About the role

To accelerate our development, we are looking for a Medior Backend developer to take the lead in further developing the platform at our Amsterdam office. This platform allows us to provide customized solutions to clients and deliver on-demand insights to employers and candidates.

Our system is mainly developed in-house. The system is built on Amazon AWS (EC2 instances, RDS). The frontend runs on React/vanilla JavaScript. The scoring engine partially runs on custom R scripts developed in-house by data scientists. The data and system can be accessed through a Java Spring admin frontend and a REST API for the frontend. This enables us to create specific brain profiles for clients, automatically match candidates against them after gaming, calculate real-time scores, normalize them against reference groups, and make the scores available through PDF, API, and our own Brains Dashboard.

As a Medior Developer, we offer you the opportunity to creatively build a unique platform. With a focus on current requirements and an eye on the future, you will help modularly expand our testing platform with more tests, techniques, and data. You will be helping in shaping and expanding the system and closely collaborate with the other teams (science, R&D). This offers you the chance to elevate your knowledge not only technically but also personally. You will be a crucial part of an interdisciplinary, compact team and have the opportunity to further develop yourself technically and personally.
