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

Excited about using the latest web technologies?
Interested in solving human problems with a holistic approach?
Curious to experience a managerless work environment?

Look at you sounding like a Reaktorian already

About you

We are looking for a Software Developer to join our Amsterdam office that has been officially certified as a Great Place to Work! You will solve juicy digital challenges together with international clients, share expertise with others, and work closely with Reaktor communities in Lisbon, Helsinki, NYC and Tokyo.

Your qualification

Ideally you…

• Have 4+ years of professional web development experience
• 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 
• Are familiar with automated testing & functional programming 
• Believe that sometimes tech is best solved with no code at all, but by talking to the right people
• 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 an international tech company: interesting projects, competitive salary and an opportunity to learn from a 600+ Reaktor global network. But what really makes us different is our Nordic culture — expect great attention to the work-life balance with a possibility to work flexible hours; high levels of responsibility and autonomy; and a friendly team of interesting personalities willing to connect beyond work.

Here are our benefits in detail:

• Flexible working hours (as long as it works for the team and the client)
• Work trips between EU offices
• Team activities and get-togethers
• Compensation of self-development activities (courses, conferences, certifications, etc.)
• Get paid to do Open Source work
• Company shares
• The latest computer and phone of your choice
• Extended health insurance
• Screens, keyboard, headphones
• An ergonomic home office if needed
• Healthy and not-so-healthy snacks and drinks at the office
• Travel expenses
• Phone subscription
• Home internet expenses coverage
• Company trips twice a year (when the pandemic situation permits)

Relocation

If you’re not based in Amsterdam, no worries. What’s important is that you’d be willing to come join us. To make sure we’re a home for top talent like you, we offer a nice relocation package, as well as all the help and advice you need in moving over.

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!
