About Softwear

We have over 20 years experience in developing web technology for the fashion world. We automate the business processes of our customers, so essentially we make enterprise software. Our development team is a diverse and friendly group of people who are busy with building a modern SaaS platform as well as servicing our existing customers. We are proudly not a startup. Over the last few years we have transitioned our backend and frontend stack to modern web technology standards (HTML5/AngularJS/Python/MongoDB) and have adopted some agile methods. Our Python API/middleware (built with Pyramid) connects all our frontend applications to our database and third-party APIs. It is therefore at the center of our technology stack. We have built a solid foundation for our new modern platform and now the pace of delivering valuable features is picking up. We need to expand our backend team with a Python developer who knows a thing or two about web development and is keen on delivering code that lasts.

We Provide

We are situated near Amsterdam, The Netherlands, where life is relaxed and free, 90% of people hold conversations in English without problems, and where innovation and design are everywhere. Compensation varies with experience and added value (our team provides room to grow). We provide a laptop and benefits like 25 days of vacation per year and pension support. We'd like the candidate to physically be present in our office near Amsterdam (The Netherlands) but for the right candidate, (partly) remote work is possible.
