They're the ones developing and managing those crucial Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), creating smart ways to store and handle data, and meticulously writing, testing, and maintaining code to solve any glitches. Plus, they're the innovative thinkers, brainstorming new features with designers and system administrators, and building out the website's architecture using proven methodologies like Agile Scrum. They bring order to system logic, are problem-solvers extraordinaire, and are wizards at debugging and troubleshooting applications., * Design, build, and maintain essential backend services using .NET on Azure.

• Feel free to submit your CV in either Dutch or English.

We also value experience with Infrastructure as Code, CI/CD pipelines, and containers (Docker/Kubernetes). Basically, if you're comfortable building and deploying modern applications, we want to hear from you.

What truly sets candidates apart are their strengths:

• Being able to communicate clearly and proactively with everyone, whether they're tech-savvy or not.
• Having a keen eye for code quality, security, and top-notch performance.
• A real knack for collaborating with DevOps and frontend teams to get things done.
• A genuine curiosity and creativity when it comes to exploring and using new technologies.
• A strong commitment to building solutions that are not only impactful but also built for the future.

While not a dealbreaker, any work experience in the energy sector would be a bonus!

• Flexible working hours and the possibility of location-independent work, depending on the team's planning.
• 100% reimbursement of commuting costs if you travel using public transportation. If you commute by car or motorcycle, you can opt for a commuting allowance.
