What you do as full-stack engineer

1. Develop clean, efficient, and scalable code using React, Next.js, Angular, Kotlin, Java, and Spring.
2. Balance expertise: Combined development using both your front-end experience and back-end experience.
3. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand needs and translate them into robust technical solutions.
4. Think of ways to make team solutions scalable and future-proof.
5. Own team solutions end-to-end: you build it, you run it, you love it.
6. Drive innovation by experimenting, iterating, and refining your work based on feedback and data.

You are a (very!) welcome member of the team. Technical challenges aside, perks include end-to-end (team) ownership, lots of autonomy and an inspiring culture. You build it – you run it – you love it is our mantra, and we live it every day.

3 reasons why this is (not) for you

• Soloist You let colleagues find their own solutions
• You’re only into the ‘how’ and ‘what’ You never ask ‘why?’ Why would you?
• Freedom averse Because you want to be taken by the hand; autonomy & ownership are not your thing

• You know and want to learn your stuff You have – at least – 5 years of hands-on experience as Full-stack engineer, with strong front-end expertise. Next to this, you like to do and/or learn more about backend engineering. Experience with React, Next.js and Java (experience with Angular, Kotlin, and Spring is a plus). Knowledge of cloud platforms (Kubernetes and GCP experience is a bonus).
• Proactive. Pragmatic. Iterative. Those need to be some of your main qualities because you combine a genuine passion for coding with a proactive collaborative attitude. You are not afraid to quickly implement solutions and iterate on the learnings gained from both usage data and user feedback.
• Communicative. Brave. Open minded. Because you rise to the (technical) challenges – and solve these – with and within this team through collaboration, honest and direct discussions. We love somebody who brings their own ideas to spark conversations – and help the team understand the thinking process behind these ideas. Next to this it would be a plus if you have experience in a Product-led company.
