Job Overview:
We are looking for Software Engineers to join a development team based hybrid, in the Netherlands responsible for creating and delivering new additions to our product suite. As a Software Engineer, you'll be an integral part of a focused team of 3-5 software engineers together with QA, Devops and UX specialists. Software teams at Harver independently own domain services within our product-suite and are responsible for their development, maintenance, releases and integration.
If you’re passionate about working in a dynamic, fast-growing company — with cutting edge technology, smart colleagues, and opportunities for development — come grow with us!
In this role you get to:
- Create, deploy and manage a SaaS software used by millions of people globally.
- Practice all facets of good software development: user experience, performance, scalability, security, maintainability etc. Engage in the process of making software.
- You will be inspired by methodologies such as Lean Development and Extreme Programming.
- You'll work with our engineering principles: Simple Design. Build up system complexity through frequent simple steps. Simplicity before generality. Behavior Driven Development. The process of developing software collaboratively driven by specification. Continuous Delivery.
- Creating a momentum of delivery through incremental feedback cycles and updates. Non-solo programming. Working collaboratively and as a true team. Understanding Production. Understanding how your software works in the real-world in terms of both technical operation and user experience.
- These five principles are derived from Extreme Programming; we also eschew Scrum in favor of more Kanban and Lean styles of working. You should ideally have some experience with these concepts or be willing to learn and adapt them.
We’re looking for people who have:
- Working experience as a software developer
- Comfort commuting to the office minimum 2 times a week, in Amsterdam, Netherlands
- Familiarity with our technical stack. You should consider yourself a "full-stack" engineer, but bias toward frontend or backend is ok.
- BS/MS in computer science or equivalent work experience
- Experience within software development (BDD & TDD, CI/CD, pair programming), preferably in a SaaS environment
- Excellent communication skills (written & verbal) While familiarity with our core technology stack (Node, React, Typescript, Postgres, Mongo, AWS) is a bonus, we're looking for not just great coders, but great software engineers who are focused on delivering great products and inspiring those around them to do so too.
- The points in this post about responsibilities, engineering practices and culture should resonate with you and excite you. The desire to work in a collaborative and productive environment, are a continual learner and stay up to date with technology
- Been disillusioned by sprints and story points and are seeking liberation; another way!
Pssst… you don’t have to check all the boxes to apply!
