Senior Developer / Technical Lead

About Reconcept

• At Reconcept, we’ve built a cutting-edge SaaS platform for medical education. We support a revolutionary way of learning where clinical experiences are directly transformed into learning outcomes.
• By helping healthcare institutions train staff faster and more effectively, we are tackling a global crisis: the growing shortage of healthcare professionals.
• With nearly all Dutch hospitals already on board, we are now rapidly expanding internationally. We currently serve over 100 organizations and 50,000+ users—and we’re just getting started.

The Role

The online platform Reconcept Portfolio has more than 50,000 users across over 100 healthcare organizations in the Netherlands. More than 70% of all medical specialists in the Netherlands are trained using our platform. We are currently expanding internationally.

As a Senior Developer / Technical Lead, you play a key role in the development of the entire application, with a strong focus on architectural decisions. In addition, you are responsible for optimizing the existing codebase. When complex trade-offs need to be made, you make the call. Security, usability, and innovation are crucial to our target audience and therefore top priorities.

The backend forms the foundation for multiple web and mobile applications and is built in Ruby on Rails. We use OAuth2 for single sign-on and GraphQL to expose our API to the frontend. The frontend consists of an Angular web application and a mobile app. Our workflows are well-structured with clear goals, yet non-bureaucratic—allowing us to move fast and get things done.

In the coming period, the focus will be on further developing the existing platform. Several challenging projects are on the roadmap, including AI integrations such as Speech-to-Text. You will collaborate closely with frontend and backend colleagues to deliver the best solutions for our users and take the lead in technical decision-making.

The Challenges

As a team, we work toward clear goals. Every growth phase brings new challenges that you are encouraged to think about—proactively and collaboratively. For example:

• How can we make the daily work of students and educators easier and learning moments more valuable?
• How can we give our project managers more configuration options so developers aren’t required for every change?
• How do we keep the platform fast when the number of users increases tenfold?
• How do we continuously develop new features while keeping the application stable (CI/CD)?
• How do we enable AI integrations with other systems while safeguarding privacy and information security?

Who We’re Looking For

• You are an enthusiastic (backend) developer who has spent years building robust applications
• You enjoy tackling complex architectural challenges
• You have demonstrable, extensive experience developing with one or more backend frameworks, preferably Ruby on Rails (experience with frontend frameworks such as Angular is a plus)

• You enjoy sharing knowledge and experience with colleagues
• You are used to working in an Agile environment
• You want to be challenged and to challenge others
• You are available 28–40 hours per week

What’s in it for you?

• What do we offer?
• An excellent salary
• Flexible working from home or at the office
• A motivating atmosphere in a fast-growing SaaS company
• The opportunity to work on a large-scale application with 50,000+ users
• A great team of driven and entrepreneurial colleagues
