Product Engineer - Dutch-speaking

Tech Team and Technical Stack

We are building the infrastructure and interfaces necessary to optimize the main processes of road freight transport. Currently, the tech team consists of 40 people; you will have a significant impact on the evolution of the company and the product! The product is divided into three parts: the API, the mobile app, and the web app. The apps are developed in React/React-Native. The API is developed in Python/Django with Django Rest Framework, uses PostgreSQL, and is hosted on Google Cloud. Our product is very wide with a lot of features, and we have to work hard to keep it as simple and user friendly as possible and at the same time easy to develop and maintain.

How we work

We use the Shape Up method to organize the teams. Our timeline is organized in 8-week cycles consisting of 6 weeks of feature development followed by 2 weeks of cooldown where the tech team can focus on refactoring, bug fixing, performance improvements. You can read more about it on our tech blog. We operate with continuous deployment (Github/Github Actions) and release new product enhancements every day, with feature flags to ensure smooth delivery.
