MOVE vacatures

We’re on a mission to become the go-to destination for students across Europe to find a trusted home away from home. We make every move simple and seamless, so students can focus on what really matters: studying, exploring, and growing in their new city.

With HousingAnywhere, Kamernet, and Studapart under our roof, we’re proud to be Europe’s largest mid-term rental platform. And we’re just getting started.

Our international teams are driven by a shared purpose: to empower students to embrace change, unlock their potential, and shape a world without borders.

You’ll find us in Rotterdam, Paris, and Cergy, working across cultures and time zones, always guided by our four core values:

• Ownership
• We are Enablers
• We are Changemakers
• We are Connectors

As a Frontend Software Engineer in HousingAnywhere, you will become part of one of our product teams and work directly with other engineers and product managers towards the specific team mission and goals.

By becoming more efficient and effective we will be able to scale our operations at a much faster pace. On a more human level, we’re going to positively reinforce the daily work lives of our colleagues and empower them to grow and to spend their time on those matters that really matter and make an impact.

Besides empowering our colleagues we will also make an active commitment to embedding data privacy and security standards into our internal tooling.

Our Frontend stack is built on React/TypeScript. Our backend runs on Golang, with PostgreSQL database(s). We run our services inside Docker containers in a Kubernetes cluster, all running in GCP. We use gRPC and messaging queue(s) in addition to HTTP for communication. We love Git. We are quickly moving towards cross-platform Domain and Event-driven architecture.
