Who are we

Automotive Mediaventions consists of three brands: AutoTrack, Gaspedaal & Autowereld. We list thousands of dealers and hundreds of thousands of cars on these platforms.

Our stack: Scala, Java, Play, Axon, SQS, PHP, Javascript, Kubernetes, Elasticsearch, MongoDB, AWS.

Our teams are dedicated to building high-quality automotive websites with the purpose of helping millions of people find their next car every month. We list thousands of dealers and hundreds of thousands of cars on our platforms, and we work in a high-performance, high-availability scenario where quality takes priority over speed.

The job 

We are currently replacing parts of our main application with microservices while we keep serving over 12 million page views a month. You will help us by figuring out how we can continue to deliver value while replacing small parts of our applications incrementally. You will also contribute to a modern distributed microservices system architecture, building services for high volume traffic and working with lots of data. Your main focus is:

• Applying knowledge of software engineering, as well as coding best practices that minimise tech and architecture debt;
• Architecting, designing, developing, deploying and operating services that serve millions of users in a DevOps manner;
• Continuously search for the most efficient way of building software to prove ideas, and know how to harden these successful outcomes into a performant architecture that is scalable.

We offer

• An experience-based salary.
• 12% personal choice budget (of which is 8% holiday allowance).
• Participating in profit every year.
• 36-hour working week.
• Over 350 training opportunities in our own academy. We also pay for your training that isn't in our academy. If you'd like to become TOGAF certified, we'd be happy to offer you this.
• Does a physical newspaper or magazine on your doormat make you happy? We offer you a subscription of your choice!
• We also offer travel allowance, a flexible work allowance and a staff discount for specific options.
• Please see more about our Tech colleagues and what we do here
