What kind of person are we looking for?

You are a passionate medior backend developer who, as part of our multidisciplinary team (currently 15 specialists), wants to develop beautiful and innovative websites for our clients (NGOs, commercial organizations and especially cultural organizations in The Netherlands).

You will help us achieve our ambitions as an organisation and will also grow on a personal level. You are always willing to help colleagues and share your knowledge, just as your colleagues are there for you.
