We're looking for a Lead Developer who builds with purpose and likes to think ahead. You enjoy building sustainable solutions and you get energy from strengthening both the team and the end product. For you, freedom and responsibility go hand in hand.

Growing at Hoppinger

At Hoppinger , growth comes from continuous learning. We test, experiment and make decisions based on what works, in our products, our way of working and how we grow as people. As a Lead Developer, you actively contribute to this mindset by combining technical excellence with curiosity, coaching and a drive for continuous improvement.

About the role

As a Lead Developer, you take shared ownership of the technical quality and delivery of our client projects. You translate ideas and challenges into robust solutions, guide your team through development and take responsibility for what goes live.

• Celebration Leave : swap national holidays for days that matter to you
