Freenom is a disruptive internet company that has pioneered the
"free domain model" and is leading the change in the old-fashioned
domain name industry.
After several years of growth, our first Top Level
Domain Dot TK (a partnership with the country of Tokelau, a tiny island
in the Pacific Ocean), has reached a historical milestone and in March
2014 became the largest country code in the world with over 30 million
active domains. Our story was featured on CNN, BCC, “De Wereld Draait
Door", The Guardian, and many more.
As we seriously scale up the business, we are looking
for new talent to join the team in our office, in the heart of
Amsterdam. We are hiring now:
Senior Software Developers - (36-40 hours/week)
You will be part of a technical team with engineers in
all kinds of Internet related technology. The team is still relatively
small meaning your skills could be useful to any layer of the Freenom
product. Freenom works in an agile environment and is driven by
continuous development.
You are a self-motivated, communicative technologist
that thinks all the things should be automated. You like to apply new
technology, but are not afraid of old concept proven software. You use
the tool you need to get the task done.
Freenom has a substantial codebase that changes
continuously. Our code base consists of Perl, Python and PHP. We are
moving our services to cloud based environments like GAE, Beanstalk or
Heroku to limit the system management hassle.
