Job Description

You are passionate about agile work and would like to create every day differently? Then you are exactly right with us! We are auxmoney - one of the most successful Fintech companies in Germany and the largest credit marketplace in Continental Europe. Private and institutional investors invest directly in pre-approved loans via auxmoney.

As a company, we combine the start-up mentality with the security of a successful Grown-Up. Together we work at our locations in Düsseldorf, Budapest, Dublin and Málaga.

Thanks to flat hierarchies and a diversity of creative and development opportunities, you can achieve excellent results on your own responsibility and work on exciting projects. You can simplify processes and products and thus actively shape auxmoney as a company in a sustainable manner.
Regardless of whether you are an intern or a manager: everyone makes a valuable contribution at auxmoney.

You are also welcome to visit us on our social media channels to gain a better impression of us.


As a PHP developer at auxmoney, you will be part of one of our cross-functional teams that work according to the principles of Scrum or Kanban. Each team operates independently and focuses on a specific topic such as our application process, the integration of partner interfaces, the loan approval process or the cash flows from investors and borrowers. You will find a variety of roles in the teams, including backend and frontend developers, software testers and product owners.

Although each team operates autonomously, professional exchange between the teams is very important to us and is actively encouraged. Our developers work in pairs or as a mob to ensure knowledge transfer. We develop our logic in independent domain services, which are deployed quickly and easily in Kubernetes clusters using our specially developed CI/CD structures. Supported by our DevOps team, the teams can manage the entire software lifecycle from build, deploy and run.

The continuous development of our employees is particularly important to us. That's why among other things we offer an OpenSpace day every 4 weeks, where our team members can explore new things independently of their current tasks.

What you can expect:

  • Participation in the sustainable development of our products in cooperation with the cross-functional Scrum team
  • Development of complex business systems in PHP8 using the Symfony framework
  • Responsibility for automated testing with PHPUnit or Cypress
  • Active collaboration in the development of a service-oriented architecture
  • Development of a distributed domain service application based on Kafka event-based communication
  • Maximum flexibility - you can work from our modern headquarters or nationwide from wherever works best for you


  • Ability to work in a team and initiative to contribute innovative ideas
  • Practical experience in the backend area
  • Initial knowledge of PHP, Symfony and MySQL databases
  • Experience with test environments such as PHPUnit or Cypress as well as knowledge in the use of version control systems (preferably Git)
  • Motivation, ability to work in a team and willingness to learn are essential
  • Experience with agile development methods, especially Scrum, is desired
  • Good to very good written and spoken English skills are required, good German skills are desired


  • Family-friendly and flexible working hours and generous home office regulations, so that you can shape your environment according to your personal needs
  • Ergonomic workstations for your days in the office
  • Short decision-making processes so that you can work independently at all times
  • Plenty of room for creativity and development, including an annual development budget, so that we can all grow together.
  • Fun should not be missing either. We offer numerous events across all divisions!
  • Train ticket or parking space? We subsidize your choice of mobility
  • You prefer to get to work by bike? Then use our company-owned bicycle cellar to safely store your bike there.
  • Do you like to exercise? With us you can take part in free sports activities or simply sign up for a discounted membership at Fitness First or Urban Sports Club.
  • We also think about your future. We offer subsidies for the company pension scheme.
  • Other offers to suit your individual lifestyle (corporate benefits program, offers for parents, travel enthusiasts...)

For us as an employer, equal opportunities and diversity are especially important. Therefore, we welcome applications from mothers, fathers, people with disabilities and people from the LGBTQIA+ community. Please feel free to let us know if, for example, you would like us to use a gender-neutral pronoun, if you need barrier-free access to our office, or if you would like us to allow more time for the application process.
