At Mito Digital, we create clever digital solutions—from apps to websites—for lottery and aviation brands around the world. Now, our 30+ strong Lottery & Betting team is looking for its next Backend Developer.
We’re not saying we can guarantee a jackpot, but after 10+ years in the lottery game, we can offer a golden ticket to exciting projects—like developing new lottery games and digital scratch cards, plus keeping things running smoothly behind the scenes.
This is a brand new position, and we’re looking for a mid-level PHP Developer to join us. You’ll be working with our own codebase (yep, a bit old, but we keep things tidy) and integrating with our backend partner’s systems via API.
And yes, we use PHP—but we’ve got teammates dabbling in Rust and Go too. So if you’re curious about other tech, this is a good place to be.
- Developing and maintaining large-scale web applications and APIs
- Adding new features (hello, shiny new lottery games!)
- Squashing bugs and solving backend mysteries
- Refactoring old code (we like to keep things clean)
- Reviewing code and contributing to planning sessions
- Deploying and troubleshooting on servers (if you’re into DevOps)
What we’re after:
- Strong in OO PHP (preferably 8.x)
- Experience with an MVC framework (Yii 2, Laravel, Symfony, Zend—you name it)
- Confident with MySQL (and bonus points for NoSQL know-how)
- Comfortable using Git (we are!)
- Hungarian and English fluency (enough to chat with the team and tackle docs)
- Familiarity with design patterns
You’ll make us extra happy if you...
- Know automated testing frameworks
- Follow SOLID principles
- Have hands-on experience with Couchbase, Redis, Memcached (or similar)
- Can handle Linux beyond user-level
- Are into CI/CD pipelines and tools like Ansible
- Have used Jira (or similar ticketing tools)
- Exciting Challenges & Impactful Work: Work on global projects that make a real difference, from travel bookings to creative advertising.
- Seamless Onboarding & Support: A well-structured onboarding process and a dedicated buddy to help you settle in.
- Hybrid Work & Comfortable Office: Work from home when needed, but enjoy a beautiful downtown Budapest office with MacBooks, great coffee, fresh fruit, and more.
- Continuous Learning & Growth: Access to conferences, coaching, competitions, and opportunities to share your expertise. A native English coach is available for professional communication support.
- Extra Days Off for Loyalty: Our Level Up system rewards your years with us by giving you additional paid leave.
- Vibrant Community & Fun Culture: Join a workplace where work is serious, but fun is essential—hackathons, office parties, family events, and dog-friendly spaces.
- Flexible Benefits & Health Package: Personal budget for sports, education or commuting plus annual access to routine and preventive screenings across various medical fields.
- Our Core Values
- Solution-oriented mindset
- Continuous professional development
- Trust, respect, and a healthy dose of humor
