Your role

The department C3 Surface (Command, Control & Communication) develops systems used in the ground based air defence domain. The department consists of approximately 70 employees and consultants organized into software teams with surrounding functions, like project managers and system engineers within the department.

You will be a part of a cross-functional team that plans and organizes its own work. The team is responsible for design, implementation and test of software functionality, with a lot of freedom.

* Analyze requirements and design object-oriented software
* Develop application software
* Integration and test
* Interaction with colleagues outside your team
* Participate in team meetings such as sprint planning, daily scrum and retrospective
