Our platform is growing fast in terms of users, data, and functionality. As a Software Engineer, you are responsible for making sure our systems remain scalable, performant, and reliable. You aren’t just a coder here; you are a builder who takes ownership of key parts of the application and helps us make the right technical choices for the long term.

Working full-stack with Ruby on Rails, you’ll build new features that have a direct impact on thousands of users. You will collaborate closely with Product Managers and fellow engineers to translate complex requirements into clean, modular solutions. Whether it's optimizing data flows, maintaining external integrations, or rethinking parts of our architecture to handle future growth, you have the space to take initiative and see your ideas go into production. You'll report to Stefan Kroes (CTO), who values deep technical discussions and engineers who think along about the strategic direction of the product.

What you get

• Salary: €4,400 – €6,500 gross per month + a 10% salary bonus after 1 year.

• Hardware: A high-end MacBook, a large screen, and a modern sit-stand desk.

• Balance: 25 holiday days and the flexibility of hybrid working (Enschede/Zwolle).

• Growth: Personal development budget for training, certifications, and conferences.

• Culture: A fresh communal lunch every day and a nuchter, technically-driven environment.

• Perks: A cycle-to-work scheme and travel allowance.
