This is what you will do

As a Mendix Developer with an affinity for frontend development, you set the standard and help the decentralized teams get the most out of the Low Code platform, where the principle applies: Develop super fast, but always in line with Defense-wide standards and agreements.

Working at the Ministry of Defence, but not as a military member?

If you choose a job at Defence, you choose socially relevant work. You truly contribute to a secure Netherlands. In addition to 44,500 professional military personnel and 8,500 reservists, approximately 26,500 civilians also work at Defence. You will work at the Materiel and IT Command (COMMIT). COMMIT strives to support colleagues at home and abroad as effectively as possible: with the best materiel, the best supplies, and the best IT. This allows them to continue performing their tasks as effectively and efficiently as possible.

Decentralized application development for and by the Defence components is becoming increasingly important for the Ministry of Defence. Within a community, there is collaboration and building on the low code platform Mendix. Centrally, this community is supported by the Low Code Enablement team. We are looking for a talented Senior Mendix Developer to strengthen this dynamic, growing team.

Together with your teammates, you are responsible for the maintenance and further development of the low code platform. Your focus will be on ensuring the substantive quality and consistency within the Defense-wide low code platform and component library. You will develop and maintain central, reusable components and ensure that the various (yet to be) developed functionalities seamlessly integrate with the rest of the platform. You will contribute to the continuous improvement process of the decentralized development teams by sharing knowledge and best practices in the field of application development in Mendix. You may be called upon to advise on technical questions and integration patterns. In short, you will take the lead within the Enablement team when it comes to technical and application architecture issues.

This is what we ask

You are a professional in the field of Mendix, know the ins and outs of the low code platform, and have a vision for the deployment of Mendix technology. You are open to change and have the drive to continuously improve our Low Code development pipeline. In this, you show initiative to tackle practical matters and coordinate independently. You can work with great concentration and build maintainable applications and modules. You also enjoy discussing technology and solutions with your colleagues in the field of Low Code, and coaching other colleagues with your knowledge and experience.
