We have a passion for technology. We get excited about solving new challenges through an elegant approach with tech solutions that best fits the demand. We do this in multidisciplinary teams working for long-term, mostly international customers.
About the role
The products we deliver are built using cloud-native technology. We use a mix of serverless and container orchestration platforms to run our nodejs-based backend services.
The backend services range from integrations with SaaS products (commercetools, Contentstack or Contentful), external systems such as payment providers and ERP systems to federated GraphQL solutions to access data in a consistent way.
We are committed to delivering sustainable and high quality software. This includes working with TypeScript and writing extensive unit and integration tests. We also have a strong focus on code reusability within projects but also across projects.
The work takes place in sprints of 2 to 3 weeks, in which the teams from Lab Digital consist of for example a number of developers, (UX) designers, QA specialists, business analyst, solution architect, scrum master and project manager. Within this team you can then take responsibility to deliver high quality software together with the team and the client.
Responsibilities
As a Senior JavaScript engineer you work with your team to realise technical solutions that fit the demand. You will also bring substantial features independently from concept to production. This means that you are responsible for, among other things:

- Good knowledge of modern software development techniques (unit/integration testing, ci/cd pipelines, etc).
- Experience running NodeJS applications on containerized (Docker/Kubernetes) and/or serverless (Lambda) functions.
- Communicatively strong in word and writing (and thus able to deliver technical documentation, for example)
Nice to have
- Experience with event driven software architecture and messaging queues such as SQS, Kafka, RabbitMQ
- Knowledge of AWS/Azure and infrastructure as code principles (Terraform)
- Experience writing applications in the e-commerce domain such as payment solutions, links to ERP and order systems, etc.
