Java software engineer

We are looking for a Junior Software Engineer to help us build new functionality and add improvements to our software. If you have an eye for writing code and are interested in agile methodologies, we’d like to meet you!

As a Software Engineer within a scrum team you use high quality code to solve complex puzzles. You collaborate with design engineers and test engineers to create new functionality for our customers and add internal improvements to our software. Together with the other members of your scrum team, you take full responsibility for a vital part of the software. You strive to deliver only solid solutions by optimizing their performance, usability and testability, and you are proud of the products that you create. You analyze complex problems by actively cooperating with colleagues from various teams and find the best solution by combining the different insights. As a part of a large community of fellow software engineers you are always looking for opportunities to keep improving your coding skills, and by doing so, improve our software and code base.

You will be part of the Requests cluster, which is responsible for how insurances are requested in our application Axon. Basically, we make sure that anyone requesting a new insurance can do that as easily and smoothly as possible. That can either be an end user via the internet, an intermediary or someone working for the insurance company itself.

Our team also prides itself in delivering quality software by improving the test automation and never missing an opportunity to improve existing code.

In addition, our teams work very closely together and are proud of their working atmosphere. Be ready to play cards and make some jokes together!
