Job position: Lead Web Developer at INDG (Amsterdam)

INDG

The growing interest of leading international brands challenges us to continuously step up our game, and therefore we are looking for an Amsterdam based

Lead Web Developer

If you are ready for some serious action and would like to start using your skills to the max, you are reading the right job post. We face plenty of challenging, mind-bending problems every day and want you to put your genius mind to work. Next to this, we have a bunch of crazy creative concepts needing a technical hotshot to fiercely take the lead and make sure that the technical dimension of a web application project rounds off to a stunning result.

We are looking for a Development Lead who can lead a band of code-warriors because of his or her awesome knowledge, his weird food preferences, his epic beard growth or just because he is the best person for the job. Within a project, you will be the Lead Developer, leading and coaching a team of multi-skilled developers who are just as smart and eager as you are. Together you’ll go on a quest to find the best possible solution of the highest quality. Every now and then you and your team will organize a wine-and-dine at the office (or just order food that comes in boxes), to hit the deadline and do some serious high-fiving before heading home.

You are constantly gathering information about latest web developments, making you the most reliable source of the best technologies to use, whilst carrying around a big backpack full of years of experience.

Within INDG, you can grow in the direction that you wish to use your mastermind. Besides web-based applications, we develop solutions for a wide range of platforms including smart phones, tablets and native mobile platforms, harnessing new techniques and technologies such as AR (Augmented Reality) and advanced real-time & pre-rendered 3D.

Responsibilities

  • Close cooperation with the Project Manager for scope & planning and the Solution Manager for the required functionalities
  • Technical design of the solution and breakdown into user stories
  • Provide ballpark figures and estimates
  • Leading the project-development team to develop and deliver the solution according to plan, making sure quality standards and best practices are applied

Required skills

  • Higher professional education (HBO) or above (Computer Science or similar)
  • Seasoned in object oriented design and programming techniques, familiar with UML
  • Experienced in ActionScript, HTML, JSON, XML, Javascript, PHP
  • Experienced with development for native mobile platforms & browsers
  • Eager to learn, introduce and apply new technologies
  • Strong analytical and communication skills
  • Demonstrated leadership skills, experienced in coordinating the activities of development team (local and/or remote) making sure that project objectives are realized

Advantageous skills

  • Photoshop/Flash experience
  • Experience with dynamic image rendering solutions (like Adobe Scene7)
  • Experience with MongoDB
  • Experienced in Agile methodology

Candidates must be eligible to work in the EU
