What are you going to do?

Would you like to join a growing proposition “Pace” as Lead Developer and ensure the success of this new and innovative service? And would you like to work in an energetic and ambitious team that develops in collaboration with customers? Then read our vacancy quickly!

Nedap is a listed multinational company with a rich history in security. We are the technological leader in this industry and to stay at the forefront of innovation, a start-up called Pace has been established from that expertise. Based on the latest technologies, we provide a solution for large customers on a global scale. Every day, we rise to the challenge of making this new technology accessible to the people who work with it and make a real impact on their professional lives.

What will you do?

As Lead Developer, you will work with your team of developers to implement an online application used by large multinationals (with 10,000 to 60,000+ employees) to visually organise and manage access rights to workspaces. In short: ‘Who can enter where and when, and why?’ We develop our solution in close contact with our customers.

As Lead Developer, you are responsible for the technical content and direction of the team. You spend half of your time working on development and the other half as lead of the team, in which you take care of the technical direction of the team. In this role, you are an important link within the team and beyond. You guide technological developments on the basis of the strategic plan, but you also get room for your own initiatives to improve technology or processes. In addition, you represent your team to internal and external stakeholders: you regularly sit down with customers to discuss new functionalities and agree on specifications.

'We solve the dilemma between a safe workplace versus manageability and ‘need to know’ versus accessibility with modern techniques. We are unique in this and modern society increasingly demands solutions to this dilemma. Infrastructure will have to handle large volumes of requests and be designed to be resilient.'
