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

As a Junior Developer at SmartSpotter, you won't just be coding — you’ll be learning, contributing, and growing in a fast-paced, real-world environment. You’ll help thousands of Spotters and clients across multiple countries rely on our fast, reliable, and user-friendly software.

From the very beginning, you’ll be encouraged — and expected — to:

• Proactively contribute to the development of our software and new features.
• Bring fresh ideas and new perspectives to how we improve our products.
• Work closely with our commercial and operational teams to create real impact.
• Help optimize our development processes, with a focus on quality and speed.

You’ll be part of an experienced team that will mentor and support you, but you’ll also have the freedom to take initiative and make your mark.

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.

Who are we looking for?

• You have experience building web applications, whether from personal projects, bootcamps, or Computer Science/IT courses.
• You are ambitious, eager to learn, and take a creative and entrepreneurial approach to your work.
• Familiarity with Git, Linux, SQL, JavaScript, and React is a plus.
• You recognize yourself in our core values: Accessibility, Pragmatism, Thoroughness, and Breaking down barriers.
• You live in the Netherlands.
