JavaScript engineer

As a JavaScript engineer, you will work on a variety of projects across Belgium. You will be part of the development of large and complex web applications. During the day, you will be busy with back-end development in NodeJS, designing in Figma, working cloud-driven, developing reliable REST APIs, using Agile practices, and so on. Aside from gaining expertise in new technologies, you will also coach and support other colleagues.

What we do

Wheelhouse consists of a team of developers, each specialized with a wide range of skill sets in web development, design, UX, DevOps,... As consultants, we put our expertise to work for a variety of clients. We are part of a larger business group named Raccoons, which means you will come into contact with technologies such as artificial intelligence, edge computing, chatbots, and so much more. Wheelhouse is a place where you will truly be nurtured to become the best version of yourself.

When it comes to your projects, we strive for the perfect match between you as a developer and the client who's in need of expertise. These projects can take a few weeks or months, depending on what type of projects you like to do. Our main focus is helping each other grow by coaching, sharing experiences, learning, and of course, developing web applications.

Hey, you!

Talent goes beyond any label. For us, your gender identity, sexuality, nationality, religion, or any other label make no difference. At Wheelhouse, we care about who you are and what you can do.

Did you know that research proved male candidates apply for a job when they check off 60% of the requirements, whereas women need to recognize themselves 100% in the job before even considering it? So, dear job seeker, ignore the qualifications, and let’s see if we are a good match.
