Role Purpose

As a Mendix Software Engineer at Hydro, you will become part of a young and dynamic team. We are an international group of seven developers who highly value collaboration, integrity, and fostering a warm, open working environment.

Our team is small enough to maintain close, personal connections with everyone, yet large enough to make a meaningful impact by optimizing business processes across the organization.
We are looking for a motivated colleague who enjoys taking on new challenges and coming up with creative solutions. Within our diverse application landscape—ranging from shop floor operations to finance and logistics—you will work on a wide variety of tasks, offering both depth and breadth in your role.

We provide an environment where you are encouraged to share your ideas and contribute to innovative projects. We place strong emphasis on personal development and offer opportunities for growth.
You will collaborate closely with multiple departments, gaining broad insight into our business processes. This role is not only technically challenging but also strategically important. In addition, you will have the opportunity to participate in international projects and work with colleagues from around the world.

In short, if you are looking for a role where you can apply both your technical expertise and creativity—and truly make an impact—this position is for you. We look forward to welcoming you to our team.

What you will be doing

  • Design, develop, and maintain applications using the Mendix platform
  • Take technical ownership of one of our flagship applications
  • Collaborate with product owners, business analysts and stakeholders to gather and analyze requirements
  • Translate business requirements into technical specifications and solutions
  • Ensure the quality and performance of applications through testing and debugging
  • Troubleshoot and resolve application issues in a timely manner
  • Document application designs, processes, and technical specifications
  • Participate in code reviews and provide feedback to peers
  • Contribute to Hydro’s internal Mendix Framework by improving and upholding best practices

What will make you successful?

  • 2–3+ years of experience in software development, with proven hands-on experience working with the Mendix platform
  • Solid understanding of the software development lifecycle, development standards, and best practices
  • Experience working in Agile development environments
  • Experience in an international or multi-cultural corporate environment is an advantage
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Business & IT, or a related field
  • Mendix Advanced certification, or the willingness and motivation to obtain it in the near future
  • Knowledge of cloud technologies, such as Microsoft Azure and Mendix Cloud
  • Familiarity with Java, JavaScript, HTML/CSS, or other relevant programming languages is a plus
  • Strong technical skills in application development, support, and maintenance
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Strong organizational skills and the ability to manage priorities effectively
  • Ability to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills
  • Fluent in English and Dutch

What we offer you

  • Working at the world’s only fully integrated aluminum and leading renewable energy company
  • Diverse, global teams
  • Flexible work environment/home office
  • We provide you the freedom to be creative and to learn from experts
  • Possibility to grow with the company, gain new certificates
