Your role

As a Software Engineer, you will work on the development and improvement of the company's core software platform.

You have:

• Professional experience with C++
• A relevant technical or university degree
• A structured and analytical approach to problem-solving
• The ability to work independently as well as part of a team
• Good communication skills in English
• A willingness to learn and develop your technical skills

• Opportunities for training and professional development
• Company laptop and phone
• Flexible working arrangements and the possibility to work from home
• A small, informal and international team
• A high level of autonomy and responsibility
• The opportunity to work on technically challenging software used by international customers
