About this role

Dutch Coding Company frequently works with experienced freelance developers. We work with temporary full-time assignments and longer term part-time assignments. For this we have a network of freelance developers.

As a back-end developer you're, together with the team, responsible for the development and maintenance of digital product that help our clients grow. As a team lead, you'll set the bar when it comes to quality and the way of work within the team. You'll work directly with our client and the end user: you'll advise on technical solutions, manage the planning and expectations and take responsibility for the team's delivery.

Even as freelancer, you'll be involved with new project from an early stage. Based on the required functionalities of a project, you'll write a project plan. Together with the team you'll device a technical solution, such as the API, database models and other architecture. That's how you'll contribute to a good experience for end users. We handle a lot of privacy sensitive data and our clients often depend on the products we create, so the quality and security of your work is very important.

The back-end team consists of experienced and passionate Laravel and NodeJS developers. You'll help the team to perform at their best, but you can also expect direct feedback if that benefits the quality of our products. Besides that, you'll work intensively together with the rest of the team, consisting of app (Flutter) and front-end developers, UI/UX designers and sales consultants.

Besides the work, we like to have some fun together as well. Even when you're not currently involved with a project, you're more than welcome at our Friday drinks and outings.
