Our team members are driven, smart, and excel at what they do, constantly pushing the boundaries of innovation. As this market evolves, itʼs instrumental we lead the way.

Our Governance teams handle a critical and intricate domain that is fundamental to our customers' success. This involves ensuring robust entitlements, precise usage metering, secure user access, reliable identity management, enterprise tenant management and enabling customers to build low-code Mendix Pipelines. We empower customers with clear insight into their platform usage and the tools to act decisively.

We're looking for leaders who can shape our future. If you have a compelling vision for how the team and Mendix should evolve in this domain, we are eager to hear your ideas. While our teams operate with a high degree of autonomy, you'll be part of an encouraging and collaborative network. You'll need to work closely with other teams across Mendix, especially since many Governance topics inherently span multiple teams and services across the platform.

We are strong advocates of our own technology; therefore, a keen interest in the Mendix low-code stack is essential. We are a hybrid company and expect you to join the office one to two days a week. More is never a problem.

You’ll drive digital innovation for our customers by:

• Championing a steadfast focus on customer success, translating their needs into robust platform capabilities.

• Upholding an uncompromising standard of quality in everything you deliver.

Requirements:

• Significant professional software development experience with strong Java proficiency.

• Experience with Python and/or Tekton is a strong plus.

• Experience with Cloud providers like AWS and solid understanding of Kubernetes/Docker, or an eagerness to learn and master these technologies.

• A dedication to working with the Mendix low-code application development suite, focusing the majority of your time to this domain.

• A proven track record of designing and building reliable, maintainable, and scalable solutions.

• A strong 'you build it, you run it' demeanor, taking full responsibility for your code from development to production.

• The ability to lead by technical example, mentoring peers and influencing architectural decisions.

• A proactive approach to navigating ambiguity and accepting complex challenges, balancing innovation with pragmatic delivery.

• The discernment to select the optimal tools and languages for the problem at hand. Our stack includes Java, Python, Tekton and GO.

• Currently based in Rotterdam, NL and able to work a hybrid schedule, 2 days in office per week.

As a person you are:

• Approachable and open-minded, encouraging positive team dynamics.

• Driven by a desire for mastery and continuous improvement in your craft.

• Proactive and take full ownership of your responsibilities.

• A critical thinker with a creative, solution-oriented approach.
