Arbor does DDoS and Advanced Threat Protection.

We've got two job openings with the Arbor Delft team. The team is small so these job descriptions describe where your main focus will be, but you will be expected to pick up tasks "from the other side" now and then.

Experience with Linux and the command line is preferred.

Also, the main language in the office is Dutch and you will be expected to learn it if you do not already know it. Initially you can get by with English.

For both jobs you'll have an interview with two developers where we'll talk with you about past projects, technologies, programming languages, your interests, etc. Then there will be a second interview with the local manager which fill focus more on the 'soft' side of things, perhaps even salary.

If you make it through those two interviews you'll have a short (hour long), on-site coding exercise just to see how you go about solving a problem. It's a relatively simple exercise, you can ask questions, look stuff up on-line and it doesn't have to be finished. It's to give us a global impression on how you handle things.

1. Software Developer – UI / Javascript Applications

The main focus is the front-end. UX experience very welcome although you will be mainly implementing (at least initially) instead of designing. Experience with one or more of the following technologies: Rails & Ruby, AngularJS, React, JavaScript.

2. Software Developer - Back-end and middle-ware C/C++ and Python

The main focus of your job will be the everything except the front-end. Experience with one or more of the following technologies: C/C++, Python. Experience with one or more of the following will make you more interesting to us: INTERCAL, Ruby, Scala, shell scripts.

Springest is a rapidly growing international marketplace for learning. From online trainings to university courseware, Springest helps you find, compare, and book whatever you need to reach your personal and professional learning goals.

We are looking for a senior developer to join our product team. We use Holacracy which in short means we have no managers and you are in control of what you do. You help build and shape the product.

Stack: our main app is built on Rails with Postgresql, Elasticsearch, Redis and more. Next to this we have a lot of smaller services and internal tools where we use whatever tool is best for the job but we have Golang and Elixir/Phoenix in production.

Springeteers are a happy bunch, and learning is very important here. Next to internal workshops, we regularly host meetups in the Ruby and DevOps spaces. We also organise monthly in-company hackdays where we work on creative ideas and new technologies that are not on our regular roadmap. Some hackday projects have grown out to become part of our core business. If you come up with a great idea you're excited about, you can run with it and see how far it can go.

VISA: We can and have hired from outside the EU so we can help you get set up here in Amsterdam.

Every employee gets a 1000 Euro budget per year which you can use to go to conferences, buy books etc to develop yourself. We are an English speaking company but some of us have also used it to learn Dutch.

Interview process: When hiring we like to talk in person or on the phone to get to know you, after which we do a 1-2 day trial to get a feel for your working style. This also helps you get a better impression of our team, our working environment, and the Holacratic process.
