Job position: Senior Front-end Developer at Netwerven (Amsterdam)
Netwerven is an Amsterdam based young (founded 2006), fast-growing (from 15 to 48 employees in the last two years) company. Netwerven is dedicated to creating the best responsive recruitment sites and recruitment apps. We also offer online performance based targeted advertising, like social referral marketing, search engine marketing, social media strategies and online sourcing.
Netwerven is a Dutch name which translates to “Netrecruitment” in English. We have large international clients (Booking.com, Ahold, Manpower, ING, Deloitte, DHL, Cofely GDF Suez) as well as large local Dutch players like Jumbo, NS (Dutch Railways), Delta Lloyd (traineeship), Nationale Nederlanden, bol.com, Eneco. Next to Dutch staff the company employs people from Portugal, Spain, Russia, Greece, Romania, Poland and Italy.
We apply the Scrum process to their projects. A typical project takes 3 to 4 months, and the team consists of a Team Lead, a Back End and a Front End Developer, a Product Owner and a Scrum Master. Some teams have one or two extra developers depending on the projects the team is working on. Developers usually work on multiple projects at the same time. Usually it concerns high volume websites. We apply a structured development approach with a DTAP (Development, Testing, Acceptance, Production) line and work with distributed version control using Git. All code is run through a peer review process. You will be reviewing code from others as well.
Your job as a Senior Front-end Developer:
Front-end developers at Netwerven are asked to do more than ‘just’ translate the designs into quick and correct HTML/CSS/Javascript. We expect you to work closely together with the designers and come up with your own ideas. As a senior you also have a leading role in experimenting and pioniering with new techniques. Seniors with strong back-end capacities can grow into a lead developer position.
