What'll you do.

As part of the product team you'll be continuously improving Hyro's product features & team processes. Whether this is interactivity in the spaces we create, polishing current features or platform improving performance and reliability; you'll be part of the whole product lifecycle from discovery, delivery to maintenance. For example, you might build a collaboration feature to allow users to work on content together. Or a feature that allows users to configure media used in the spaces as triggers for other content.

You have the possibility to continue to grow your own skills, our team and our product. We are currently a small tight knit team which we plan to expand to multiple teams over the course of the year to continue to deliver value to our users.

What you’ll need.

Pragmatic problem solving - For you, problem-solving starts with a clear and accurate understanding of the context. You can unravel tricky problems and work towards a clean solution, by yourself or with teammates. You're comfortable asking for help when you get stuck.

Backend & architecture familiarity - In your mind you are able to visualise the backend and how systems fit together. From the fundamental data model to the frontend for the users.

You're quick to adapt to technology - To you, technologies and programming languages are all tools that we can apply to our product. You're able to learn new technologies as you go, find real value for users and implement them in ways that enables our business to grow.

Our users come first - Our users are the ones that will become our advocates and are the ones with the most experience using our product. You are critical about the implications of what we're building and understand the impact it has on our user's lives. You can work with others to build and maintain quality user interfaces for a big audience, using Web technologies like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a modern UI framework like React.

Growth mindset: We're growing in more than 1 way. You are eager & able to step outside your comfort-zone to grow your own skills and participate in building a larger team that successfully can deliver a product our users love.

Where you can find us

Our office used to be an old factory. Expect a lot of raw industrial edges that we’ve turned into an inspiring, creative work space - wanna see? You may sometimes trip over some cables, a projector, or a motion capture suit – it's not a mess, it's a reflection of what we do. We've recently doubled the size of this office; but you get the idea.

We’re located right in between Haarlem and Amsterdam. With a train station literally around the corner it’s easy to get to work using public transport. But, if you’re a car person, parking is also not an issue.

Our office.

Our office used to be an old factory. Expect a lot of raw industrial edges that we’ve turned into an inspiring, creative work space – wanna see? You may sometimes trip over some cables, a projector, or a motion capture suit – we consider this part of our eclectic interior design style.

All in all, we’re a simple lot. We believe in continuous learning, rapid iterations, and that creativity is the key to solving real world problems. We don’t believe in unnecessary hierarchy, bureaucracy, or staying in the comfort zone.

Recognize yourself in this? If so, we can’t wait to meet up. And yes, we have a table tennis table and a swing… We know, so cliché – but also kind of chill.
