Role description

As a Full Stack Developer you will play a crucial role in the development of our cloud-based vending platform. We are redefining vending machines and We need a Developer with knowledge of Laravel and AWS to take ownership of software development.

You will be responsible for building and optimizing our backend systems, ensuring smooth communication between our vending machines and cloud services. Working closely with our external development partners, you will gradually take ownership of the software and help us scale our technology in-house. Your mission: enhance our software architecture, build new features, and contribute to a scalable, future-proof platform that enables Junea’s growth from 1,000 machines to many, many more.

What do your responsibilities look like?

• Developing and optimizing the Laravel-based backend, improving performance, stability, and scalability.
• Implementing new features for machine-to-cloud communication and improving backend logic for our vending solutions.
• Working closely with external development partners during the transition to in-house development.
• Ensuring clean, maintainable, and well-documented code following structured release and Git workflows.
• Collaborating with stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable software solutions.
• Optimizing database performance and AWS-hosted services, improving response times and reducing latency.

About Us

The world is changing. Automation (and certainly AI) is and will become the norm, and traditional sales models are under pressure. There are fewer and fewer people available to work in stores, canteens, hotels and other sales locations. Software, AI and data-driven sales – and personal digital advice – are becoming increasingly important. We saw this shift and knew: this is where the future lies.

With this vision, we started Junea in 2019. Our goal? To reinvent the vending world. Smarter, more efficient and more beautiful than ever. Our vending machines are not only smart, but also a statement. Sleek, well-thought-out and iconic. But a beautiful product does not make a company.

In recent years, we have worked hard to turn that idea into a solid, fast-growing organization. We succeeded. Junea is growing rapidly. Every week we install new smart vending machines in the Netherlands and our customers are extremely enthusiastic.

Our ambition?

✓ First market leader in the Netherlands – We want to be in every corner of every company.

✓ Then we conquer Europe – Step by step, with maximum energy.

✓ And then? The world is your oyster, because we dream big.

• You are willing to work in the office with your team in Woerden 2-3 times a week
• Some knowledge of Vue.js or modern frontend frameworks is a plus.
