Working as a developer at WebinarGeek

The inspiring work environment gets the best out of our coworkers. We train just as often with our PT as we are enjoying fries every Friday.

Software should never be a barrier for someone to start hosting webinars. And that is why the software is so important to us. We spend as much time as we need to make sure that the things we build are good, they solve real problems, they make the product better and help us to reach new markets. Quality is embedded into every process, and it starts with people. We want people on our team who live this philosophy and who write code that works and is maintainable in every possible aspect. And as important, we want people who create a nice work atmosphere, having a critical eye on the work, but always encouraging their teammates.

We work with Ruby on Rails as our core framework, we always use one of the most recent versions.

As for the front-end, we work with Typescript, React, Tailwind, Styled components and do component testing with Jest. We also maintain a legacy front-end in Rails, which contains jQuery and Scss.

Other tools, protocols or languages that make our stack are MySQL, Redis, websockets and Git. We also have tools written in or built upon Gatsby, Java, PHP, WebRTC, AWS Lambda, Phoenix and Elixir.

Who you are

• Bachelor's degree
• At least 2 years of experience with HTML, CSS & Javascript (ideally with a framework like React or Vue)
• Experience with Typescript, Tailwind or Jest would be a plus
• Strong sense of responsibility
• Dutch or English speakers
• You want to be given a problem or challenge, you will be thinking about the specifications
• You are a team player
• You preach this aspect of Scrum: iteratively improve products based on user input & experience
• You love to work with Javascript and love to see your work result in nicely structured HTML & CSS.
• Quality over quantity: make sure the foundation of the software is solid. Bugs over features.
• Interested in working with innovative technologies such as WebRTC
• Based in the Netherlands
