Who do we look
for
Are you an aspiring software
engineer or developer? Want to work with us to create exciting new
applications that make the web better? If you need some course credits
as work experience or want to work on a real project over that study
break contact us for a chat, or pitch us the project that you have been
dreaming of realizing - especially if it can be built using our stack.
What
technologies do we use?
Our backend consists of reusable
and understandable microservices, integrated by a single page app. You
don’t need to know any of the following, but knowing some is
appreciated. We will guide you and provide you with time to learn.
Technologies we use daily are:
- • JavaScript (frontend with EmberJS, backend with NodeJS),
Ruby, Docker, SPARQL & Linked Data
- • Git, Linux (and a little bit of Mac), Emacs, Inkscape, the
coffee corner
Other technologies we make use of:
- • Elixir, Common Lisp, Python, Scala, Bash.
Open source examples on github are: lblod, mu-semtech, redpencilio, nvdk,
cecemel, erikap, madnificent.
What is ‘a
better web’?
The web is one of the most
important inventions of all time. It is important that it stays open and
accessible to everybody. Today, the major tech companies and some
governments are closing off parts of the web and making it difficult for
smaller actors to compete in other areas. Many of them combine their
immense power with a predatory approach to how they handle user data and
privacy.
They are creating a ‘web of walls’.
The web should instead be an open and safe arena, a public good. As a
company, we believe we can change the web by being careful in what
technologies we use and what actors we cooperate with. By committing to
open standards, Open Source and semantic technologies, and collaborating
with like-minded actors we can help bring about the web we want.
We can not do this without young, inspired thinkers like you.
