Your qualification

You see the world around you having more and more computing power and connectivity. In your role as software developer you know that these massive amounts of data have technical challenges in the backend. Solutions you develop do not solely rely on vertical scaling as the amount of cores and their speed has it limits. You have engineered solutions that scale horizontally in which availability, resilience and through put go hand in hand. You do realize that bringing value and quality is essential and you do so by standing on the shoulders of industry giants. The means in your role you are capable to understand the actual core of problems and select and apply the right frameworks/tools and infrastructure. This way you deliver value and quality quickly.

You truly believe Agile/Scrum is the development methodology. By delivering features incrementally you welcome feedback from your stakeholders. To ensure quality in such an environment you write unit tests and refactor code where needed to move forward. “Red, green, refactor” is how you develop, think and ensure quality.

You are an integral part of the development team: you participate in user story writing/analysis and execution as you take your industry experience (at least 4 years) with you. A team player is who you are at heart, you get energized by working in a team and getting results as a team.

You take pride on having a large toolbox. Think, but not exclusively:

• SQL or NoSQL databases like, Micosoft SQL Server, MongoDB, PostGreSQL, RIAK, HBase, Cassandra
• Hadoop, Spark, Storm
