What are you going to do?

Would you like to work as a Backend Developer (Go) on a scalable SaaS platform used worldwide to manage physical access to buildings? Do you enjoy working in an ambitious team that collaborates closely with clients? Then read our job vacancy now!

As a Backend Developer (Go), you will work on our SaaS solution for managing access rights within large organisations. You will develop functionality that enables clients to manage complex structures: who has access where, when and under what conditions. You will work on a platform that runs in complex enterprise environments and scales with the size and dynamics of our clients.

Among other things, you’ll be working on our digital twin technology, in which buildings, spaces and access rights are digitally modelled. You’ll also help build the module for managing physical access passes. Together, these components form the core of the platform and help organisations gain control over dynamic and complex environments.

Together with colleagues from engineering, product and design, you will work on new functionalities, often in direct contact with customers. In this way, you ensure that what you build adds immediate value in practice.

Your responsibilities

• Developing scalable and reliable functionality in Go.
• Contributing to the technical direction and further development of the platform.
• Building for enterprise environments with up to 100,000 users per client.
• Writing maintainable, thoroughly tested code and conducting code reviews.
• Translating complex domain and system challenges into concrete solutions.
• Working on solutions for complex access and security issues.
• Supporting and mentoring less experienced developers.
• Identifying opportunities for improvement in architecture and the development process.

Your team

You will be working within Pace, a promising initiative from Nedap where we are building a modern platform with a start-up mindset, backed by the scale and stability of an international technology company. We develop in close collaboration with clients, so you can see first‑hand how your work is being put into practice.

You will be part of two closely collaborating engineering teams with plenty of scope for initiative and technical decision‑making. We take responsibility together, help each other progress and continuously improve both the platform and the way we work.
