Frontend Developer

Location: Eindhoven, campus of Eindhoven University of Technology

Hours per week: Fulltime [40h]

Think and work level: HBO or Academic | Computer Science

As a Frontend Developer, you work with other developers and project managers, ensuring a continuous and timely delivery of qualitative solutions, while acting as the go-to person for development advice and technical guidance in your team. We make frontends for portals, these can be websites, but also frontends for internal customer portals such as planning systems, learning environments, and data rooms.

What you tell your friends you do:

“My work offers a great deal of variety. I started out working on a project for a publisher of educational materials. It is a digital platform where children can learn words by playing games. For teachers, it is a tool to keep track of children's learning progress and to select teaching materials that can be covered. I have been developing various clear (responsive) screens that are accessible by teachers, students, and school administrators. When all work is done, then it's time for a beer with the team.”

But wait… what does that mean, day-to-day?

• You translate concepts and ideas into explicit software-based solutions;

• You map and connect to the structure created by a back-end developer

• You collaborate closely with other developers and project managers;

• Providing technical solutions to solve customers’ challenges and discuss the best approach for new projects with your team of developers;

• Code some (more complex) elements in the current projects;

• Develop, develop, develop, of course!
