Lead Mendix Developer

We kopen geen applicaties meer, we ontwikkelen ze zelf. Onze studenten en collega’s verdienen de best functionerende en moderne apps, die 24-7 veilig werken. Daar kom jij in beeld.

Mooi werk

Op jouw bord ligt de ontwikkeling van apps voor docenten, studenten en medewerkers. En de studenten zijn jouw grootste uitdaging. Zij zijn kritisch en willen de nieuwste technologieën en mobile/native apps. Aan jou de taak om daaraan te voldoen. Dat doe je niet alleen. Je werkt in een scrumteam, samen met een Product Owner, Scrum master, Tester, UX Designer en meerdere collega Developers. Samen brengen jullie concepten en ideeën tot leven in Mendix. Met jouw ervaring vertaal je de behoeftes van de Product Owner naar een Mendix oplossing. Ook voor het opstellen van een user story draai jij je hand niet om.

Nieuwe talenten kunnen rekenen op jouw begeleiding en coaching hierin. Jij zorgt voor een passend opleidingstraject voor junior developers en bent aanspreekpunt voor vragen vanuit jouw Mendix collega’s. 

We hebben een Developersgilde met maar liefst 15 Developers, waarbinnen we kennis en de nieuwste ontwikkelingen delen. We werken met interne en externe medewerkers, ervaren en junior, dus dat is een mooie mix! We werken met een vast team op een vaste locatie aan verschillende projecten. Heb jij een goed idee, dan krijg je de ruimte om dit uit te werken. Ook plezier staat regelmatig op de agenda: met wat tafelvoetbal of een borrel.

Professionele en persoonlijke ontwikkeling en groei staat bij ons hoog in het vaandel. Er is veel ruimte om cursussen en trainingen te volgen zodat jij je verder kan ontwikkelen. 

Omdat we steeds meer apps gaan ontwikkelen zijn we op zoek naar meerdere Mendix developers, zowel op lead, senior en medior niveau.

DevOps Engineer

Mendix is on a mission to enable anyone in any organization – from the marketing coordinator to the software developer to the CEO – to create things that are transformational for their company.  We are fundamentally reinventing the way applications are created and we’re reinventing the future of software development.  Sounds ambitious, right?  We agree.

Not to brag, but nearly 4,000 organizations worldwide, including KLM, Medtronic, Merck, and Philips, rely on Mendix to build web and mobile applications.  Thousands of our customers use our platform to delight their clients and empower their employees. It’s no surprise that we’re a recognized Leader by Gartner and Forrester in a red-hot market expected to exceed $21 billion by 2022.  Ok, maybe we did want to brag a little.  But we’re proud of what we’ve accomplished…and…we’re humble enough to admit that we need you to make us even more effective.

Our team is responsible for the infrastructure, services and CI/CD setup used for Mendix Studio and Mendix Studio Pro product development.

We are looking for a skilled DevOps engineer who has strong practical troubleshooting skills, advanced overall systems knowledge, public clouds, provisioning tools and programming/templating languages.

You’ll help drive digital innovation by:

  • Improving the reliability of our systems and automating common procedures.
  • Developing our CI infrastructure (and the associated services) to improve our release process.
  • Conquering technical challenges by finding innovative solutions. You’ll have the opportunity to harness all your skills to make a difference in your role.

You’re the innovator we need if you have experience with:

  • Advanced troubleshooting skills
  • Low-level knowledge of systems (Linux, GNU tooling), networking (OSI model, DNS, routing) and virtualization vs containerization
  • Programming experience with Bash/Python, templating languages (Jinja/gotemplate) and Git
    High level abstractions for system configuration and management
  • Public clouds; AWS/Azure/GCP (we use AWS)
  • Containerization; Kubernetes, Docker
  • Configuration tools and frameworks (Terraform/Ansible/Helm/)
  • Other things we value are; security awareness, release engineering, CI/CD principles and ideas, and monitoring and alerting

Our Guiding Principles

While we live on different continents, speak different languages, and work on different things, we are bound by our “MendixBlue” guiding principles.  Being “MendixBlue” means that you live the culture, and you consistently improve it as we grow.  It’s kind of a big deal.

We put the customer first.  Without our customers, we have no business.  So, if you act in the best interest of our customers, always…you belong here.

We think big. We work to have a meaningful, lasting impact on the world.  So, if you aim high and think long term…you belong here.

We innovate.  We want to be what happens next.  So, if you ask “what if?” and work to find a way or make one…you belong here. 

We nurture talent.  We look, not just at the sum of what an individual has done, but at the potential of who they can be.  So, if you’re up for learning from your failures…you belong here.

We hear every voice.  Inflated egos don’t last here, humility does.  So, if you share credit and ensure that the best ideas win – regardless of who they come from…you belong here.

We own it.  If something needs doing, we do it. So, if you focus on the outcome, and take initiative to get it done…you belong here.

We have fun.  We use laughter as a common language.  We can ask for help and we’re happy to give it.  So, if you find joy and purpose in what you do…you belong here.

Functioneel beheerder

Met jouw scherpe en innovatieve blik help jij met de optimalisatie, het door ontwikkelen en beheren van de HR-systemen en het verder professionaliseren van HR-managementinformatie. 

 

Mooi werk 

De Avans Ambitie 2025 is vastgesteld, de visie op haar toekomstig onderwijs. Flexibel werken aan het realiseren van klantwaarde en een IV-strategie die dat ondersteunt is één van de belangrijke bouwstenen. HR-systemen en data spelen hierbij een cruciale rol. Vanuit het Avansbrede digitaliseringsprogramma worden verschillende projecten opgepakt. Zo loopt er een aanbesteding voor een nieuw HR-systeem en bouwen we een oplossing voor flexibele arbeid. We maken de beweging om in waardeteams (BusDevOps) te werken aan bruikbare en toegankelijk IT-oplossingen voor onze medewerkers. Deze transitie vindt op dit moment plaats en onze teams geven daar in verschillend tempo invulling aan. Hier zien wij een richting gevende rol voor jou als functioneel beheerder. Je denkt actief mee over de ontwikkeling van nieuwe oplossingen voor onze organisatie. Naast de nieuwe HR-oplossingen werken wij met Youforce, Hireserve en systemen die we in huis ontwikkelen zoals Avans Flexpeople. Het is jouw taak om te zorgen voor optimaal ingerichte en werkende HR-systemen. 

 

Dit doe je door:

In gesprek te gaan met collega’s, zowel binnen als buiten jouw afdeling, en leveranciers. Je achterhaalt de behoefte en leert de organisatie en werkprocessen goed kennen. 
Ontwerpen en realiseren van oplossingen en optimaliseren van bestaande inrichtingen die nog beter aansluiten op de behoefte van de organisatie. Zo ontwikkel je nieuwe (selfservice) workflows en formulieren. 
Te zorgen voor de juiste koppeling met andere systemen. Nadenken over – en het inrichten van – het autorisatieproces speelt daarbij ook een belangrijke rol.
Een bijdrage te leveren aan de verder ontwikkeling en ontsluiting van de gewenste (integrale) managementinformatie. Hier ligt nu een mooie basis en jouw innovatieve ideeën zijn welkom om dit verder uit te bouwen! 

Gezien de vele ontwikkelingen zoeken wij 2 fte functioneel beheerders. Afhankelijk van jouw specifieke ervaring, deskundigheid en ambitie bepalen we samen welke werkzaamheden jij gaat verrichten.

 

Juiste match 

Je ziet logische samenhang tussen de verschillende processen, oplossingen en systeemmogelijkheden en streeft naar de meest optimale dienstverlening voor het onderwijs. Vraaggericht werken en het realiseren van klantwaarde zijn voor jou vanzelfsprekend. Door de juiste vragen te stellen kun jij de processen, systemen en informatiebehoefte met elkaar verbinden. Je gaat proactief en daadkrachtig te werk en je functioneert net zo makkelijk zelfstandig als in een team. Je bent bekend met of nieuwsgierig naar agile werken. 

 

En dan heb je ook nog:

Een hbo-diploma en affiniteit met HR & IT.
Minimaal 3 jaar relevante werkervaring en kennis van HR-processen en -systemen. 
Ervaring in het opleveren van managementinformatie en –rapportages.
Ervaring met Document management systemen.
Excel en het maken van statistische analyses hierin is voor jou gesneden koek.
