About bol

Bol is the largest online retailer in the Netherlands and Belgium.

Position

How do you make our customers happy?

With 13 million customers, 129 million monthly visits and about 41 million products on display, bol is the most successful online retail platform in The Netherlands and Belgium. And when we say ‘platform’, we mean it. Well over 49,000 external partners – and counting – enrich the product base. Data-driven, adventurous (making mistakes is no biggie, as long as learnings are shared), we intend to deliver on our promise to make life easier and more fun for customers. And that is exactly what our IT 750+ professionals (25% internationals) do.

The biggest challenge

Although our business model may sound familiar, our approach to network retailing sets us apart from the usual suspects. So much so, in fact, that while we admire the achievements of international platforms, we don’t necessarily consider them our peers. We opt for a more localized approach (up close and personal!) and our ways of working reflect our idiosyncratic DNA. At bol, it’s all about autonomy and taking ownership, so end-to-end responsibility is the norm. Can you shoulder that?

Your responsibilities

As Software Engineer, you will join one of our product teams. We believe in ownership, and you will have a mandate (together with your team) to develop features end-to-end. At bol, we are big on autonomy, and that makes us strong: we expect you to make all (technical) choices along the way but also to assume ownership when things go awry. You build it – you run it – you love it is our mantra, and we live it every day. Every product team is part of a Fleet – every Fleet part of a Space.

As for your GPS location within the bol universe, check out which one you may call your (temporary, because moving between spaces is possible) home.

  • Develop clean, high-performance code that facilitates and inspires over 10 million customers, 23k partners, and almost 2.000 colleagues
  • Think of ways to make solutions scalable and future-proof
  • Help your team grow and team up with business stakeholders to ensure that solutions add customer value
  • Take full, end-to-end ownership over team solutions
  • Experiment with cutting-edge technology – including technology you add to the stack

No matter the space you’ll join, your tech stack may include:

  • Java (8 or higher)
  • Kotlin
  • GO
  • Google Cloud stack

Your qualification

3 reasons why this is (not) for you

  • Yes, because you take pride in writing high quality code, and are versed in Java and (some of) ↑
  • Yes, because you’re a true pioneer, both when it comes to coding and technology
  • Yes, because you want to team up with a market leader that feels like a scaleup
  • Not, because business concerns don’t concern you #letthemeatcode
  • Not, because you don’t believe the land of ‘weed, windmills and wooden shoes’ has much to offer to techies
  • Not, because you want to be taken by the hand; autonomy & ownership are not your thing

Additional details

Where you’ll work

As Software Engineer, you’ll join a product team you can always rely on for feedback and continuous professional growth. The setting? Think ‘campus’, including a game room and soccer field. Despite our size, we make fun of rigid rules and traditional work structures. We may be a market leader, but you won’t get a whiff of the corporate odor you associate with that. Our strength derives from working together as equals and constantly improving each other. After all, you can accomplish great things on your own, but so much more with your colleagues! Given that over 25% of our IT fleet consists of internationals – if you want the receipe for a celebratory Brazilian feijoada or want to sample authentic Greek mezze, Utrecht is the place to be – we have a lot of relocation experience. As for our ways of working, check out the videos. For info on current challenges (yep, we share code), check out our Techlab!

Your application process

  • Your application - Carefully, we take a look at your application. You will hear from us soon to let you know if we invite you for an interview
  • First contact - We’ll contact you to walk you through the process and take the first step to set up an interview. And since we’re already talking: feel free to ask any questions you may have
  • First date - During the first interview we’ll get to know each other. We want to find out more about you, your work experience and skills
  • Your next interview - Before this interview will take please we will ask you to take an online HR assessment and a technical assessment. We’ll also discuss the position and the team in depth 
  • Is this love? - Two interviews are usually enough to see if it’s a match. And if you agree… well, it’s the beautiful beginning of your career at bol
