Tech Lead   Almere - full time (32-40 hours)

Your job as Tech Lead

As Tech Lead you will be responsible for owning and delivering multiple projects to our clients. Our clients are always closely involved with our development and you will cooperate with them directly. Our motto is: “We don’t simply build what the clients asks, but we build what the client needs”. In addition to functional requirements, you will also have to take non-functional requirements, like security and performance, into account.

You will always be involved in multiple projects and project teams can vary from two to as many as are needed, based on the size and planning of the project. To realise the design, you will lead your team of front-end and back-end developers. You will also be responsible for a portion of the development work yourself.

Because everybody works on multiple projects at the same time, we try to minimise the impact of context switching. We do this by standardising our tech stack between projects as much as possible including, amongst other things, Groovy and Grails, which are based upon Java and Spring. We also use Micronaut, a modern JVM-based framework. The primary solution for persistence is PostgreSQL, but we also add specific solutions such as Elasticsearch for implementing fast and customizable search support. Depending on the client, deployments happen in the cloud (Azure, AWS) or directly to a virtual private server. Docker is extensively used in the continous integration pipelines.

Are you a tech lead that stays up to date with the latest developments, has a passion for technology and are you a guardian of the quality of the code that you are responsible for? Do you like to challenge yourself and others to come up with a better solution? Do you like getting things done? Then we would love to hear from you!

Knowledge requirements
  • Java 9 (or more recent)
  • Spring, Grails (or another DI Framework)
  • Hibernate (or another ORM)
  • PostgreSQL (or another SQL RDBMS)
  • HTTP, REST
  • Git (or another SCM)
Preferred knowledge
  • GitLab (or another CI platform)
  • YouTrack (or another issue tracker)
  • Docker
  • Elasticsearch
Who are we?

Geckotech is a software development company that makes cool software. Our 15 employees develop custom applications for diverse clients, in various branches like construction, media, marketing and pharmaceuticals. Our approach to software development is agile, with a focus on early releases and continuous development and improvement. Our service spans the whole software development cycle, from the first analysis and planning, to the design, execution, testing, release and maintenance thereof.

Our goal is to work on projects that are interesting and enjoyable to work on.

What are we not looking for?
  • Someone who develops what is asked of them by the client, without thinking through the consequences that that might have for the end product
  • Someone who comes up with a problem for a solution
  • A leader who leads from an ivory tower
(Remote) work

At Geckotech we are proud of our office culture. Going to work must be enjoyable and that means, amongst other things, that we have a game room with a foosball table and an arcade game. We work on projects that we enjoy ourselves and at the end of the day there is always room for a drink. We have a shower in the office, allowing you to exercise either on their way to work, or during your break in the park nearby.
We love being in the office but realise that our employees (and not just the office itself) are the core of our business. As a result, this job is also available on a (partly) remote basis, although we find it important and enjoyable to see everyone at the office at least some of the time.

Terms of employment
  • Competitive salary
  • Full time (40/32 hours)
  • 25 days vacation
  • Laptop (MacBook Pro)
  • Flexible working hours
  • Parking in front of the office
