• Experience in tuning and scaling a big application
• Familiarity with functional programming and its concepts
• Having worked with distributed systems before
• DevOps mentality

Practical requirements

• EU citizenship or a work permit, preferably already living in The Netherlands
• Available for at least 4 days a week, preferably full-time

What do we offer?

• Salary of 3400-5700 euros per month based on your experience
• Career structure with clearly defined levels and steps
• Challenging full-time function with space for personal initiative
• An interesting job within a talented development team, with different levels of experience
• Excellent training and onboarding to get to know the tool, our processes, and your colleagues. After that, you’ll get the trust and responsibility to show what you got. Your buddy will support you throughout the whole onboarding
• Working for a fast-growing company with a young and ambitious team
  
• Awesome and brand new office in the city center of Utrecht and activities like hackathons and sports groups

"Everyone is allowed to grow at their own pace and in whatever aspects their interests lie. In my own case, after only half a year at Channable, I was given the opportunity to take ownership of a new project I showed interest in. As an employee, I feel cared for, and during these hard Corona times, knowing Channable has my back is very important for me."

• Miquel, Python Software Engineer at Channable.
