Job Responsibilities

In your role as a system developer, you will have the opportunity to participate in the design, development, and quality assurance of a new development assignment within the police authority. The system will be used throughout police operations and will play an important role in the police's crime-fighting mission and contribute to an effective police operation.

Some technical points regarding the assignment/system:

The system will collect data via dynamic responsive web forms and then generate filled PDF forms with advanced layouts, or alternatively send the entered data to external APIs. The design of the forms will be completely driven by structured data, and the system should support a variety of forms and be scalable, robust, and maintainable in the long term.

As a system developer, your main tasks may include:

• Contributing to design choices and the development of a generic, configuration-driven system.
• Ensuring high quality in architecture, code, and documentation.
• Contributing to the selection of technology, frameworks, and architecture.
• Collaborating closely with the business requirements team, as well as UX specialists and our system integration group, as well as other groups in various technical areas within the IT department.

Within the police IT department, all groups act as product owners, which means responsibility for the entire product lifecycle, including new development, further development, and maintenance/support. You will work closely with a technical project manager and solution architect according to an agile working method where collaboration occurs close to police operations.

We are entering a period with great opportunities for developing work methods and technology, as well as creative dialogues and technical challenges together with the operations. You will therefore have good opportunities to put your stamp on your professional role and working methods.
