Performance Engineer (PHP / Symfony / Kubernetes)
Your role within our powerhouse
As a Performance Engineer, you work right between development and infrastructure. You tackle performance problems at the source; in code, architecture and runtime behaviour. You do not just optimise, you determine how the system behaves under load.
You work on applications in PHP/Symfony on FrankenPHP and understand what happens under the bonnet. You use profiling and monitoring (including Grafana) to find and resolve bottlenecks. No assumptions, but measuring, analysing and improving with precision.
Our stack runs in Kubernetes with full Infrastructure as Code. You move through both the application layer and the infrastructure and understand how choices in one layer directly affect the other.
You work on a system where milliseconds matter and where inefficiency becomes visible immediately. Performance is not an afterthought optimisation, but part of the design.
You liaise directly with developers and DevOps engineers and tackle problems end-to-end. From query optimisation to resource tuning and from code path to container configuration.
We work hybrid from Bussum or Enschede, but the team operates largely asynchronously. That means you work independently, take responsibility and do not depend on constant alignment.
What we expect
You have strong experience with PHP and Symfony and understand how applications behave under load. You know how FrankenPHP works or pick it up quickly. Go is no foreign language to you.
You analyse performance problems based on data. You use profiling tools and monitoring (such as Grafana) to find and resolve bottlenecks.
You move comfortably in Kubernetes and understand how infrastructure choices impact performance and stability. Infrastructure as Code is the standard for you.
You do not accept systems that perform "well enough". You keep optimising until it is right. You make deliberate choices and can substantiate them.
You spot inefficiencies in code, queries and architecture and address them structurally. No symptom management, but root-cause improvement.
You think in systems, not in isolated metrics. You understand how components influence each other and where the real bottlenecks arise.
You communicate directly and substantively with developers and DevOps engineers and make sure improvements are actually implemented.
Bonus points for
Experience with PostgreSQL, RabbitMQ and Redis clusters.
Knowledge of high-performance architectures and scalable workflows.
What we offer
At Digital Claim Solutions (DCSolutions), you work on a product where engineering matters and where your choices have visible impact. No layers of management, no endless decision-making. You sit close to the problem and the solution.
We offer a salary between €4,750 and €6,750 gross per month based on 40 hours, depending on experience and level. In addition, we offer 27 days of holiday and a three-pillar pension scheme through Brand New Day.
Every week you get a ‘level-up’ day to work on your own development, explore new techniques or solve existing problems better.
You work from Bussum or Enschede, with the option of working largely remotely. Our way of working is substantive, direct and focused on quality, not on process for process's sake.
