Job description
At the office of Veneficus, every day is different. There are however, regular weekly meetings with the team. Take a look at how a week at Veneficus might look!
It's Monday morning and we start with a meeting, our Coffee Monday, to update each other about all that is happening within the company. Coffee, cookies and enthusiastic stories about the previous week, as well as the coming week, are shared. You have the opportunity to share your successes with colleagues. When telling about one of the problems you experienced last week, a spontaneous brainstorm with your colleagues follows. Full of new ideas, you are now able to tackle the problem as you start your week.
Prior to the meeting you received an email with all the priorities this week from Robbert. After you read the email you check Assembla, where some new tickets are waiting for you. You prepare yourself to start working on your first project for this week. After the Coffee Monday you begin. You will be working on a new project for one of our clients in the Maritime industry. The challenge for you is to control the different versions of the data. Making it even more complicated, the client also has the possibility to adjust the data themselves. Once you have worked on this challenge, you can now apply a previously developed function that will automatically analyze and generate a report. Just like we thought of when we made the function in the previous project.
During the day, a consultant asks if you can help him with putting a demo online. Daan has a meeting with a potential client and want to show the demo. The consultant has made the necessary data preparations and now you do your part by making sure the tool is available in an online environment.
Now you have time to start working on a project for one of our Retail clients. Building a link with their database already works well and the client is also able to upload extra data through Veneficus' web tool. You continue working on the modelling process. However, you are not satisfied with the performance and look into this. Together with Bart, another colleague, you research the problem. During the sparring session, which follows, you think of a solution. After some well-earned compliments, you quickly work on solving the problem.
This Thursday we have our monthly knowledge session. During this time, the whole team gathers at the office at the end of the day for some inspiring presentations about the latest developments and projects. This evening Bart will tell about our newest location analysis tool and how Django played an important role in realizing this tool. The consultants now know more about all the possibilities and already have ideas for the creation of new tools. Afterwards we have dinner with the whole group.
It is Friday already, and the whole team will be at the office. Most of them work on internal projects. After lunch, we have what we call a Braining Friday session. This time we discuss the power of GPU and how we can apply this in our projects. Jorick, will give a short demonstration helping everyone become more enthusiastic. The brainstorm session is inspiring and time is running out already. Perhaps you know a subject we can to brainstorm about next week?
As you can see, working at Veneficus offers variety, is inspiring and challenging!
The job - What are we looking for?
We are looking for an ambitious addition to our team who would like to be involved with the development of our web tools. Within Veneficus we are increasingly developing web applications to present our analysis. Some recent examples are:
- Potential analysis of a location
- World Sea Trade Model
- Web2Docx
In this position you will be involved with many ideas where you take on the role of web developer. The focus will be on the development of the back-end, where we aim to build solutions in a manner in which we can use them again at other projects. You should estimate the feasibility of (new) ideas, and you are responsible for translating these ideas to web tools.
Basically, this is a job where you will be working with the latest technologies and where you will have many responsibilities as well as plenty of freedom to develop yourself.
