Full Stack Software Engineer

“When I joined the company as one of the earliest employees four years ago, we brought the minimum viable product to market in less than a year, and since then we‘ve continuously improved and professionalized. We’re in a brand-new phase every year; it’s impossible to grow bored. And of course, I also like that we’re continuously winning. We’re a trusted industry partner now, with tangible success.” - Bart Römgens, lead software engineer Applications & Integrations
