Technical Consultant

Our growing Professional Services team is looking for a Technical Consultant who are equally at home when it comes to customer communication as to working with web technologies.

Products you’ll be working on

You will be dealing with all of our products aimed at helping our diverse clientele from the recruitment and HR industry. These products range from targeting specific search and match needs (semantics) to unstructured data extraction (CV parsing) and push the boundaries of how we connect employers with candidates today.

Your responsibilities

As a Technical Consultant you’ll be helping our customers integrate our solutions into a diverse range of applications. Seeing the big picture you’ll analyze external systems finding out how our services are best connected, create technical designs and see through implementation. Talking to customers and coordinating a successful delivery is key in your role. You’ll also have to deal with technical troubleshooting, ranging from configuration errors to product issues on both sides. You’ll be joining a diverse, enthusiastic team where agility, problem solving, prioritizing and a high sense of ownership are essential attributes.

Who you are

• A Bsc/Msc graduate in an IT related field. If you bring software engineering or AI knowledge to the table, that is considered a big plus
• You’ve fulfilled a similar role in a business to business context
• You’ve got good technical skills: networking, web technologies (SOAP, REST, APIs, Apache/Tomcat, HTML/Javascript, JSON), Docker, Python, databases (MySQL, Postgresql) and troubleshooting/debugging software
• You are familiar with Linux and command line tools
• If you haven’t developed software before you have at least insight into how applications are built in order to analyze integrations and configurations
• Basic knowledge of Salesforce (objects, field mappings, APEX jobs)
• Fluency in German is a plus

What we offer*

• A fair salary
• A fast growing, motivated, international team that consists of more than 36 nationalities
• 25 days of holiday leave.
• Holiday allowance and participation in a solid pension plan.
• Hybrid working, excellent tools (laptop, software), travel allowance and compensation for your internet costs at home.
• A home office allowance to create a suitable workplace at home.
• A place at our comfortable and brand new office in Amsterdam Noord, with free quality lunches, snacks and drinks: whatever you fancy, our kitchen has it all!
• Participating in our yearly week-long company wide hackathon (Innovation Week) but also joining meet-ups, training courses, scientific conferences and team/company trips.

* This position can be remote. Other benefits may apply.
