Senior PHP Fullstack Developer (m/w/d)

Raise the bar. We’re looking for a high-performing Senior Full Stack Engineer to join our team and help us build the future of Matomo — the world’s leading open-source web analytics platform that empowers users with full data ownership and built-in privacy.

This is more than a coding role — it’s an opportunity to tackle complex challenges at scale, work with a talented and driven team, and help shape how we do engineering as we grow. Design, develop, and maintain robust, secure, and performant software at scale.

• Navigate and contribute to a mature, complex codebase — and leave it better than you found it.
• Work hand-in-hand with product managers and designers to deliver value that delights users.
• Help evolve how we work — improving our engineering practices, processes, and standards.
• Take initiative in shaping solutions, identifying risks early, and driving delivery forward.
• As our company grows, you’ll help define what great engineering looks like at Matomo.

As the leading open-source web analytics platform, Matomo powers over 1 million websites and apps in 190+ countries, offering organisations the insights they need while maintaining full data ownership and user trust. In Germany, Matomo is particularly popular with public institutions, universities, and companies that take GDPR compliance seriously.

Every month, our platform processes billions of data points — transforming complex information into intuitive, powerful reports that delight users. Matomo is available in 50+ languages and supported by a global, fully remote community with strong hubs in New Zealand, Germany and France. Ethical analytics built around GDPR and user trust.

• Clear Engineering Career Development Framework supporting skill progression and leadership growth.

• You’re highly competent in PHP and JavaScript , and not afraid of diving deep into a large legacy codebase.
• You’re sure-footed in a remote environment, and able to build effective working relationships with people on the other side of the world.

Bonus points for:

• Contributions to community projects or mentoring others
• Comfort with Linux CLI, databases (MySQL), and Git/GitHub workflows
