This is a serious position so has a real salary attached to it. However the right person for the positions is someone who wants to work in esports rather than someone just looking for a paycheck.

If you have the skillsets we're looking for then shoot through an inquiry to us. Especially if you know MGT
I’m applying I for sure have enough experience, and I’ve been looking to move to Netherlands for a while. Hopefully I get it, my only question is would I report to R1CH or some other dude? I hope it's R1CH, I feel like my experience will grow even more under him.

Ahh I'm tempted. But I just got a job as in intern here in dev ops, so maybe after my year is up and if you guys are still hiring, I will be more than interested to get into the esports business

You don't need Dutch language at work?
We speak English at the office, so Dutch is not a requirement from our end. Learning some might make your stay nicer whenever you leave the office though.

R1CH is who hides behind the CTO tag. so yeah, webdevs will work under him.
PHP got a whole lot better over the past few years. I wouldn't mind going back to it.
PHP is (or can be) awesome now, in my opinion (a PHP developer's opinion). We are long past the PHP4 days now, but it took a while.
That is true, although I still facepalm every now and then (especially the naming of string functions makes me cry sometimes ^^)
Wasn't it the naming of array functions that caused the most confusion? I swear that even after 3 years of doing big projects in PHP I had to look up the order of arguments for them every single time.
Anyway, I'm quite amazed how far PHP has gone in a span of just 2 years. Also, Symfony is now a beast of a framework and its offshoots like Silex and API Platform are a thing to behold too.

Well, have a little quiz: is it strpos or str_pos strpad or str_pad strrepeat or str_repeat strlen or str_len strstr or str_str strreplace or str_replace strsplit or str_split strcasecomp or str_casecomp strshuffle or str_shuffle + Show Spoiler [Solutions] +

Would have been a dream job for me if my career went the way I thought 2 years ago. Now my coding skills have probably degraded to the point of uselessness.
I envy the lucky candidate to fill the position. I think living in the Netherlands would be a great experience.
Whoever gets the job. Please put a fucking SSL certificate on this website.

State your salary requirements in your cover/resume letter.
A part of a successful application process, if you are a good fit for TL.Net, is to base your salary on what what salary range you got from your previous working experinces. If you send in a resume where your previous salary range is either too high or too low it means you are either overqualified or underqualified for the job.

I have plenty of not nice things to say about Afreeca's web streaming service
More generally though, I think the reason that Japanese and Korean websites are generally so bad because from what I can tell they found a formula for making websites in 2005 and really stuck with it. Including the pay of the "web admins" that make them

This is great advice. With that said the salary we can offer will depend on the experience of the applicant so we haven't disclosed a number.

Only if you shoehorn in that casecomp is short for comparison and not compare... and if you retcon in a reason for PHP having atrocious function names.
OT: great opportunity. Passion makes me think of applying, but I am probably both overqualified and underqualified at the same time, so... good luck to the applicants!

Symfony is only slow when you don't know what you're doing. In the past we've implemented big ass systems in Symfony3 that could handle a lot of traffic with 30-50ms response times (and that was before PHP 7 hit the streets, and that thing is way way faster).
Don't ever look at random benchmarks on the interwebs that try and do some simple "Hello World" and compare that. Full stack frameworks do bring in some overhead but they make up for it in other ways. Also, for really good performance you have to properly set up caching strategies for both front- and back-end (most people forget to enable caching for DB schema and then you rebuild it with every request which is super slow when your entity count gets larger).
I was working with a client in the past that was using Symfony, and their dev team was an actual dev team hired hourly through Symfony. The response time on that site was horrendous, any page was taking longer than four seconds to load. So my opinion is based off that one off time working within the Symfony realm. I haven't touched it since, so I'm bias on that part. I've heard they've updated, but I just never gave it that second look.
I'll definitely take a look at it now. Just by re-visiting my old clients website, I can see that performance has been updated.
From my experience, a 4s loading time is more likely related to a bad sql query (typically the "OR" keyword slowing down everything in a large database) / some random crap in the code like a curl or sthg than symfony being slow.

Website feedback, bottom left. They reply to that quite fast usually when it's technical.
