About Coolblue

Who we are

Coolblue is one of the largest and most customer-friendly online retailers in the Netherlands and Belgium, and we're also active in Germany. We have a wide range, from telephones to laptops and from washing machines to fridges. Our own delivery service delivers packages in our vans or electric bikes. We also have an installation service and customer service. With 6300 Coolbluers, we work hard every day to make customers happy. For example, we give expert advice and deliver your package to your home the next day.

Development at Coolblue

At Coolblue we don’t outsource our solutions if they provide us with a competitive advantage. Therefore, we keep all of our important processes in-house. We build and design our website ourselves. Just like all our software and systems. As a developer at Coolblue, you make the code, the process, and the designs a little better every day. You also think about challenges that have a major impact on Coolblue and our customers. For example, optimizing the stock or offering the most accurate delivery times.
We work in Scrum teams to ensure constant feedback and improvement and we aim to deliver new improvements daily.

What our developers love at Coolblue:

• Our friend group with more than 40 nationalities
• Besides their own specialization, they make fast progress in becoming all-round developers
• To think about challenges that have a major impact on Coolblue and our customers
• There is room to experiment
• Choose the right tool for the job yourself
• Successes are celebrated

Houcem moved to the Netherlands to work as an iOS developer at Coolblue in 2020. He loves traveling, soccer, supping, and stroopwafels. He’s happy to share his experience with his role, with Coolblue, and with his relocation to the Netherlands.
