This role has a 100% focus on the backend and you are not working at the frontend at all. The current team is working on site for at least 3 days a week but most of the time they are on site 4/5 days working together in collaborative coding sessions. No place for a lonely wolf, a perfect place for a teamplayer. Therefore it is important that you live maximum of 1 hour drive from Eindhoven or willing to relocate on a short time. Relocation from aboard is not an option in the timeline of this role unfortunately.
