Senior Software Developer (C++)

Headquartered in Rotterdam since 2007, the company now sells in 40 countries and supports customers in 11 languages. We run one of the larger SaaS platforms for commercial insurance carriers, processing millions of policy transactions a year.

The position:

This is a backfill for a team member who moved to another team. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Remote within the Netherlands. The team meets in Rotterdam once a quarter, travel covered. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

Main duties:

• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.

Required qualifications:

• 7+ years of professional software development experience.
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.

Salary: €7,900 - €10,500 monthly

Why work with us:

• Pension scheme.
• 25 annual leave days.
• 30% ruling for eligible candidates.
• 13th month salary.
• Training budget.
• 8% holiday allowance.
• Laptop and phone.

Candidates must be eligible to work in Netherlands.
