О компании и команде
A major international company — a global leader in its niche — is expanding its Dealer Portal team and looking for a strong Senior Backend Developer to build a unified B2B platform from scratch for a worldwide network of retail and wholesale partners.
This is not just maintenance — this is greenfield development with complete architectural freedom, from idea to production. You'll work with high-load integrations, two ERP systems, legacy Java code (which you'll progressively rewrite), and modern PHP 8+.
🤖 Important: AI tools are not an option — they're a core part of our daily workflow. We actively integrate AI and automation across all business areas.
