Medior Software Engineer at Harver B.V. (Amsterdam, Netherlands)
Medior Software Engineer
Harver is one of Europe and Amsterdam’s top scale-up companies. We are looking forward to continued growth in 2021 and looking for Software Engineers to help form a new development team responsible for creating and delivering a new addition to our product suite.
At Harver, as a Software Engineer you will have three key areas of responsibility:
- You and your team will create, deploy and manage a SaaS software used by millions of people globally.
- You will practice all facets of good software development: user experience, performance, scalability, security, maintainability etc.
- You will be engaged in the process of making software. You will be inspired by methodologies such as Lean Development and Extreme Programming.
Your impact
As a Software Engineer, you’ll be an integral part of a focused team of 3-5 software engineers together with QA, Devops and UX specialists. Software teams at Harver independently own domain services within our product-suite and are responsible for their development, maintenance, releases and integration.
While familiarity with our core technology stack (Node, React, Typescript, Postgres, Mongo, AWS) is a bonus, we’re looking for not just great coders, but great software engineers who are focused on delivering great products and inspiring those around them to do so too.
As a Software Engineer at Harver, you’ll advocate for our engineering principles:
- Simple Design. Build up system complexity through frequent simple steps. Simplicity before generality.
- Behavior Driven Development. The process of developing software collaboratively driven by specification.
- Continuous Delivery. Creating a momentum of delivery through incremental feedback cycles and updates.
- Non-solo programming. Working collaboratively and as a true team.
- Understanding Production. Understanding how your software works in the real-world in terms of both technical operation and user experience.
These five principles are derived from Extreme Programming; we also eschew Scrum in favor of more Kanban and Lean styles of working. These are all concepts should you have some experience of but also desire a deeper understanding.
Harver’s culture
Our broader company values at Harver also describe our company and engineering culture:
- Dare to jump. We give you and your team trust and autonomy. You have the power to make the right decisions.
- Act one step ahead. We continually improve and innovate with our product and technology
- Land on the right side of history. We manage and process the data we collect responsibly and ethically. We are proactive in preventing discrimination.
- Make it a journey to remember. Harver is a true scale-up and, as it grows, we want you to enjoy it; accepting new challenges, meeting new faces and growing personally.
Who are you?
- The points in this post about responsibilities, engineering practices and culture should resonate with you and excite you.
- You want to work in a collaborative and productive environment.
- You are a continual learner and stay up to date with technology
- You may be disillusioned by sprints and story points and are seeking liberation; another way
