwikkelproces van het eerste idee tot aan de uiteindelijke implementatie.
