Amsterdam Would you be interested in working as a Rust developer on an application for millions of users, where you have a significant impact on the architecture and technical developments? Keep reading! Who are we? At Reclamefolder.nl, we believe it''s possible to help people save on their daily expenses. Our app and website are used by 1.5 million Dutch people every month, but our ambition goes much further. In fact, we are in the middle of a transformation where the digital flyer is being revamped into a modern version. To make this happen, the platform needs a complete overhaul. Reclamefolder.nl has a start-up culture, with a team of 25 colleagues across IT, marketing, and sales. We are part of DPG Media but operate completely independently. This gives you a lot of influence on the business operations, while also providing plenty of expertise to further develop the platform. Job Description As a Rust developer at Reclamefolder.nl, you will help develop our brand-new greenfield platform. Together with the team, you will determine the technological direction and be part of various multidisciplinary projects within Reclamefolder.nl. Your work will primarily focus on backend development in Rust, which forms the core of our website and apps. The current platform is being gradually migrated to the greenfield platform and phased out. Therefore, you will also play a role in maintaining the current platform and ensuring a smooth transition. Your time is roughly divided as follows: 70% development and technical challenges on our greenfield platform, working in multidisciplinary teams; 20% maintenance and development of our current platform; 10% organizational meetings. In short, a role where you will work with the latest technologies and make a significant contribution to the future of promotional communication. A typical workday (on-site) at Reclamefolder.nl You start your day with a good cup of coffee or fresh tea in our brand-new building, Mediavaert. After catching up with colleagues, you dive into the daily stand-up to share the challenges and developments from yesterday and today. You have a clear view of your tasks through weekly tactical meetings of your projects, which you can work on. In between, you have a meeting with your developer colleagues to discuss a technological challenge or decision that needs to be made. You enjoy a delicious (or personal) lunch with your colleagues at the restaurant and take a quick walk around the building. You ensure that your colleague can move forward by reviewing their pull request. Then its time to dive into the code and contribute some quality to our greenfield project. You quickly switch gears to answer a question from a colleague about the current platform, and then back to work. At the end of the day, its time to relax and get ready for the next workday from the comfort of your home! We work in the office two days a week and make sure that most of our meetings are scheduled on those days. On the other days, you can work from home and have more focused time. Your skills and our tech stack To fill this Rust developer role, we expect you to have previously held a similar position where you gained (extended) experience with the technological challenges faced by an organization undergoing rapid development. For the development and maintenance of our current platform, we expect you to have knowledge of TypeScript and Postgres. Its a plus if you have experience with functional programming, Kubernetes, Terraform, and Google Cloud. We also work with Apollo GraphQL, which will gradually be phased out as our greenfield platform progresses. For our greenfield platform, we expect you to quickly familiarize yourself with new technologies and have experience with topics like architecture, infrastructure, quality control, automated testing, monitoring, continuous integration, and data storage and analysis. Its a plus if you already have experience with some of the technologies we use. We currently use Rust, Poem, OpenAPI, OpenSearch, Postgres (sqlx), Kubernetes, Pulumi, GitOps, and AWS. For the front-end, we use TypeScript, Vue (Nuxt), and Tailwind. Our native apps are built in Kotlin (Android) and Swift (iOS). The platform and the team are constantly evolving, and we are always open to improvements and new insights.
