Software Developers (Nederlandse versie)

SDL Xopus is op zoek naar echte developers!

Xopus is de vriendelijke browser-based “What You See is What You Get” XML editor en wordt wereldwijd dagelijks door duizenden gebruikers ingezet voor het schrijven van gestructureerde documenten. Met gebruik van hardcore JavaScript, intelligente XSL en de betere schema definities verbergen we de achterliggende technische complexiteit voor de eindgebruiker. Met inzicht in de vraag van de klant in plaats van het snelle antwoord zoeken we altijd  naar de beste oplossing en werken we aan een klantgericht eindresultaat. Werken aan Xopus is een uitdaging waarbij we ons richten op simpele en elegante oplossingen voor complexe problemen.

Xopus is volledig geschreven in Javascript. Om dat mogelijk te maken hebben we het Xopus Application Framework ontwikkeld dat voorziet in (multiple) inheritance, class level decoration, event handling, packaging, unit testing en nog veel meer. De Xopus user interface is volledig functional reactive waardoor enkel het hoogst noodzakelijke aangepast wordt als de applicatie state verandert. Onderliggend aan dit functional reactive framework ligt een task scheduler die een pseudo multi threading in Javascript mogelijk maakt. Xopus is een prachtig staaltje software ontwerp en zit vol met dit soort technische juweeltjes.

In ons team van stille programmeurs, praatgrage integrators en testers maken we gebruik van Scrum, waarbij we ieders input waarderen en iedereen verantwoordelijk is voor het resultaat. ’s Middags lunchen we gezellig met het hele team in onze keuken in hartje Den Haag, waar ons kantoor gevestigd is.

Developer:

Daarom zijn we op zoek naar nieuwsgierige, leergierige en intelligente developers met een voorliefde voor mooie code. Je hebt de drive om af te maken waar je aan begonnen bent. Je bent goed in programmeren van bijvoorbeeld C++, .Net, SQL, Java en/of C#. Kennis en ervaring met JavaScript en browser based development is een pre

Senior Developer:

Ook zoeken we ervaren, zelfstandige developers met een licht-ontvlambare passie voor programmeren en de drive om de constante vernieuwing van het web bij te benen. Je hebt diepgaande kennis van JavaScript, bent goed in programmeren met bijvoorbeeld C++, Java en C#. Je bent communicatief vaardig en hebt ervaring met het opleiden van junior developers

Herken jij jezelf verder nog in het volgende?

  • Ervaring met werken in teamverband.
  • Niet bang voor vieze handen. 
  • Kennis van het getal 42.
  • In het bezit van enige humor.
  • Goede kennis van cross-browser development.

Neem dan contact met ons op.

Software Developers (English version)

SDL Xopus is looking for real developers!

Xopus is the friendly browser-based “What You See is What You Get” XML editor and thousands of people all over the world use it to write structured documents every day. With the use of hardcode JavaScript, intelligent XSL, and excellent schema definitions we hide complexity from end users. With the question of the client in mind, rather than a quick answer, we are always looking for the best solution and create an editing environment that suits their needs. Working at Xopus is challenging and requires simple and elegant solutions for complex problems.

Xopus is completely written in Javascript. To make that possible we have developed the Xopus Application Framework which supports (multiple) inheritance, class level decoration, event handling, packaging, unit testing and much more. The Xopus user interface is completely functional reactive to make sure only the necessary parts of the UI are modified when the application state changes. This functional reactive framework is supported by a pseudo multi threading task scheduler. Xopus is a beautiful piece of software engineering and contains many of these technical jewels.

In our team of quiet programmers, talkative integrators and testers we use the Scrum method. Everyone’s input is appreciated and we are all responsible for the final result. In the afternoon we have lunch with the whole team in our kitchen in the heart of Den Haag, where our offices are located.

Junior Developer:

We are looking for curious, inquisitive and intelligent developers with a preference for beautiful code. You have the drive to finish what you start. You are good at programming in C++, .Net, SQL, Java and/or C#. Knowledge and experience with JavaScript and browser based development is highly appreciated.

Senior Developer:

We are also looking for experienced, independent developers with a passion for programming, and the drive to keep up with the constant renewal of the web. You have in depth knowledge and experience with JavaScript and are excellent in programming languages such as C++, Java and C#. You have good communication skills and are an experienced mentor for junior developers.

Do you recognize yourself in the following?

  • Experienced with working in a team
  • Not afraid to get your hands dirty.

Then feel free to contact us.

What does the user experience internship include? Thanks!

Hi John, as an Xopus implementation will get its interface partially from Xopus and partially from the XSL and furthermore depend on the client wishes, it is always interesting to us to do research into improving the user experience of implementations done with Xopus. If you are interested, please send an email to xopussupport@sdl.com for more information.

What sort of background do you need to apply for the Developer internship program? I have only website experience (e.g., http://www.2012survivalsuppliesmarket.com). Also, what universities are involved?

We're looking for Computer Science Master students. Ideally from local (Dutch) universities. Even though we build a web application, our focus is to find good engineers. It is more difficult to learn how to design complex software than it is to learn how a browser works.

Javascript professional

Would you be interested in freelancers?

We're looking for a long term commitment. Both towards our team in terms of training and freedom in projects as well as from the people we hire.

And Xopus is probably unlike anything you have ever seen, so there would be a significant rampup time. That by itself makes it difficult to work with freelancers.
