About Aqqo
Aqqo is the market leader in reservation and management software for (municipal) sports facilities, meeting venues, and community properties. We help our clients plan, automate, and handle the financial aspects of bookings. Simplicity, a good user experience, and visual clarity are essential. Your work will have a direct impact on how managers organize their facilities on a daily basis.
About the role
At Aqqo, you’ll help build and scale a SaaS platform used by thousands of users every day. As a Backend Software Engineer, you’ll be part of our Product team and work closely with frontend developers, DevOps engineers, and our Product Owner.
You’ll have real influence on technical decisions and architecture, with the space to prioritize quality over speed. This isn’t a rigid role—you’ll get the trust and freedom to shape your work in a way that suits you, while collaborating closely with your team.
We work from our brand-new offices in Deurningen or Utrecht, and the atmosphere is professional yet informal. We review each other’s code, share knowledge, and improve together.
What will you do
- Build and maintain backend functionality in PHP using Laravel
- Design and improve RESTful APIs for both internal and external integrations
- Contribute to architectural discussions and help shape technical standards
- Monitor and improve code quality, performance, and platform stability
- Use AI-assisted coding tools where they add value (e.g. for reviews and refactoring)
- Work agile, take part in code reviews, and support stable and efficient releases
- Depending on your experience, take ownership of features, decisions, and mentoring
About you
You’re someone who takes ownership and pride in what you build. You prefer sustainable solutions over quick fixes, and you’re eager to contribute to a product that matters.
You:
- Have experience or strong interest in backend development
- Write clean, maintainable code and value long-term quality
- Think critically, ask questions, and suggest improvements
- Communicate clearly with both tech and non-tech colleagues
- Thrive in a product-driven SaaS environment
- Are open to learning new tools and methods, including AI-supported development
