- Familiarity with tools like Maven or Gradle, and version control with Git
- Understanding of CI/CD (Jenkins, GitLab or Azure DevOps)
- A technical degree (HBO or equivalent) and strong communication skills
- Bonus if you know your way around Kotlin, GraphQL, or old-school SOAP
Youre probably someone who:
- Enjoys a mix of tech and teamwork
- Has a consultant mindset and is happy seeing different companies from the inside
- Understands that perfect code is great, but practical solutions matter more
- Values growth, mentorship and a healthy work-life balance
Whats in it for you:
- A salary between 67,000 and 80,000
- A permanent contract from day one
- 25 vacation days
- A personal training budget of 3,000 per year
- Your choice of MacBook or Windows laptop
- Mobility options like travel allowance, lease car, e-bike or public transport card
- Fun team outings and social events throughout the year
- A clear path to grow toward roles like Tech Lead, Architect, or even CTO
- Long-term potential to become a partner or start a business unit within the group
The process:
No stiff interviews. Just real conversations with real engineers about the work, the tools, and what drives you. If theres a mutual click, theyll explore who you are beyond the tech through an assessment. From there, its all about finding a fit that works for both sides.
