Fullstack PHP + VueJS Developer

Senior Full-Stack Developer PHP/Laravel + Vue.js

About the role

We are reinforcing the engineering team of an international partner in the accounting sector, recently acquired by a large Dutch group. We are looking for a Full-Stack Engineer (PHP/Laravel + Vue.js/React) to join the team in Portugal and help drive the modernisation of an automation/integration platform used by accounting professionals.

Initially, you will work on a legacy system (first year mainly focused on maintenance and evolution), followed by a gradual transition to the core platform, where modernisation and continuous improvement will be the main focus.

What you will do

• Develop and maintain features using PHP/Laravel (backend) and Vue.js or React (frontend).
• Contribute to the maintenance and evolution of the legacy system, ensuring stability and performance.
• Participate in the migration and modernisation of the codebase towards the new core platform.
• Design, implement and consume REST APIs.
• Work with MySQL (and possibly NoSQL) databases in high‑volume data contexts.
• Ensure code quality through unit and integration tests.
• Collaborate with the team using Docker, CI/CD (Bitbucket Pipelines) and monitoring tools such as Datadog.
• Work closely with international stakeholders, mainly in the Netherlands.

What we are looking for

Must-have:

• Professional experience as a Full-Stack Developer (medior+ / strong medior).
• Strong experience with PHP, including Laravel in production.
• Solid experience with JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Experience with Vue.js (preferred) or React.
• Experience with MySQL (or equivalent relational databases).
• Exposure to NoSQL databases.
• Hands-on experience with REST APIs, Docker and unit/integration testing.
• Advanced English (B2+), comfortable working in an international environment.

Nice to have:

• Experience with Bitbucket Pipelines and Gitflow.
• Experience with monitoring tools such as Datadog.
• Knowledge of Elasticsearch.
• Previous experience in product/SaaS environments.

Location & work model

• Offices in Porto, Braga and Aveiro.
• Possibility to work remotely from Portugal, with occasional trips to the office (around once per quarter for people based outside those locations).

What we offer

• Integration into a growing tech team in Portugal, connected to an international group.
• Participation in product modernisation and migration projects with real business impact.
• Collaborative environment with room for best practice sharing, learning and continuous improvement.
• Career path aligned with your technical growth and interests (full-stack or more backend‑oriented).
