Job Description

Hi! 👋 We’re The Selection Lab — a fast-growing HR-tech company that helps businesses make better hiring decisions — faster and without bias. We believe AI is the future of recruitment. To further develop our talent selection platform, we’re looking for a Frontend Developer. Someone who loves creating user-friendly interfaces and constantly finds new ways to elevate our platform. With your help, more companies can improve their hiring process using AI and data-driven insights.

“Every day, we work on technology that truly helps companies make better decisions. Together with the team, we solve challenging problems that make a real difference. It’s energizing and rewarding.”
— Rosa van der Heide, Developer

Join Us in Shaping the Future of Recruitment
As our Frontend Developer, you’re responsible for the ‘look and feel’ of our platform. With your expertise in modern frameworks and eye for UI/UX, you’ll ensure a seamless and appealing user experience. You’ll work closely with a multidisciplinary team, translating ideas into creative, concrete solutions that our users will love.

What You’ll Do

• Build scalable, structured frontend code that strengthens our codebase long-term.
• Design and develop intuitive interfaces that help users navigate complex processes in a simple and logical way.
• Collaborate with developers and colleagues from various disciplines to continually improve our features.
• Elevate the codebase – you are the guardian of quality and consistency.
• Grow and innovate: explore new technologies, implement features independently, and propose impactful technical improvements.

What We Offer

• Tech stack: Javascript/Typescript/Svelte (frontend) and Python (backend) – always innovative and challenging.
• Daily impact: your work makes hiring more objective, fair, and inclusive.
• A dynamic office in central Amsterdam – a lively atmosphere with flexibility to work from home too.
• Top-notch gear: a MacBook Pro awaits you (if you want it)!
• Competitive salary (€4000 – €5000 depending on experience + 8% holiday pay) with stock options (SAR).
• Lunch, social events, and team spirit boosters to keep the energy high.
• Extras like boot camps, carbon-offset tree planting, 25 vacation days + 2 additional official holidays to maintain work-life balance.

Does This Sound Like You?

You love writing structured, efficient frontend code and have a keen eye for UI/UX. You enjoy teamwork and take ownership of your work. Innovation and improvement come naturally to you – not only in the code you write but in yourself. You have:

• 2-4 years of experience with frontend development and frameworks like Svelte, React, or Vue.
• An analytical mindset and a detail-oriented approach – nothing escapes your attention.
• Strong communication skills, in both Dutch and English, for collaborating with the team and stakeholders.
• A drive to build technology that makes a difference in recruitment.

Heads-up: We don’t offer visa sponsorship, so please make sure you’re already able to work in the Netherlands before applying.

A Typical Day at The Selection Lab

• 8:00 – 9:00: Start the day with a coffee or tea, setting up your plan for the day while reviewing some PRs or designs.
• 9:15: Daily standup. Join the team to discuss goals and delve into the technical details during the developer stand-up.
• 10:00: Focus time – dive deep into code: work on new features, optimizations, or handle a code review.
• 12:00: Lunchtime! Enjoy a tasty lunch with the whole team (Friday roti has become a thing!).
• 12:30: Code reviews and collaboration – share ideas, plan, give feedback, or work together to improve the codebase.
• 13:30: Second focus block – tackle that challenging piece of code, experiment with new tools, or refine a feature.
• 16:00: Growth & learning: a 1-on-1 to discuss your goals or time to explore a new library.
• 17:30 – …: End the day however you like. Whether it’s with a boot camp, a drink, or one last hour of focus, you choose what energizes you.

Team Atmosphere
You’ll join an open, driven team with colleagues who all share a passion for innovating recruitment. Together, we bring a wide range of expertise: from sales and marketing to data analysis and development. We work from our central Amsterdam office, just steps from Rokin. The atmosphere is energetic, ambitious, and collegial – we celebrate successes together and learn from one another.
