At aNewSpring, we are looking for an enthusiastic Full Stack Developer. Your mission will be to make sure our platform keeps on expanding in a stable way and to bring it to the next level in a modern-day cloud infrastructure.
Are we looking for you? The field of development has no secrets for you! You are a professional like no other when it comes to Java. Can you help us migrate our application to be cloud-native, for example using Docker containers, and do you have an idea about how to transition an existing application to use microservices? If so, you’ve come to the right place.
At aNewSpring, we do everything we can to make learning fun and effective. Our software for professional training providers helps them create beautiful, effective and varied Learning Journeys. We work with a no-nonsense approach and believe in open, positive and respectful collaboration. This approach allows us to improve continuously and offer our clients a better experience. Besides that, this mindset has led to an eNPS, that hasn’t dipped below 48 in the past 12 months and is currently even at 60!
This way of working has allowed us to grow from a small start-up to a fast-growing SaaS company over the past ten years, with thousands of customers and even more satisfied students already. We are a Dutch company, based in Rotterdam, with offices and partners in our main regions (UK, Australia and South Africa).
Together with your Scrum team of Developers, a QA Engineer and a Designer, you’ll need to balance how the feature will fit into the current architecture of the code, adhere to the quality standard you’ve agreed on and how it will be finished on time of course. Or would you even challenge us to use a different architectural approach than our current one by convincing us of its benefits?
Do you have experience in writing Docker containers for monolithic applications? Or do you know how to split up a monolith into several smaller microservices? Your insights in those areas are highly appreciated, as those are the things we will need in order to keep expanding globally.
You like working on the entire development process, from designing to implementation and testing. You are not a follower but you know how to stick to a plan and execute it. You’re up for a challenge and you come up with your own creative solutions. You are a team player, analytical, result orientated and love to learn, which is what makes you and aNewSpring a perfect fit.
You have at least five years of experience building Java web applications with a strong understanding of MySQL. Any experience with Apache Tomcat, AWS Services and Docker containers is highly valued, as is a proven experience with app-development using the Cordova-framework. You are fluent in English and preferably Dutch, another language like Macedonian, Serbian or Portuguese is a nice plus for communicating more closely with your colleagues over there. You live in the Netherlands, or are willing to relocate.
Are you that person? Let’s talk!
