Shopware 6. Symfony. Backend architecture. Develop backend systems you will still be proud of in three years.
Job Description
You do not want to just process tickets, but develop scalable backend architectures and take responsibility for technical decisions.
At arboro, you develop scalable Shopware 6 backends based on Symfony – from conception to API development to platform integration. You work in a small, experienced developer team with short communication channels, high quality standards, and real technical co-determination.
Our projects range between €40,000 and €150,000 in project volume – from individual Shopware 6 backends to complex system integrations and scalable platform solutions. No throwaway projects, but systems that must be maintainable in the long term.
How we work
- Git-Flow with Pull Requests and mandatory Code Reviews
- Unit Tests and Integration Tests as an integral part
- Static code analysis with PHPStan and Psalm
- CI/CD Pipelines with automated deployments (e.g., Bitbucket Pipelines)
- Docker-based development environments
- Jira for project and ticket management
- Sustainable solutions instead of technical debt
Our Tech Stack
PHP 8.x · Shopware 6 · Symfony · MySQL · Redis · Elasticsearch · RabbitMQ · REST APIs · Docker · Git · CI/CD

- Experience with Design Patterns
- Confident handling of version control with Git

- High standards for Clean Code and easily understandable code quality
- Strong in debugging complex systems
- Experience with software testing (Unit and Integration tests)
- Experience in developing REST APIs and integrating external systems
- Experience in dealing with relational databases and SQL
Nice-to-have
- Experience with shop systems, e.g., Shopware

- Experience with PHP template engines (e.g., Twig)
- Experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitLab CI, GitHub Actions)

- Debugging via XDebug
- Experience with performance optimization and caching strategies (e.g., Redis, Valkey)
- Experience with search technologies in e-commerce (e.g., Elasticsearch)
- Experience with code quality tools (e.g., PHPStan or Psalm)

- Experience with agile methods
You do not meet all points 100%? No problem – if you really know PHP, work professionally, and bring high quality standards, we look forward to your application.

Working at arboro – our developer team
Since 2009, we have been developing demanding e-commerce projects for medium-sized companies throughout the DACH region. As a Shopware Gold Partner, we develop Shopware projects with high technical quality and know the platform in depth – we expect that from you too.
You work with an experienced developer team of backend, full-stack, and frontend developers as well as technical project management. Technical decisions are made at eye level in the team – not across hierarchical levels.
What awaits you
- 100% Remote – no mandatory presence, no office obligation
- Anyone who wants to come to Schwaigern occasionally is welcome – it is not a must
- Flexible working hours, personal responsibility instead of control
- Projects with €40,000 – €150,000 volume – e-commerce development closely linked with SEO/GEO and SEA
- Modern equipment – free choice between Mac, Windows, or Linux
- 30 vacation days
- Company pension scheme with employer contribution
- Edenred voucher card (€48 monthly tax-free, after probationary period)
- Business Bike Leasing (after probationary period)
- Tax-free recreation aid
- Shopware certification (Certified Developer) – mandatory, actively supported
- Further training where you are intrinsically motivated – without pressure, with support
Why arboro?
No ticket pressure, no velocity games. Technical suggestions are discussed and decided professionally – not dictated by project managers. We prioritize maintainability over short-term deadlines. Code you write today, you must still be able to stand by in two years.
We do not expect all-rounders. Good backend development comes from specialization, clean architecture, and continuous development.
You have direct contact with the developers in the team and implement technical decisions without multiple management levels.
