About the role

As a Software Developer at Not a Number, you will be responsible for developing custom software solutions, including ERP systems, customer portals, and ordering platforms. A key focus is on configurators, ranging from product to document configurators. You will collaborate closely with your development team to translate requirements into optimal technical solutions, utilizing and expanding our component library while developing new functionalities. Your strong frontend skills are complemented by a solid understanding of backend development.

You will contribute to continuously improving the quality of our digital products and component library alongside talented colleagues. This role is foundational to a newly forming development team within our organization.

Responsibilities

• Support customers and colleagues by providing excellent service.
• Critically discuss technical approaches and propose process improvements.
• Participate in Scrum rituals such as standups, sprint planning, and retrospectives.

• Estimate backlogs for new projects and assist in resolving issues in existing functionalities.

Requirements

• Significant expertise in NextJS and React (or equivalent programming languages).
• Experience working with Laravel and PHP.
• Ability to engage in critical discussions while also letting go of non-essential matters.
• Extensive experience working with and managing generic components.
• Familiarity with Git and the Scrum methodology.
• Enthusiasm for supporting customers and colleagues with outstanding service.
• Strong team-player mentality with a broad perspective on projects and processes.
• Willingness to propose and implement improvements.
• Fit well within our team, where enjoyment and inspiration are as important as development.
• HBO/WO level of thinking (preferably a degree in Computer Science or a related field) and at least 2 years of relevant work experience.

Benefits

• Market-conform salary based on our competency model.
• Unlimited vacation days (we’ll explain what this means during your interview).
• Annual profit sharing.
• Comprehensive additional benefits, including pension allowance, laptop, training and travel expense reimbursement, and more.
• Opportunities to work with great clients in a growth-focused organization.
• Knowledge sharing in a fun team with experienced developers.
• Extensive lunch provided.
• Flexible working hours and the ability to work from home.
• Home office allowance.
• Opportunities for personal and professional development.

Schedule

• You are expected to be in the office (Dirksland or Breda) at least two days per week.
• Daily standups start at 9:00 AM, conducted remotely via Gather or in-person at the office.
• Mondays often include team discussions about weekend activities and planning core activities.
• Bi-weekly sprint planning sessions alternate with physical standups.
• Retrospectives are held every four weeks to review the previous sprints.
• Flexible work-from-home options for the remaining days.

A typical workweek

Your week starts with a 9:00 AM standup, either remotely or in the office. On Mondays, the team often discusses weekend activities before diving into work. You check Slack, Monday, and your email for any urgent questions or support tickets, prioritizing tasks based on urgency. You then review your sprint board and begin working on assigned tasks.

On office days in Dirksland, you enjoy a fixed workspace and collaborate in person with your team. Standups are physical, and bi-weekly sprint planning sessions help prioritize backlogs and plan upcoming sprints. Every four weeks, a retrospective meeting reviews the previous sprints.

You might propose new components for the library and discuss their integration with the team and product owner. Lunch is a shared affair, often followed by a quick game of football with the office dog, Marley, or building with Lego. After lunch, you continue working on custom interactions for client portals, collaborating with backend and frontend colleagues to ensure seamless integration.

On remote days, you might have team meetings to estimate new project backlogs or calls with clients to resolve issues. You proactively monitor systems, such as checking API calls to a client’s ERP system, and communicate any issues to the product owner. Occasionally, you’ll wrap up early for personal commitments, like picking up your child from school.

At the end of the week, you might discuss plans for the quarterly team outing—perhaps an escape room or another activity. While the team values good relationships, they also prioritize work-life balance, so after-work drinks are rare. Instead, everyone heads home to enjoy time with family or friends.
