Backend Developer Position
As a backend developer you are responsible for the further development of our primary application: docGen. You write the code yourself and of course you also take care of the associated unit tests. In addition, you contribute to improving the software architecture and you are actively involved in translating wishes and ideas into a technical design that fits within the design principles of docGen.
We are a small but ambitious team with a passion for detail and a grand appreciation for elegant code and a dog with a little obsession with carrots. Is there a match? Then be sure to apply quickly.
What are you gonna build?
DocGen is a web-based enterprise level application that delivers powerful document generation functionalities, with maximum ease of implementation and integration. DocGen is the government-wide standard for the (automated) creation of documents in (State) branding, with which approximately 60% of our ministries currently create their formal documents such as letters, reports, memos and reports according to the house style guidelines. DocGen excels at using complex dynamic forms, which is what makes the frontend of docGen a complex beast!
The backend of docGen is based on PHP. However, we have been moving towards a Microservices architecture, which makes it easier to introduce new services (and therefore also the use of new languages).
What will you do as a Backend Developer at Rednose?
You will help invent and develop (Agile) new features for docGen. Together with your team and the product owner, you will draw up specifications, work out mockups, and together develop robust backend at Enterprise level. In addition, you think out and write along (preferably generic) links with third party systems (for example a DMS or Process system). You contribute to the development of architectural issues. In consultation with your team, you draw up specifications for new functions and features. You contribute to quality improvements for the application by solving bugs and shortcomings. Based on your expertise, you actively contribute to knowledge-sharing within your team. Give presentations to your team about the feature you proposed or developed. You write your own tests in order to take Test-driven development to a higher level. You are part of brainstorming sessions in order to give direction to the further development of the product.
