We usually respond within a day
We believe that personalisation is the key to creating unique and meaningful gifts. It is therefore our aim to create as many as 40,000 personalised gifts every day, contributing to our motto: Spread a little happiness around the world! We are about to innovate the way we deal with personalisation. Both the way it works for the customer on the website, and the way we deal with it internally. Everything is being revamped. Does this sound like a cool project for you to work on? Then read on!
What will you do?
You will work with a project team consisting of developers, a UX designer and a product owner to optimize and revamp YourSurprise's personalisation experience.
The challenge here is in the complexity of personalisation. How do you make it as simple as possible for the customer to personalize a product, while at the same time offering as many configuration options as possible when storing and processing it into a gift? Together with the team, you explore the different options and techniques. What role does 3D play? What personalisation options are there? And how can we make these changes without the customer noticing?
Who are you?
You are an inquisitive and motivated developer with at least an HBO working and thinking level and at least 5 years of demonstrable experience in Software Development. Also important is:
You have experience writing easily readable and maintainable code with PHP or TypeScript;
You are capable of (unit) testing and static analysis of this code;
You are good at structuring complex projects;
You have experience with Cloud services, such as Google Cloud;
You are able to develop APIs that can be used in multiple places;
You enjoy thinking about technical solutions to further improve business processes;
You consider User Experience an important part of the applications you build;
We welcome applications from expats, however, it's important to note that all candidates who are not out of the Schengenzone are required to provide all necessary documents to legally work in the Netherlands. Please note that we do not provide sponsorship for work visas or residence permits, at this moment.
What do we have to offer you?
At YourSurprise, you choose your own laptop: Macbook Pro or Dell with Linux;
No whining about being billable or making sure you spend every hour on a project of a customer who doesn't actually want to pay for the upgrade from PHP 7 to 8.
A unique team spirit: we organise our own hackathons, LAN parties, Meet-Ups (https://www.meetup.com/yoursurprise/);
The opportunity to attend an annual (international) tech conference and we organise fantastic Friday afternoon drinks and team outings;
The opportunity to spend a free afternoon once every fortnight working on your own development.
In addition, we offer you:
A nice salary appropriate within a competitive market, with profit sharing;
Travel reimbursement for both car and public transport;
A collective pension scheme, for your old age;
25 holidays (based on 40 hours) and 8% of your gross annual salary as holiday allowance;
Delicious lunch (for a small fee) and a full fruit basket every day;
Access to Open Up, a platform which provides professional guidance on mental and vital issues;
Infinite cuddles from one of our office dogs;
A YourSurprise sports club, cool parties, cosy Friday afternoon drinks and the annual legendary weekend away with the whole company. All on a voluntary basis, of course.
Do you want to shine on your new bike? Going by bike is good for your health and the environment. That is why, as YourSurpriser, you can make use of a bicycle plan: 'Lease a Bike'.

What we do
You may already know that we create personalised gifts, but we do much more than that. Giving and receiving gifts isn't just about the gift itself, but about the message behind it. The feeling. It's the thought that counts. All of this, along with the timing of the gifting moment are what makes it so special for the recipient.
We help our customers to create these special moments. We use our (social media) channels and websites to give people ideas. We offer online tools to bring those ideas to life quickly and easily. And we're here for them, even if things go wrong.
