Portbase - Java Developer bij Portbase in Rotterdam

As a Software Engineer in Team Hinterland, you help design, build and deliver the software that keeps the hinterland transport chain moving. You work in a focused Scrum team where Software Engineers, Business Analysts/Managers and Product Owners collaborate closely. Your main responsibility lies in creating maintainable front-end solutions, while also contributing to back-end development.

Your knowledge of Angular and TypeScript enables you to build clean, reusable and well-tested components. At the same time, you're curious about the systems behind the interface: how data flows, how services interact, how infrastructure scales.

We are looking for you if you

• Bachelor’s/Master’s level of working and thinking;

• Have at least 4 years of experience with Angular and TypeScript;

• Love clean code, reusable components and thoughtful architecture;

• Have an interest in or experience with backend (Java, Kotlin, event-driven systems);

• Are familiar with or open to working with AWS, Terraform, Docker and cloud-native stacks;

• Care about security, authentication and robust authorization;

• Currently living in the Netherlands;

• Bonus points for: mobile app development, CloudFront, Event Sourcing frameworks experience;

• Know that technology is a means to an end: better port logistics and higher customer satisfaction.

• An office within walking distance of Station Blaak and De Markthal.

• Performance management; ownership of your own development, just like with your code, you are in control, we facilitate.

• Plenty of room for creativity, innovation and personal initiatives. Whether you work with us for a week, a month or a year, we are open to it.

• Unique and pleasant culture; we work together towards a common goal in which we deliver value to the logistics community. You will be able to recognize these values in everything we do, including our collaboration.

• 26 vacation days; and the option to purchase additional days.

• Necessary tools and good secondary conditions; laptop, phone, travel expense reimbursement, good pension scheme, etc.

• A competitive annual salary; including a 13th month.

We operate as both an IT company and as a logistics service provider. We are both and that makes us strong. We understand the market, the players and their interests. We bring parties together, initiate chain agreements and collaborate on solutions that make Dutch ports and their supply chains attractive for companies that want to transport goods across Europe.

We listen carefully to all parties in the logistics chain. From shipping company to terminal, from driver to customs officer: all links in the chain have their own challenge. We therefore work for the entire port community. We help them operate more efficiently and effectively by simply processing 140 million transactions per year on time through 40 different services.

Portbase has been around for over 20 years and we are proud of that. What once started with the assignment to digitize paperwork has grown into one of the most progressive Port Community Systems in the world and a connecting factor between all port partners.

In the future, we will continue to take the lead in developing chain-wide digital solutions to make integrated services simpler and safer. If there's one thing we've learned in the past 21 years, it's that we can't stand still. As a port community we are on the move. Literal.

With this vacancy we are recruiting our new colleague ourselves. If we are unable to do this, we will take the step of hiring an agency to help us with this. We therefore do not appreciate acquisition. We are not open to self-employed or temporary employment for this vacancy.
