We are Futureproofed from Leuven and we build climate-related software. We’re looking for a back-end developer to help us improve our two SaaS products, FutureproofedCities (primarily) and Carboncap; tools that help cities and companies implement useful climate action. Because we believe accelerating to a fossil-free, sustainable future is the biggest opportunity in a century for both cities and businesses.

You’ll become part of our nimble but well-oiled Product Team with enthusiastic developers and data experts, embedded in a growing company with international clients and colleagues. Your input will be appreciated and your contributions will allow our products to scale faster and grow stronger.

Your responsibilities

• Take the lead of FutureproofedCities’s back-end and bring it in line with customers’ requirements.
• Support Carboncap’s coding needs.
• Write modular, testable, and efficient code.
• Discover, plan, write, document and maintain new features.
• Scout for potential improvements and be pragmatic about their implementation.
• Analyse and/or prototype solutions or requirements.
• Work in close tandem with the Product Team members and other colleagues to build a great user experience for our customers.

Your qualifications

• Substantial knowledge of back-end development (PHP, Node.js, SQL, …).
• You understand common software engineering practices (git, unit testing, code documentation, continuous integration, dependency management, monitoring, version management, ...).
• You have a solid grasp on web technologies and API development (JSON, OAuth, ...).
• Good understanding of database design concepts.
• Knowledge of front-end technologies like Vue.js.
• Fluent in English and Dutch. French is a plus.
• 3-4 years of working experience, or similar maturity.

What we offer

• A full-time, permanent contract.
• A competitive salary package with extra (green) mobility benefits.
• A key position that offers a high degree of professional and personal development.
• Flexibility in working hours and location. I.e. remote work is no problem.
• (We do recognise the value in meeting in person, though, so we encourage coming in to the office once a week. Especially since they're so conveniently located, right next to the train station in Leuven.)
• A challenging job with a high degree of autonomy and space for initiative in a growing company.
• A meaningful work experience where you’re actively contributing in making the world a better place.
• A never-ending supply of coffee and tea, accompanied by fresh fruit and cookies.
