Are you a full stack or front end developer who enjoys building high-quality software and helping teams grow and perform at their best? Do you like combining hands-on technical work with coaching, continuous improvement, and guiding a team’s collaboration and performance? Then this hybrid role might be perfect for you.
Full-time · Enschede
As a Development Team lead you’ll combine hands-on development with team coaching to make a real impact. You’ll work with up to 10 team members—including developers, testers, an information analyst, and a product owner—helping them achieve goals, improve ways of working, and grow both individually and as a team.
Collaborating closely with the Development Manager and other Team leads, you’ll ensure alignment across teams and create the conditions for top performance in our cloud-native SaaS environment. We’re looking for a skilled full stack or frontend developer (e.g., React) who’s as passionate about coaching and collaboration as they are about building great software.
