As a DevOps Engineer, you work together with other Devops Engineers, front-end and back-end developers and testers. Clear communication is essential in our collaboration! The team consists of a mix of personalities, knowledge and skills. We also work dynamically, which ensures little delay in terms of choices and processes. Besides your own team, you have a lot of contact with another team within Nedap that hosts the platform.

"There is an open and relaxed atmosphere within the team, everything can be discussed and there is always room and time to make improvements. The work is very dynamic, no day is the same and that's what makes it so much fun. In case of emergencies, people always jump in left and right where they can and the problem is really tackled as a team. Besides the daily work, there are also regular events, knowledge-sharing sessions and get-togethers." (Henk, DevOps engineer)
