Our backend stack

You will be working with cutting edge technology within a company where we always strive to work within the latest version. To give you an idea, here's a glance of our backend stack:

PHP & Symfony

We're always on the latest PHP and Symfony versions, if possible on release day, or shortly after. We're currently running PHP 8.4 and Symfony 7.2 and we love it 💙

Event driven architecture & RabbitMQ

Commands and events are our first class citizens on our platform. For asynchronous message handling we use RabbitMQ.

GraphQL

We have built our own attribute based GraphQL framework for rapid development, to communicate with our iOS and Android apps as well as our Next.js web client.

MySQL & Redis

We rely on proven industry standards, we store our data in MySQL and Redis.

AWS & Kubernetes

Our whole infrastructure is hosted at Amazon with Kubernetes. We manage our infrastructure in code (IaaS) with Hashicorp tools (e.g. Terraform).

Code Quality

Quality is important so we're running full static analysis on the highest levels with PHPStan and strive to full unit and functional test coverage.

Domain Driven Design

Using the same ubiquitous language in our codebase as the business uses is key for future evolvability and maintainability of our platform.

Elasticsearch

We use Elasticsearch as search engine to help the fan find that awesome event and ticket they want to go to.

Our frontend stack

You will be working with cutting edge technology within a company where we always strive to work within the latest version. To give you an idea, here's a glance of our frontend stack:

Next.js

We are running Next.js for quite some years now, which means a lot of big changes in our codebase in the recent years. We try to stay on the latest version and make use of all the cool new features, including the ones from React.

Typescript

Like the rest of the community, we moved to TypeScript. The type safety already helped us a lot with preventing bugs from entering production. But also the developer experience is so much better than before 😍

CSS Modules

We are using a couple of solutions for writing our CSS, but tend to move forward with CSS modules. Clean and easy, plus well supported by Next.js. We also use Tailwind in some parts of our codebase and Emotion where we didn't change it to CSS modules just yet.

Integration-, unit- and end-to-end testing

Playwright, Jest, React testing library, we have it all, so we can be confident to push whenever we want to production.

Twig

For our admin we use Twig as templating language. With Symfony UX and all its packages, we want to improve the admin to make it modern in looks and functionality again.

Projects we are currently working on

Your curiosity is really important, as is your drive for innovation. The product team has a lot of freedom and space for personal creativity. Productivity and teamwork are key values for us so your contributions will have a huge impact. Your newly shipped feature will be used by thousands of our users immediately. Here are some example projects, to give you an idea of what's going on:

• As the event ticketing industry is evolving, we're broadening the support of more ticket file types;
• Automized SecureSwap configuration for Secure Swap partners, to make it easier for them to connect with us and make events 100% safe;
• Without events, our fans cannot sell or buy tickets, so we're improving event creation significantly;
• We want to ensure that as many listed tickets as possible will sell, so we’re upgrading SEO and findability on Google.

About you

• You have 3 years of experience in building web apps with PHP for the backend and React or Next.js for the frontend;
• You are based in The Netherlands, are an EU resident, or have an existing visa to work here. A relocation package is not provided;
• You use git every day, write meaningful commit messages, and test the code you check in;
• You not only focus on the details but also performance and testing;
• Even though you've been around the block, you also know that the field of software engineering is a fast moving target and there is no way you can know everything, so every day is an opportunity to learn and embrace change;
• You love creating cool stuff and have a sharp eye for detail, a great user experience is valued a lot at TicketSwap.

Excited and ready to join our awesome team?

Research shows that women and those in traditionally underrepresented groups tend to apply only if they check all the boxes. That’s a shame, as we would love to build a diverse team. If you know you’ve ‘got what it takes’, but don’t meet every requirement for the role, we would still encourage you to apply.

TicketSwap is looking for the best and motivated talent out there no matter your nationality, gender, sexual preference or religious beliefs. 🚀

Proactive talent acquisition from third parties is not appreciated.
