Front-end Developer (NL/EN

Develop, design and improve.
Belsimpel is constantly evolving, and so are you as a front-ender! Develop new features based on AB-tests, refactor code for the future or help your colleagues with our back office pages. At Belsimpel, you do it all, all by yourself.
How do we develop software?
Each team works on its own part of the software. These can be customer-oriented components, but also our warehouse system or our own HR system. You develop, optimise and implement new features. We develop all the systems we work on ourselves, so that we can respond effectively to complex and challenging changes in the market. We also use the systems ourselves, but we build them as independently functioning software that is also interesting for other companies. So, although we are also a web shop, we see ourselves as a software company. So our scope is much broader than you might think.
Our stack

...and don't forget Gitlab, Docker, Typescript and Redis. We use various tools including Jetbrains, Slack, Ubuntu/Windows and vscode. This is always in motion, as the world of technology never stands still either.

What can you expect from us?

Ana Roman, from Romania, started working for a company while she was still studying in Groningen. The company liked her work ethic and was very happy to offer her a full-time position after she graduated.
She admits that it took her a bit longer than her peers to finish her course because she was also juggling the job. However, she learned a lot and also earned some money along the way.
