About the Position

This is an entry-level position where you’ll be supported by the team. They will guide, mentor and work alongside you. You’ll be responsible for developing PWA apps, building mobile responsive websites and tech admin. You’ll update, secure, create, test, learn, optimize and get the results that matter most for Clients. This requires your curious mind to ask questions and find answers to implement.

• Programming code for projects in games, AR or app development
• Used Docker for the deployment of applications (or alternatives such as Kubernetes, Virtual Box)
• Experience using a cloud-computing platform (such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud)

About You

As a global citizen you embrace the many different cultures that exist around the world, respect the differences that make everyone unique and curiously participate in new experiences to expand your own world. You enjoy being part of a team and also having the independence of working solo on your own tasks and projects.

You become motivated and inspired when faced with something new or challenging, and willingly ask for feedback so that you can gain ever-greater skills, understanding and expertise. You enjoy learning and also sharing what you learn with others, which makes you comfortable with asking others for assistance when you get stuck.
