Full-time (32hrs) • Amsterdam - Hybrid

Homerun is the people-first hiring tool designed for SMBs.

We’re a small business too – just 15 people in total. We do things our own way — or what we believe is the right way — which has earned us labels like "unpredictable" and "weird" which we wear proudly.

We believe SMBs are some of the most interesting and meaningful places to work. What they lack in size, they make up for with creativity, purpose and culture. For these companies, we've built a modern hiring platform that reflects their uniqueness.

Our product allows teams to keep track of candidates, review applications together, keep candidates in the loop and plan interviews all from one organized app. So no more ping-ponging between emails, CVs and spreadsheets.

Homerun also helps companies showcase their unique brand & culture with customizable job posts, career pages and candidate-friendly application forms.

Homerun is hugely successful in The Netherlands and now it's time to let the entire world know we exist.

We're looking for a curious and product-driven engineer to join the product team and help evolve, design and strengthen the Homerun product experience.

Your work varies day-to-day. You'll be responsible for the design, implementation, and maintenance of features for our main product. One day you'll work on building a real-time notifications system and the next day you'll be refining our existing state management in Vue.js to make it easier to work with.

You write elegant code that others can easily understand. You also don't shy away from explaining your design pattern choices to co-engineers so that everyone can learn from it.

You're also continuously improving the UX and you have a keen eye for design. You feel comfortable taking responsibility for any step in the product development cycle. Waiting to be told what to do is not your style.

We are a small team, where communication, teamwork, and camaraderie are a must to build a successful product. We are looking for a full stack engineer, with special focus on the frontend side, with the necessary skills to create modern components but also design the best structure to store our customers' precious data.

Even though we are heavy users of Laravel and Vue.js frameworks, we prefer to work with people that understand that tools are just tools, not the main goal. Pragmatic solutions are preferred over following a dogma.

Curiosity is king. We want you to be independent and positive, a problem seeker, and a problem solver. You're an all-rounder with a small ego who values free time outside work just as much as work itself.

• Experience developing web application in publicly available production environments and experience working on large SPAs. Having expertise in Vue.js and Laravel is a big plus.

• You know how to write clean, readable, reusable, and scalable code preferably in PHP and JavaScript. Automated testing is part of your daily toolbox.

• You're not afraid on working with complex systems. In fact, we expect you to have experience developing relatively big applications.

• Experience working in a multidisciplinary team with designers, product managers and other engineers.

• Bonus points if you know a thing or two about AWS and infrastructure.

Most of the problems we're solving today with Homerun did not exist a year ago. That's why we value a pro-active attitude above any other skills or experience.

Laravel, Vue ecosystem, Webpack, Redis, MySQL, ElasticSearch, AWS, Terraform, Pusher, and SendGrid are the most important bits of our stack.

Don't take us wrong: we're not married to any of these technologies. Even better: we would be more than happy to get your expert opinion on what technologies are more fitting for our unique use-cases. That's why we're working on replacing our AngularJS code with Vue.js, for example.

We believe that a balanced mind and body is what matters most. That's why, alongside a competitive salary, we're also offering a range of perks and benefits that allow you to take care of your mental and physical health, work-life balance and personal growth.

You're curious and open minded 🤔 - you want to get to know the product, and the Homerun team. There are a lot of users and team members, all with a their own story and you'd love to hear them all.

You're a helpful problem solver 💭 - you like to help others and you're good at thinking in solutions. You also don't shy away from a problem, but gladly tackle it with positivity and action.

You're a people person 💬 - who's not shy about video calls or in-person meetings.
You're a team player 🤝 - you like to work with others and are comfortable working in a small team, but you also know how to work on your own.

You're positive and confident 😃 - you have a positive attitude, you like life the sunny side up, your glass is half full and you're not afraid to tell nay-sayers.

You're fluent in written and spoken English 🗣️ - we're an international team with international users so we generally speak and write in English.

You're a strong communicator and very precise ✍️ - you have excellent communication skills both written an verbal.

Internally, we are committed to working on DE&I initiatives (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) across all teams.
