SmartSpotter was founded in 2012 out of frustration with the lack of transparency in agreements between retailers and suppliers. We offer technical solutions to measure compliance of these agreements and facilitate an open dialogue of their results. We have a respectable number of well-known brands and retailers amongst our customers and continue to grow both within and outside of the Netherlands.

We started out crowdsourcing information from shop floors: thousands of Spotters make money collecting data for our clients using their smartphones. But our product portfolio is expanding. Using our expertise and experience, anything that we can develop that improves compliance of agreements within retail is considered worthy of investigating further.

We are currently based in Naarden but will move to either Hilversum or Amsterdam within the next few months.

What we offer?

• A technically challenging role within a small but steadily growing team.
• The opportunity to build software that is used by major brands and retailers.
• Full freedom for your ideas, initiatives, and entrepreneurial spirit.
• A competitive salary and a laptop for full-time employment.
• A flexible and profitable scale-up environment with a proven business model.

Your Impact as a Developer

At SmartSpotter, being a Developer means more than just writing code. You’ll ensure that thousands of Spotters and our international clients can rely on fast, user-friendly, and stable software. Working closely with our commercial and operational teams, you’ll have a direct influence on the strategic direction of our company.

From day one, you’ll be encouraged — and expected — to:

• Take ownership and propose new products and innovations.
• Collaborate on how we can serve our clients even better.
• Critically assess and improve our development processes.
• Explore new markets through your technical solutions.

In short: you’re not just a builder — you’re also a creator and strategist.

Our Technology stack:

Our primary stack is Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and React. We also develop our native mobile apps (iOS & Android) fully in-house. Experience with web frameworks similar to Rails is required; experience with Rails and native app development is a strong plus.
