FIXFORM · MODERN SAAS PLATFORMMedior / Senior AI Developer (Laravel/PHP)
Ghent Area, Belgium | Full-time | AI & Engineering
The Mission
At Fixform, we've already conquered the chaos of facility management with our SaaS platform. Now we are entering our next evolution.
We're looking for a Medior / Senior AI Developer who is, first and foremost, a strong product engineer — someone who lives in PHP/Laravel and Vue, and who is genuinely excited about applying AI agents to real problems. Your job is to help transform Fixform from a reactive task-management tool into a proactive, agentic ecosystem: deploying agents that diagnose issues, track compliance, interact with tenants, and coordinate service providers autonomously — built on top of a platform you'll help refactor and scale.
How You Will Work
Solid Platform Engineering Refactor, extend, and harden our mature PHP/Laravel + Vue platform so it can support high-concurrency, agent-driven workflows. This is real engineering on a real production codebase — not greenfield toys.
Agentic Architecture Design and deploy parallel AI agents that handle complex reasoning for compliance, reporting, and conversation workflows.
Next-Gen AI Workflows Use Claude Code, Cursor, and Gemini to move fast — spending your energy on architecture and the deeper, harder problems rather than boilerplate.
Product & Problem Solving Bridge senior engineering with a strong product mindset to turn complex facility challenges into autonomous, reliable solutions.
What's In It For You?
Build the AI Capability Be the founding engineer of Fixform's dedicated AI department, owning the design and delivery of our agentic capabilities within a clear technical vision.
High-Impact Tech Build software with tangible physical impact — improving hospitals, care centers, social housing, and public sports facilities.
Modern Tooling & Culture of Trust Enjoy full access to cutting-edge AI models and IDEs, and thrive in an environment that empowers you to work smart.

Requirements
Must-Have Skills
Strong back-end expertise in PHP (Laravel) — able to refactor and extend a mature production codebase, not just build greenfield. Solid JavaScript / TypeScript, with Vue experience for front-end work. Practical experience building LLM-powered features and RAG architectures, including with Claude / Claude Code. Solid grasp of unit testing, OOP, API design, and relational databases. Proficient with a cloud platform (AWS or GCP). Fluent in English.
Nice to Have
Experience with a managed LLM platform such as AWS Bedrock. Python for AI/data workflows. Master's in Engineering, CS, or equivalent practical experience. Dutch fluency is a distinct plus. Affinity for PropTech, Facility Tech, or IoT.
Welcome! I'm thrilled to help you prepare for this role. Fixform is doing some incredibly modern work in Ghent, moving facility management from reactive ticketing to proactive, built on a robust Laravel and Vue foundation.
Before we dive into the technical architecture, let's make sure we tailor this session perfectly to your background and goals.
Could you share your current experience level with PHP/Laravel and building AI features, and let me know if you are preparing for a specific interview at Fixform?
i have mid level expr with php ecpireneced with node js nest and js frameworks in general i have worked with laravel before but i am not expert i have mid level expirence in ai too and i am prepareing for a second round if intervews with the CTO that i already talked too in the first round and the CEO
It is great to hear from you! Since you already have experience with JavaScript frameworks like Node.js and Nest.js, you will find that the architectural patterns of AI development—such as state preservation, asynchronous processing, and tool execution—are highly transferable. The challenge is implementing them beautifully within PHP's shared-nothing, single-request lifestyle, which is exactly what the CTO and CEO will want to discuss.
To make sure we maximize your preparation time for this second-round interview, let's start with your preference on how to begin.
Jump directly into technical interview questions from the CTO and CEO
Let's jump right into the fire. During your interview with the CTO, they're going to want to see how you think about architecture—specifically, how you design that are reliable, testable, and play nicely with Laravel's request-response lifecycle.
The CTO's System Design Challenge
Imagine the CTO hands you this scenario: "We want to build an autonomous compliance agent. When a new facility health-and-safety regulation document is uploaded, this agent must parse the document, compare it against our existing facility database, identify missing compliance checks, and automatically dispatch maintenance tasks to contractors if violations are found."
To show the CTO you understand the unique constraints of PHP, how would you design this agent's execution flow? Specifically, where does this agent run so it doesn't block the web request, and how do you give it the ability to safely query your database and dispatch tasks?
