Lead Java Developer

The organisation

What do professional sports teams and Fortune 500 companies have in common? They only hire the best. But they have to find ‘em first. Luckily, science has the answer. Now all you have to do is build it.

Tell me more…

Hire for talent, train for skills. It’s a saying as old as the job market, but there’s always been one problem: How can you recognize talent? How can you tell who has the potential to become the next Christiano Ronaldo or Elon Musk?

Neuroscience has the answer. By identifying which qualities set the high-performers apart from the rest and developing games to test for those qualities, this company is turning the traditional recruitment-model upside-down. Pure evidence-based, bias-free, unadulterated science. It’s no longer about fancy degrees or kissing-a**, it’s about true talent. And Machine Learning ;)

The position

That sounds great, how can I help?

By joining their team and taking ownership of the entire platform. It was developed offshore, but now that the product is proven and being adopted by more and more companies and sports teams, it’s time to take it to the next level.

This does mean you will take the Lead of a small Development team that you will develop and expand. You can also rely on the support of the external development team (which will be replaced by Developers that you will hire), and both the product owner and data scientist are there to back you up. Nevertheless, this is your chance to take the lead, build a team, and make your mark. Take your first step towards becoming CTO while shaping the future of an industry.

Tasks & responsibilities

That sounds great, but what does the tech look like?

The platform has been developed using Java on AWS, with a React Front-end. The Machine Learning models have been developed by the Data Scientists using R and everything communicates through REST APIs. All in all, a strong foundation. But there’s plenty more to do. From expanding the API to allow for more integration and real-time dashboarding, to developing more customization options for both employers and candidates.

The offer

Perfect! I’m in, but what does it pay?

They’ll start you off with a base salary of up to 100.000 gross a year and excellent secondary benefits. Of course, the real pay-off is the opportunity to permanently disrupt the HR and sports industry while taking your first step towards becoming CTO. So what are you waiting for? Apply now!
