Today, IDALABS develops end-to-end, highly integrated ERP software that prepares craft and industrial businesses for the future. At IDALABS, we develop comprehensive ERP software for the construction industry. Our customers are manufacturers working with wood, plastics, or metal, and they use IDA to run their entire business. Behind it are complex business processes, large amounts of data, demanding logic, and a system that has grown over many years.\n\nIn short: you can expect real challenges and plenty of opportunities to develop your technical skills and industry knowledge. If you enjoy thinking things through and building thoughtful solutions, you will fit right in.\n\nYour role in development\n\nAs a backend developer, you actively shape our ERP solutions and drive their technical implementation. You work with our team on site in Kiel on sophisticated software architectures.\n\nWe are looking for someone to join our backend development team. Someone who knows their way around PHP, finds intricate dependencies interesting, and wants to take software development with AI to the next level.\n\nWhat you will work on\n\nPHP 8.x: This is our backend world, and you should know it well. We do not use any of the major frameworks; instead, we have developed most of our architecture ourselves. You will work with a system you can truly understand, right down to its foundations.\n\nMariaDB: Our database is large and demanding. If you enjoy thinking in data models, you will feel at home here.\n\nArchitecture & business logic: Our software does a lot. The exciting challenge is to keep developing it, integrate new features, and sustainably improve its architecture.\n\nAgentic development: We believe AI is fundamentally changing software development. We want to make full use of these opportunities, both to write code faster and to develop more intelligently. For example, we already use AI to generate our unit tests automatically.\n\nQuality: Every change goes through peer review, and our CI runs on Jenkins.\n\nWho we are looking for\n\nYou have a degree in computer science? Great.\n\nYou do not have a degree, but have spent years developing sophisticated software? Just as good.\n\nWe care less about what your diploma says and more about what you can do, how you think, and whether you want to keep growing.\n\nWhat matters to us:\n\nYou have strong experience with PHP and relational databases.\n\nYou understand individual functions as well as the bigger picture of a software system.\n\nYou enjoy getting to know existing systems and developing them sustainably.\n\nYou work independently, think ahead, and contribute your own ideas.\n\nYou are excited about AI-assisted, ideally agentic software development. Some initial experience is great; real curiosity is essential.\n\nYou can communicate with other people. It sounds obvious, but it is not always a given. ;-)\n\nWhat you can expect from us\n\nA company founded in 2017 that is far from finished developing its software.\n\nA backend development team that works hand in hand with our other development teams. Colleagues who support each other, discuss ideas, and find solutions together. Short decision paths, direct communication, and the opportunity to make a real difference.\n\nWe are based in Kiel and prefer working together at the office. We have heard of working from home, but we believe good collaboration thrives on direct exchange.\n\nIn return, you get flexible working hours, proper equipment, opportunities for further training, a fitness offering, and colleagues you can share a laugh with.\n\nWe take our work seriously. Ourselves? Not always.\n\nReady to get started with us?\n\nJust contact your contact person Tobias Guertler via email at [entfernt] - feel free to include a short resume. We will schedule a meeting to get to know you.\n\nApply now","responsibilities_text":null,"requirements_text":null,"status":"open","duplicate_of":null,"first_seen":"2026-11-12T16:39:45.498523+00:00","responsibilities_summary":null,"requirements_summary":null,"all_tools":["PHP","MariaDB","Jenkins"],"posting_language":"en","evidence":[],"years_experience_max":null,"mobility_evidence":[],"model_version":"rules-10","english_badge":"English required","company_id":null}
