You & your role

We are looking for a senior developer, who has focused mostly on new technologies in recent years. We try to keep up with technology and actively update the languages/frameworks/libraries we use. Given that we build solutions for other developers, we often have discussions on what and how we build software. We love sharing knowledge and learning new things (many of us often give trainings or talks). We try out the latest and greatest on a regular basis, get time to experiment, and push the boundaries of how we do things. Innovation is part of who we are. We work together on many things including using pairing and mobbing. Our work contains less development work than the average job. We spend more time on brainstorm discussions, problem solving, migrations, architecture and figuring out how we can achieve progress in a efficient manner. We primarily work from home and visit "the tower" about once a week (the Rabobank office in Utrecht).
