  • You will research, evaluate and implement search techniques and technologies that serve the product needs.
  • You will become an expert in the search topic and educate others in the organization.
  • You will be a key player in elevating the search experience in Frontify.

Your story

  • You can work remotely from anywhere in Switzerland or on-site in our St. Gallen office – or even mix it up during the week! Choose where to work from that works best for you.
  • You’re an expert in PHP and have experience with technologies such as Elasticsearch, OpenSearch, GraphQL, REST, MySQL & Docker.
  • You're skilled in architecting/designing, developing, and maintaining large software solutions.
  • You're proficient in writing Unit Tests and are familiar with test-driven development (TDD) and domain-driven design (DDD).
  • You can work in a dynamic environment and collaborate with people of different backgrounds from different product teams.
  • You hold strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
  • You have excellent communication and teamwork abilities.
  • You speak English fluently.
