The Senior PHP Developer with Go opportunities

We’re a fast-growing software company offering an innovative API-based SaaS e-commerce platform. We started by empowering small and mid-size fashion & lifestyle brands, and as we’ve scaled, so have our clients. Today, we’re proud to partner with major enterprise brands, helping them make their mark globally.

Our platform is designed to be the best in the world and we’re building a team that shares the same ambition. Though we’re a young company, we’ve already captured widespread attention and work with some of the strongest brands in the Nordics, along with clients across Europe, North America and Asia. As we continue to grow, we have ambitious plans to expand our team and take on new challenges. And we’re not stopping there—this is just the beginning, with even more exciting opportunities and growth on the horizon. There’s never been a better time to join us on this journey.

This role is based in Wrocław, Poland, and we encourage our teams to connect in person at our city-center office. We value the time spent collaborating face-to-face— whether it’s brainstorming together or simply enjoying a cup of coffee.

At Centra, we’re looking for someone who’s not only highly skilled but also eager to learn and solve challenges together as a team. We work with passion, pushing boundaries, and we owe our success to the ambitious and talented people we hire. As we continue to grow, we are seeking more individuals who share the same mindset.

We are now looking for a world-class developer to our engineering team, who will be a key player in propelling Centra into the global arena of e-commerce.

To continue our quest for greatness, we need to find professional, passionate, and talented developers who can work fast and think outside the box – while always keeping an eye out for the details. This years goals include improving our multi-tenant architecture and creating a brand new GraphQL API.
