Senior Software Engineer

We are looking for design, develop, and maintain RYGGRAD, the metadata backbone of next-generation data mesh and platform. We are an autonomous, self-organized team with an agile way of working. All team members participate in defining our short- and long-term goals,with everyone's opinion being valued during our planning. We acknowledge and address tech debt early and often, before it becomes a larger problem.

Together, we create a challenging but happy work environment, where we try to put you in control of your activities, and where you always have the opportunity to grow both personally and professionally.

knowledge, experience, competence, skills etc

You have worked within the (meta)data management space for several of your recent professional years. You are excited about "connecting the dots" within a complex and huge data ecosystem and landscape. You understand that within a large organization like you will have to adapt to, and work with, both old and new technologies running in very varied environments.

You have a strong belief in automation, but you are also not afraid of rolling up your sleeves and confirm your hypothesis manually.

You take your time with discovery and exploration before writing the first lines of code, and validate the value of your proposals through proof-of-concepts and close collaboration with our stakeholders, data architects, and product teams.

You consider well-written documentation as a feature, and understand the value of maintaining documentation of the highest quality.

You are eager to learn and share your knowledge with your team, and not hesitate to jump into an issue where you believe you can be of assistance.
