Your employer: Thought leader in digital disruption
Your employer is a driving force behind innovation for leading national and international organizations. This is where products are built for companies that understand that automation and digitalization are essential to staying ahead in their industries. As a result, this organization is trusted with some of the most critical and forward-thinking software challenges. From healthcare and e-commerce to fintech and disruptive scale-ups preparing for their next growth phase. The track record of cutting-edge software solutions here is truly impressive.
For decades, this organization has been a thought leader in modern software engineering. From introducing Scrum to the Netherlands, to pioneering functional programming, and playing a key role in today’s Kotlin ecosystem, this company has consistently been ahead of the curve. One of the product organizations originating here was even acquired for hundreds of millions of euros. It’s no surprise that many of the industry’s leading engineers work here. You’ll also find a full-fledged academy where engineers from around the world are trained in agile, cloud, software engineering, and technical leadership. On top of that, the company hosts its own internationally recognized conferences and meetups. This may sound impressive and it is, but above all, it’s the result of years of dedication to quality and craftsmanship.
You’ll join an entrepreneurial and inspiring engineering culture, reflected in monthly meetups during working hours, a mandatory €5,000 training budget, an annual in-house conference, multiple podcasts, and a strong internal academy that supports continuous learning.
Your role: Senior Kotlin Developer Amsterdam
As a Senior Kotlin Developer, you’ll work on one of many high-impact solutions. In fact, it’s better described as product development: you and your team are fully end-to-end responsible for delivering cutting-edge solutions.
You’ll build software that only a small number of engineers ever get to work on software with significant impact on both the business and end users. Together with your team, you take technical ownership and play a decisive role in technology and architectural decisions.
You won’t be working on legacy systems or routine maintenance work. Everything you and your team build has real impact and requires technical leadership. Technologies include (but are not limited to) Kotlin, Spring Boot, Micronaut, Quarkus, Ktor, and event-driven, cloud-native architectures. The guiding principle here is “the right tool for the job”, giving you continuous opportunities to learn and apply new technologies.
This organization is the ideal place for engineers who want to express their entrepreneurial mindset within the support of a strong, content-driven company. There is plenty of room to grow as a specialist in the areas that interest you most. Many colleagues have gone on to become sought-after conference speakers, podcast hosts, or trainers within the academy.
