Software Developer

About Reaktor

At Reaktor, we create digital products, services, and strategies built on exceptional technological competence. We are looking for software developers to join our team in Amsterdam – wherever you might be living now.

The Amsterdam office was founded by expats, and the team here in the Netherlands is currently boasting 21 nationalities. At Reaktor, you will solve meaningful and challenging tasks with a friendly team of the brightest minds. We hire a personality, not a pair of hands. Here you’re free to express your personal quirkiness, explore different domains and technologies, and shape your own development path.

Position

Curious about applying your tech skills in different domains?
Enjoy planning and theory, but get the most joy out of the execution?
Passionate about finding new ways of working with your teammates?
Excited about solving human problems with a holistic approach?

Look at you sounding like a Reaktorian already

At Reaktor, we design and build tomorrow’s digital products. We are known for our flat hierarchy, have a 5-star Glassdoor rating, and launched a satellite running Node.js in low Earth orbit.

The Amsterdam office has a unique vibe, being a lively mix of 20 nationalities. From day one, our growth philosophy has been to hire any and all Reaktorians out there. This has served us well, with a welcoming community of humans who will connect with you beyond the day-to-day.

We make our clients succeed in technology

Reaktor teams work in close co-operation with our clients. We deliver anything from the automation of beer brewing processes and fintech mobile apps; to the scaling of infrastructure needed for drops of limited-edition adidas sneakers.

When you’re a Reaktorian, you’re going to be collaborating with our top minds to solve really juicy tech problems in meaningful, future-forward ways. If it runs code, our team can make it.

Your qualification

Ideally you…

• View your colleagues and clients as individuals with their respective strengths and weaknesses 
• Believe that sometimes tech is best solved with no code at all, but by talking to the right people
• Can work with the team to decide the best tools for the job at hand. Sometimes it’s Clojure running in a Kubernetes cluster, and sometimes it’s a small piece of JS running on AWS Lambda
• Enjoy working with juniors and seniors on the shiny and dirty bits of the codebase. No ivory tower architects here

What about the tech?

We know that good developers can create great things in any language. We have no hard language or tech requirements. Things we get excited about include: functional programming, state management, Node.js, Clojure, TypeScript, React, Swift, Kotlin, SQL and NoSQL, Kanban.

What we offer

We offer everything you’d expect of a tech company, but what really makes us different is our culture — and that isn’t so easy to put on paper. Nevertheless, we’ll give it a try:

• Flexibility in working hours and choosing your projects and technologies
• Autonomy: Amsterdam office is led by a Leadership Team instead of a single CEO. At the heart of our culture is making sure you always have a say 
• Growth: Make use of an unlimited learning budget and participate in our global training and communities of practice 
• Freedom: Shape the career path you like: try on different roles as you grow at Reaktor
• People: You’ll be working with top minds who are happy to connect within and beyond working hours
• Tools: If it can make work faster and easier, it’s on your table. You’ll receive the latest phone and laptop models as well as the opportunity to choose any tool you need to do your best work
• The necessary stuff: To make your life comfortable, we provide health insurance, a pension plan, phone subscription, travel costs, and extended vacation days 
• The cool stuff: The company boat, office trips, beer fridge, and parties (when we are back to the new normal)

Additional details

Sounds like you? We need to meet!

• We’ll start with a brief video chat, just to say hi. Hi!
• Then we’ll get to know you a bit better. We call this the Culture and Attitude interview
• Next up is a technical interview. No brain teasers or sorting algos, we promise. You choose a couple of topics to discuss, we’ll choose a couple of topics to discuss
• Finally, the closing interview. Here we discuss practicalities and make you an offer we hope you can’t refuse
• You’re in!

So, dear future colleague, we can’t wait to hear from you!
