  • kan je jouw ervaring gebruiken om voor aanzienlijke delen van de stack door code te schrijven, geautomatiseerde tests te schrijven en te implementeren in test- en productieomgevingen. Alsof dit je nog niet genoeg variatie biedt, kun je ook betrokken zijn bij een aantal technische analyses.

Je hebt sterke interesse in cloud-gebaseerde oplossingen en moderne DevOps technieken.

Je bent pragmatisch: je werkt doelgericht en weet van aanpakken. Je hebt eerder gewerkt in een omgeving waar best practices zoals CI/CD, unit testing een automated QA testing in gebruik waren. Je werkt graag met een roadmap en releases omdat die het bewijs zijn van hoe goed je bezig bent. Je doet alles wat je kan en nodig is om goed werk te leveren.

Je bent een communicator: je hecht veel belang aan communicatie in twee richtingen en wilt de onderliggende behoeften begrijpen. Door transparant en proactief te communiceren werk je mee aan vertrouwen in het team. Indien niet duidelijk vraag je ipv. te veronderstellen of gissen.

You guide the development and success of our products and lead the team. It is an important organizational role that sets the strategy, roadmap, and feature definition for our products.

The Role:

You understand customers are continuously re-evaluating our product. Therefore you always ensure we’re solving the right problems to create products that customers love. You don’t make assumptions but ask questions/research. You always keep in mind what we are building and why, so you can quickly adapt to changes and get valuable features out of the door.

  • The product roadmap to ensure accurate, timely, and consistent delivery of products is from your hand.

  • You lead the development and launch of new product features and services

  • You function as an internal champion to evangelize the product roadmap across the organization

  • The coordination of the team of developers and business managers to achieve business objectives gives you energy

  • You lead product vision and strategy for our platform

  • You work closely with the team to continue to improve our product development process

You develop trust through dynamic leadership qualities, involving transparency and honesty. We believe in realizing the strengths of people and delegating tasks to them also builds trust.

  • You make forward-looking decisions every day, weighing the options of risks and possible rewards.

  • You show the mental toughness and tenacity to pursue a problem until it’s solved.

And last but not least, you are a big fan of data. Not because of the theory but because you worked yourself into it, you have experienced what it brings, but also what it takes.

  • Strong data analysis is key to product optimization but also our key value proposition towards clients.

  • Your experience with AI allows you to detail our roadmap and inspire the team, but also to challenge the experts we partner with.

  • Your interest allows you to further embed the expertise and insights within our team.

    We offer:

    • The opportunity to contribute to a cutting-edge platform

    • On our payroll but if we see in you the perfect candidate, we are open to work with you as dedicated freelancer

    • A remote and flexible work environment

    • A supportive culture that cares about both excellent work and work-life balance

    • Ability to grow with the company
