Software Developer PHP / Vue.js

Fortes QuoTec GmbH is a medium-sized software company based in Ratingen, in the Düsseldorf area. We develop and sell our own business management software for the communications industry, from agencies to media companies. With us, you work on a product used daily by thousands of users, and you see directly what your code achieves. Our company culture has been awarded the “Hier ausgezeichnet Arbeiten” (An Outstanding Place to Work) certificate every year since 2020.

As part of the international Fortes Group, you get the best of both worlds: the short lines of a medium-sized team, combined with a network of more than 50 developers across the Netherlands, Germany, Denmark and Slovakia. With plenty of room for knowledge sharing, shared engineering standards and personal growth.

• You design new features together with the team and contribute your own ideas on architecture and implementation.
