DataChef Hiring Pipeline

📍Location: Hybrid in the Netherlands

What you’ll do

Lead and provide technical guidance to a team of software engineers.

Define cloud-native and/or microservices architectures.

Develop key business applications.

Play a crucial role in automating manual business processes.

Together with a few other chefs, you’ll help our clients to build and productionize products. As an autonomous stream-aligned team, you might deal with a wide spectrum of Data, Cloud Infrastructure and DevOps-related problems.

Your default will be delivering a timely and tangible output. Simple, interpretable, impactful, and straightforward workflows are your main weapons. That however doesn’t hinder you from using complex tools when the situation demands it.

You’ll help with interviewing and selecting future chefs. We’ll train you on how to conduct effective, chef-style interviews!

Actively share knowledge with your team and learn from their expertise in return.

You’ll have a secondary focus area (select one), based on your passion and career plans:

⚒️ Tool developer: love coding? help us make our recipes!
✏️ Content developer: if you enjoy writing and sharing what we learned.
🍼 Baby-Chef developer: if you like to be a mentor at our
BootCamps Home for future chefs!

What you’ll bring

Extensive programming experience across multiple paradigms, including object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming. Proficiency in Python is essential, as it is the primary language for most of our projects.

Skills in infrastructure as code using tools like Terraform, CDK, or Pulumi. If you prefer connecting to production systems via SSH and enjoy using bash, this role might not be the best fit.

Experience in technical data modeling and strategic domain modeling, with a strong emphasis on Domain-Driven Design (DDD), which is highly valued at DataChef.

Strong expertise in Python and Go.

Experience with React.

Experience with cloud platforms, preferably Azure.

In-depth knowledge of software design practices and architecture.

At least 5+ years of relevant industry experience

Motivated by client problems, and find joy in creating simple, elegant solutions that avoid unnecessary complexity.

Moving off any solution before asking questions, listening actively, exploring the context, and simply building trust with clients.

Always putting usefulness and adaptability above solving imaginary scaling issues.

Passion for simplifying and clearly explaining complex topics in person and in writing.

Excellent English communication skills, both written and verbal.

We’d love you to have (extra nice)

Experience with Kafka.

Experience with .NET and C#

Experience in large-scale enterprise IT environments.

Contributions to open-source projects. We appreciate those green dots on GitHub!

Solid computer science knowledge. Have you designed an $O(n)$ sorting algorithm?! Send us your cocktail recipe (we don’t need your resume).

What you’ll get

🛫 25 paid vacation days.

💸 Competitive salary with full transparency on how we calculate it.

💰 Annual bonus based on your individual and company performance.

💶 Reimbursement of your home internet bill, commute to work, and software license costs. No red tape, no questions asked.

💻 Apple MacBook Pro laptop.

🏖 One week paid reunion retreat. Every year, we get together at a cool leisure destination. Last year, we were on a boat in Turkey.

💝 Charitable gift and donation matching. When you donate to a qualified charity, we’ll match your gift (up to €500/chef/year).

🎓 Wanna learn cooking like Gordon Ramsay or DJing from Armin van Buuren? You’ll have access to MasterClass! Plus, we’ve got lots of on-demand, e-, and non-e-training.

🤰 Fully paid and extended maternity/paternity leave for the first nine weeks.

🎁 Holiday gifts. At the end of the year, we send everyone and their family a surprise thank-you gift.
