You have talent. Ready to make impact. We know. We also know that making impact starts with that first contact between like-minded people who have the same drive to shape their future. We see you, with your skills, personality and dreams. Now let’s take it to even greater heights by means of one of our talent programs for master’s and PhD graduates.

We are Mploy Associates, a talent-focused consultancy firm ready to make not only our clients’ teams successful but also you. Your talent, our focus.

We believe that investing in talent through proven methods always pays out. Today we are proud to say that we are an international-driven company with more than 100 people and many top-tier clients who share the same vision.

How do you fit into this vision?

You will work as a Back-End Software Engineer for one of our clients with a special focus on your own development through one of our Talent Programs.

Your activities as a Back-End Software Engineer

Developing data pipelines and warehouses, configuring application environments and improving existing time‑critical processes with a focus on continuous integration (CI) and continuous delivery (CD) are at the core of this position. Your day‑to‑day responsibilities include:

• Aligning with business analysts for backlog refinements;
• Investigation of current implementations and solutions and improving these to new standards;
• Designing, developing and testing innovative solutions in a variety of coding languages;
• Implementation of future‑proof security standards;
• Improving and expanding CD/CI pipelines by enhancing automated testing methods.

On average you work 36 hours a week on a client project and you spend 4 hours a week on your own personal, professional and technical development in one of our Talent Programs.

What do we offer?

We offer the opportunity to become an expert in software engineering, in an environment where we train you to excel as a high‑end professional. In addition, good working conditions are equally as important to us.

By offering free lunch at the office and regular fun team activities like escape rooms and fun dinners, we ensure a connected and social workplace. Also important; we will provide you with a public transport card and/or (electric) bike. All on us of course. Furthermore:

Furthermore, you are energized by stakeholder management and are well adept at gathering reliable information.
