Odido is on a mission to become the most customer-driven telco in the Netherlands. We believe technology only matters when it serves people; when systems work, people can work, and customers get helped better. That’s why we build with care and intent: Human in how we collaborate, Optimistic about what we can improve, and Forward-thinking in the choices we make for tomorrow.
Role Scope
As a Senior Software Engineer Integration within our Engineering API team, you bring your passion for technology, problem-solving mindset, and technical expertise to deliver scalable and impactful integration solutions. You thrive in a data-driven environment, collaborate effortlessly across teams, and enjoy mentoring others while continuously learning and adapting. You’ll work on critical systems that power the backbone of our operations, with the freedom to apply innovative thinking and shape how platforms connect.
In this role, you take technical ownership of the systems that enable number portability and orchestration, interfacing with Odido’s core network systems. Your work spans the full application lifecycle: from influencing solution design and test strategy, to ensuring high availability in business-critical services. You’ll contribute across multiple projects involving vendors and a wide range of stakeholders, and you’ll be a steady communicator who aligns priorities and expectations across all levels. Alongside delivery, you help raise the bar in the team by mentoring and coaching others and actively driving upskilling initiatives.
Responsibilities
-
Technical ownership and application lifecycle management of number porting and orchestration systems interfacing with Odido core network systems
- Key technical contributor across projects involving vendors and multiple organizational stakeholders
- Influence and enhance technology direction through internal and external collaboration
- Provide input into solution design, operations, test strategy, and technical decisions
- Ensure delivery of high-availability, business-critical systems
- Proactively communicate with stakeholders at all levels to align priorities and expectations

About the Team
You’ll join our Engineering API team in IT, working in a data-driven environment where collaboration across teams is essential. The team values learning, knowledge-sharing, and building integration solutions that reliably power core operational flows.
At Odido, we believe in people (no mass-apply AI bots)
We personally review every application. No keyword filters, no automated decisions.
That’s why we ask you to briefly share why this specific role at Odido fits your experience and ambition. Briefly is short and real, not your admiration towards Odido but to the role and your skillset.
If it’s a match, we’ll notice. We do not hire your AI… (yet)
We want to become the most human-centred telecom provider in the Netherlands. That might sound odd from an IT or network role, but that's exactly where it starts. Because without stable systems, a reliable network and smart technology there's no conversation, no connection, no trust. You make sure everything runs, even when nobody notices. And that's precisely the point. Even if the customer doesn't see you, your impact is felt in every conversation, every connection and every moment it just works. Because when the technology is solid, people can work, customers can be helped, and trust is built.
At Odido we're there for each other. We see each other's talents. We listen and always look at what's possible, technically, personally and in the way we work together. Because you're at your best when you can grow, Odido gives you all the space you need for that. Together we look at where your ambition and talent lie and make sure you get the opportunities to grow in your own way, whether that's deeper technical specialisation, a broader architect role, or a step towards tech leadership.
At Odido, you build and manage critical infrastructure at a national scale; ensuring reliability, performance, and security for millions of customers. You work on technology that truly matters, with a direct impact on how our network and IT services perform every day.
In return, we offer a competitive salary and a well-balanced total rewards package, including:
-
A role-based bonus aligned with your performance;
-
30 days of annual leave (full-time), plus an extra day off after Ascension Day;
-
Hybrid working model: 3 days in the office and 2 days from home;
-
A €350 voucher to choose your own mobile phone; yours to keep;
-
A personal learning budget and access to more than 200 training courses;
-
A solid pension plan through Zwitserleven;
-
Discounts on your Odido Internet & TV or Klik & Klaar subscription;
-
A bike lease scheme for sustainable commuting;
-
Employer contribution to your gym membership;
-
Access to a wide range of discounts on products and services.
We work together to deliver stable, scalable, and future-proof technology; and we celebrate the impact we make.
In short: you build what keeps us running, your work is visible, and you’re supported to keep growing.
Some things you cannot learn at university, you possess them by nature. You bring empathy in how you work with others, structured thinking when integrations get complex, authenticity in how you communicate, calm decision making under pressure, and a natural drive to collaborate and help others grow.

Location & Working Model
You must already live in the Netherlands, preferably within ~30 km of The Hague, and you’ll work at least 3 days per week from our Den Haag office. Candidates applying from abroad will not be reviewed.
Even though we have many different colleagues, we look for a few typical Odido traits in every new team member. You need to be able to handle a changing organisation. The world of communications changes every day, and we need to grow along with it. Being naturally curious and interested in the technology we work with and the industry we're in helps enormously.
