As a Software Engineeryou develop, test and implement innovative Java based solutions for our retail platform and back-end processes. How can we port web-based solutions to mobile? How can we integrate the catalogues of external vendors (bol.com Plaza) into the ‘regular’ bol.com catalogue? What tools will enable us to automate the test process? You analyze these questions – often in tandem with business units – and come up with answers that go beyond functional requirements to address performance, scalability (think HBase) and security. You provide proactive go-live support, including organizational embedding (tests, user support, demonstrations). Additionally, you develop tools that further optimize the development process itself, helping us to realize our ambition of making continuous integration a corporate standard. You adhere to best practices, including specification by example, and are regularly asked to share your ideas with the entire organization.
