## About the Role

PHP

## Description

At **ticketmatic** , we don't just sell ticketing software, we build **tailor-made digital solutions for leading cultural organisations across Europe** . More info about us: ticketmatic.com**.**

We're looking for a **medior to senior PHP/Laravel developer** who enjoys combining **strong technical skills with creative problem-solving and customer collaboration**.

This is **not** a pure execution role.

You'll help think through problems, explore possibilities, and turn ideas into robust, high-impact solutions.

**Important note:**

Because this role involves regular in-person collaboration with both colleagues and customers,

**we can only consider candidates who are currently based in Belgium**.

**What you'll be doing**

As part of the **ticketmatic Studio** , you'll work directly on custom projects for cultural organisations such as: **Ancienne Belgique, Flagey, De Roma, Koninklijk Theater Carré, Theater Rotterdam**.

You will:

 * Design and build **custom PHP/Laravel plugins** on top of the ticketmatic platform

 * Create **new ticketing flows, data integrations and add-ons** that significantly improve how organisations operate

 * Analyse customer needs and translate them into **technical concepts and solutions**

 * Collaborate directly with customers, from short alignment calls to hands-on brainstorms

 * Take **full ownership** of your projects: from analysis to delivery

**Typical split:**

70% development · 20% analysis \& thinking · 10% communication

**What makes this role different**

 * **Real impact** -- Your work directly powers the day-to-day operations of major cultural organisations

 * **Deep customisation** -- Our plug-in architecture allows you to go far beyond configuration and truly build client-specific solutions

 * **Product × agency hybrid** -- The stability of a product company with the variety and creativity of agency work

 * **Innovation as a differentiator** -- Our Studio projects will be a main driver for our further European expansion

**This role is for you if you...**

 * Have **solid experience with PHP and Laravel** (medior or senior level)

 * Enjoy thinking beyond "the product" and **co-creating solutions with customers**

 * Are comfortable working autonomously and taking responsibility

 * Like variety and context-switching between different projects

 * Are fluent in **English and Dutch**

Nice to have (but not required):

 * Experience with Livewire

 * Docker / Kubernetes

**This role is *not* for you if you...**

 * Prefer only executing predefined tasks

 * Want zero customer interaction

 * Need constant direction or tightly scoped work

**Practical details**

 * **Leuven (Belgium)** -- hybrid setup, minimum **3 days/week in the office**

 * Team of \~25 people

 * Scale-up environment with **real growth opportunities** as our Studio expands across Europe
