Currently, Wolfpack consists of 3 teams, also referred to as "packs," each with their own stack focus: Team Desert Moon (Google Cloud/Flutter), Team Solid (C#, .NET), and Team Alpha (PHP/Laravel/VUE especially Filament). Within the packs, projects are tackled from A to Z, making sure you have a complete overview instead of just focusing on a small part. So, together with the other ambitious wolves in your pack, you can truly make an impact! Besides hard work, there is plenty of room for personal development and growth. Also, we really value a good work environment where everybody feels comfortable.

What we offer you:

• A competitive salary (we do not believe in a fixed range in a vacancy, but we discuss your salary wishes and together we look at the possibilities within Wolfpack based on your work experience, education and the role you are looking for).

• Good secondary employment conditions, such as: a (green) pension, a lot of freedom in your hours, good equipment and attention to your personal development.

• Smart colleagues with a similar technical background.

• We work together in project teams, at our own location in Eindhoven, on the TU/e ​​Campus. So we do not second.

For instance, we go on workations in the Ardennes, organized the second edition of the Down the Wolfhole festival last summer, and often plan fun events in the evenings, such as hackathons, beach volleyball tournaments, or pulled pork poker nights.
