Medior Full Stack Developer (PHP / TypeScript)

MediaLab is a SaaS platform for distribution, viewing and storage of media assets, used by broadcasters, media producers, sports organizations and international brands. Think drone footage from a live event, raw camera files from a TV production, or source files well over 100GB, all moving through systems that need to handle them reliably. Every day, content viewed by millions of people moves through our systems, so reliability is a core requirement.

As a developer, you will maintain and extend the applications behind our B2B SaaS platform. The platform runs across AWS, Azure and hybrid environments, and we are not tied to a single cloud vendor.

We are a small but professional team based in Amsterdam, providing an enterprise-grade hosted software solution to international customers. Being a small team means this role calls for a flexible mindset, but it also means real ownership and responsibility over the parts of the platform you work on.

We believe people are capable of more than a checklist suggests. If you don’t meet every requirement listed below but think you’re a good fit, we encourage you to apply anyway.

You will:

• Build and evolve features across the MediaLab SaaS platform, frontend and backend
• Participate in technical discussions and contribute to architectural decisions
• Work directly with customers or stakeholders to understand requirements and test implementations

• Debug and troubleshoot production issues to keep the platform stable
• Improve reliability, scalability and maintainability of core systems

• Quality mindset: Strong attention to detail, a thorough testing approach and a commitment to maintainable code
• Teamwork: Ability to collaborate with colleagues to ship features together
• Communication: Ability to communicate progress and tradeoffs with stakeholders during development cycles
• Work permit: You already hold a valid work permit for the Netherlands, we are not able to offer visa sponsorship for this role

Bonus points if you have experience with

• Experience with our stack: MySQL, Redis, Memcached, OpenSearch, ImageMagick, FFmpeg, Linux, AWS, Azure
• Experience with React Native or Electron
• Experience designing multi-tenant, high-availability systems, including failover and disaster recovery
