• Experience with CI/CD and automated deployments (GitLab is a plus)
• Strong English or Dutch communication skills and comfortable sharing your opinion in technical discussions

Our team works with a modern, fully Serverless AWS environment using Node.js and TypeScript. This is a role for someone who enjoys ownership and wants to have a direct impact on both the product and our underlying platform.
