Experience a culture like no other at Mendix
 
We value the start-up culture that has brought us so much success. We are a tech company, not a project-oriented organisation. You have been in software product development long enough to understand what makes your colleagues tick. How to contribute to an environment where there are as few impediments as possible to get stuff done. And you know how to strike a balance between the individual's and team's needs and the objectives that we jointly will achieve. 
 
We have a culture where we’re focused on results – not “boxes” and “rules”. We also have a relaxed environment with the coolest office in the Netherlands + great view of the Erasmusbrug.
 
People take ownership and enjoy as much freedom as possible. This means there’s as little process as we can get away with, because we don't want to get in your way. We also strive to stay as flat as possible. Do you have an issue? Walk right into our CTO's office and bring it up.
 
Everyone is appreciated for their skills and ideas, regardless of background or mother tongue. Where you have the flexibility to take care of a family member.
 
We have monthly crafting days that allow you to explore side projects or try out cool new technologies and share our experiences with the rest of the organisation.
 

Working for Mendix and with our Customers means your reliability has to be beyond any doubt, and therefore every employment is subject to an onboarding screening and the condition precedent a Certificate of Conduct is provided that demonstrates you did not commit any offences that are relevant to the performance of your function.
