Build open source software that slowly but surely gathers all historical data in Europe

We're a team of engineers at the Royal Academy of Sciences in the Netherlands. We build a Backend as a Service that allows users to deposit their data[1]. We're looking for front-end / back-end engineers (we prefer people who like a little bit of both) to add features for exposing the data (search, visualisation) and for working with the data (distributes storage, reasoning/inferring knowledge).

We provide an environment where people enjoy freedom of work, where our clients understand the uncertainty of experimentation (they're researchers after all) and where all code is published under an open-source license.

We're using java (yes, voluntarily), react/redux (I know, sooo 2016) and we're hosting on kubernetes (sorry, no disparaging remark here). We don't really care if you've used these exact technologies before, but we do care if you have built up greenfield applications as well as to have worked on applications that have been in development for a few years.

Interview process: phone interview -> at a later date a technical challenge (in person or screenshare) -> final interview (finalizing the agreement)
