Within those themes, you have the autonomy to identify problems, shape the work, and decide how to move it forward. This requires you to be comfortable with ambiguity and open collaboration rather than fully specified tasks. We work hybrid, with regular time together in Groenlo. AI-assisted development is part of our day-to-day workflow, supporting implementation, testing, and exploration while technical judgment remains with the team.

You do not simply take a request at face value: you ask questions, challenge assumptions, and look for the problem behind the problem. You are comfortable discussing different perspectives, explaining your reasoning, and constructively challenging others when you believe there is a better way forward. At the same time, you know when to move from discussion to action and help turn ideas into practical next steps.

Familiarity with Web Components, Lit, TypeScript, Vue, Vite, Storybook, design tokens and theming, open-source or shared contribution models, and CI/CD, release processes, and versioning is a plus. We care more about your understanding of the web platform and your ability to reason about long-term product quality than whether you already know our exact technology stack. Accessibility is a fundamental part of frontend quality for us. You do not need to be an accessibility specialist, but we do expect you to take it seriously and be willing to develop your knowledge further. Good to know: You are available for 32–38 hours per week. Hybrid (remote) working is common practice at Nedap, and you will coordinate your working hours with your team to ensure a good work-life balance. Ideally, you will be present at our campus in Groenlo at least twice a week. You are a pragmatic team player who likes to think things through together.
