Senior Frontend Developer

Company ProfileThis Dutch SaaS company develops software that helps educational institutions, businesses and government organisations manage learning, assessment and professional development. Its products are used to make skills visible, conduct examinations and support people in achieving qualifications.

The organisation has more than 100 employees across four offices in the Netherlands. After building a strong position in the Dutch market, the company is now investing in further professionalisation and international growth across Europe.

You will join a product development team of sixteen people. Frontend developers, backend developers, QA engineers and DevOps engineers work closely with product owners, a Scrum Master and a technical team lead.

The culture is accessible, collaborative and focused on ownership. Developers are given the freedom to make technical decisions, suggest improvements and take responsibility for product quality. Knowledge is also shared through dedicated guilds for frontend, backend, DevOps and development practices.

Job descriptionAs a Senior Frontend Developer, you will work on a complete platform for learning, assessment and examinations. You will build new functionality, maintain existing features and gradually modernise the current frontend.

An important part of the role is transforming legacy code into Vue 3 and TypeScript. This is not simply a maintenance position. You will have the opportunity to introduce modern design patterns, improve the underlying architecture and make structural changes to the way the frontend is built.

You will also collaborate with other product teams on a shared frontend architecture that can be used across multiple SaaS products. This includes thinking about reusable components, technical standards, testing and the long term direction of the frontend environment.

AI is becoming an increasingly important part of the development workflow. The goal is not to use AI only as a coding assistant, but to explore how it can improve the way software is designed, built, reviewed and released. The company is therefore looking for someone who already uses AI tools regularly and can assess new applications critically.

Your responsibilities include:

Developing and maintaining the learning and examination platform

Modernising legacy code using Vue 3 and TypeScript

Improving the frontend architecture with modern design patterns

Contributing to a shared architecture used across multiple SaaS products

Writing and maintaining frontend unit tests

Integrating AI tools into the daily development workflow

Collaborating with product owners, QA, backend and DevOps

Contributing to technical standards and development practices
