Product Owner | Hosting | Remote

Company's Profile

Our partner is developing a high-quality software platform for the best hosting and cloud services in Europe. They handle the entire software development for over 14 brands, making them the market leader in their industry. Thanks to the products they offer, customers and employees can work in a smart and efficient way. One of the major challenges within this organization is creating a central location for all brands. Each brand uses its own techniques, which need to be transferred, while keeping the products running smoothly, resulting in a piece of legacy software. This project is mainly being undertaken by a team based in Sri Lanka. This is also aimed at the future, as our partner plans to undergo a rebranding in 2025.

It is a very flat organization where everyone has the opportunity to further develop themselves. Since everyone works remotely, there is a high sense of responsibility. Currently, the company has 36 employees, including about 26 engineers, spread over 6 teams. This is in the Netherlands. There is also a team in Sri Lanka. Therefore, the working language is English.
