Position

What are you going to do?

Being a Ruby/Elixir Developer is an exciting and varied job that touches different facets of both the customer fulfilment & assurance processes and the network infrastructure. The department we called ‘Digital Orchestration’ is the gateway between the commercial customer services and the implementation of those in our networks and on our service platforms. This encompasses internet access, TV and voice services for our consumer domain and internet access, connectivity and hosted voice/mobile connect services for our extended business line. The SCRUM team that you’ll join is developing and maintaining software that handles all the transactions towards our growing fixed network and service platforms.

Your responsibility as a developer is to create and improve software together with your team to automate the network configuration, service fulfilment and service assurance processes, so our customers get the best experience when using those services.

Your team will be responsible for the complete software development cycle. From gathering requirements, designing the solution, develop, test and deploy (via CI/CD of course) to the aftercare, DevOps style. Do you have a talent for writing elegant Ruby code? And did you already had a look at Elixir? We can offer you the opportunity to work with emerging technologies and a modern telecom network!

Where are you going to work?

We are a challenging telco company to work for. We work harder than most. Why? Because our customers deserve to get what they need. That’s why we need people who challenge outdated mindsets. People who think fast and rewrite the rules. Who have a fierce ambition to bring change.

Barriers prevent people from being their best selves. That’s why it’s our mission to break through these barriers in the telecom industry. Everyone should benefit from a connected life, don’t you agree? The Fixed Network department makes this happen. Software changes, customer connections, hosting and security; we’ve got it all covered. Small teams, professionals from around the world, and an impressive challenger quality. How else can we support more than a thousand internal and millions of external users? This is where we make an impact.

We believe in a connected life. For our customers and our employees. You create your workspace. At the office? You’ll be in good company! At home? Be sure to do the dishes while you’re there. The more people, places, and things are connected, the more value is created. For all of us.

You can also look forward to seriously funny colleagues, regular exercise with a Health Club, and, of course, a salary, holiday leave, and generous bonuses.

Although we might not be a start-up (we do have awesome macchiato’s), we do behave like one. We are a challenger. For over twenty years, we have been providing our customers with the service they deserve. And these days we’re on a mission to make a connected life completely carefree. We want to get rid of constraints that prevent people from being their best selves sooner rather than later. That is carefree living as it is meant to be. Because it can be.
