About us

We're an independent European digital product studio with a strong track record of delivering market-defining strategies and products for enterprises and governments. With about 200 talented people across three countries, premium AI capabilities and a diverse portfolio of international clients, we define, design and ship high-quality digital products, strategies and software. From global cloud-based platforms and large-scale apps to medical devices, banking software and augmented reality experiences. In a nutshell: if it lives and breathes digital, it’s what we do best.

Become a part of our team

At In The Pocket, you join a multidisciplinary team of designers, engineers, strategists and data specialists who care about the work as much as the people they work with. We work in small, autonomous teams that stay close to our clients and their users, and we give everyone the space to take ownership, speak up and grow. You’ll learn from colleagues across our studios, ship products that reach thousands or even millions of people and help shape what digital can do for leading organisations in Europe.

What you’ll do 

• As a part of the team, you'll be taking part in the continuous development of the products that are in the care of your team.
• Day to day, this means developing new user stories, fixing bugs, creating & reviewing pull requests, documenting your work (code comments, readme, confluence,..), performing research, making suggestions for product improvements and communicating clearly about your progress.
• Together with your colleagues, you'll be making sure the product meets all functional and non-functional requirements.
• As an engineer, you understand that producing clean, readable, and testable code is always a priority.
• Use AI tools (e.g., Copilot, ChatGPT) in your development workflow to enhance code writing, support code reviews, and improve productivity.

Who you are 

• Strong knowledge of C# and .NET 6+ (8+ years of experience).
• Good working knowledge of Docker.
• Familiarity with at least one cloud platform (Azure, Google Cloud Platform, or Amazon Web Services).
• Use AI tools (Copilot, ChatGPT, Cursor and others) to support your daily development work and improve code quality.
• Exposure to database technologies such as Redis, MongoDB, or InfluxDB.
• Some experience with messaging and broker systems (Pub/Sub, RabbitMQ, Kafka).
• Familiarity with Terraform, Go, or Elastic Search is a plus.
• You hold a master or bachelor degree in Computer Science/Informatics (or equal through a proven track record).
• You have a good understanding of common software engineering practices, like OOP principles, modern design patterns, test-driven development, continuous integration and continuous deployment.
• You value clean code and clean architecture principles, and strive to produce clean, readable and testable code.
• You're eager to learn new things, share your knowledge, adapt to change and learn from past experiences.
• You're able to work effectively in a team and are always open to feedback from your teammates.
• You understand the importance of application security and data security, and know how that affects your job.
• You communicate fluently in Dutch and English.

What we offer  

Joining In The Pocket means becoming part of a team that shapes the future of our clients’ businesses across Europe. Here’s what you can look forward to:

• You’ll start with a permanent contract in a role that comes with responsibility and the opportunity to make a real impact from day one.
• We offer a competitive salary that reflects your experience and the value you bring.
• Our benefits package has you covered with hospitalisation and group insurance, meal vouchers, a phone subscription, and more.
• You’ll have a mobility budget that lets you decide how to get around, your way. 
• Life at In The Pocket isn’t just about work, we host team events throughout the year to celebrate, connect, and have fun together.
• Learning never stops here, so after six months, you’ll receive a dedicated learning and development budget to keep growing your skills and exploring new horizons.

Required:

• 3+ in Windows desktop application development using Windows App SDK, WinUI (or similar), C#, XAML — and ideally additional experience with native Windows code (C++, Win32/WinRT/COM).
• Deep understanding of Windows application architecture, including interop between managed code (.NET) and native code.
• Proven track record of designing, building, and shipping production-quality desktop applications, with an emphasis on reliability, performance, scalability, and maintainability.
• Strong experience with accessibility APIs on Windows (e.g. Microsoft UI Automation or similar), and a dedication to building accessible and inclusive software.
• Excellent software engineering fundamentals: OOP, design patterns, data structures, algorithms, memory management, multi-threading or asynchronous programming (where relevant).
• Experience leading technical design, mentoring other engineers, conducting code reviews, and making architecture-level decisions.
• Strong communication skills; ability to articulate tradeoffs, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and drive consensus.
• A user-centric mindset: focus on building polished, intuitive, and accessible experiences for end users.

Preferred / Bonus:

• Experience with writing automated tests for UI — unit tests, integration tests, UI automation tests; familiarity with relevant testing frameworks.
• Experience with performance optimization for desktop apps (memory usage, startup time, rendering performance, high-DPI support, responsiveness under load).
• Experience with localization/globalization, right-to-left UI support, internationalization, accessibility for multiple regions.
• Familiarity with telemetry, analytics, crash reporting, logging, and error monitoring in desktop applications.
• Previous experience in shaping CI/CD workflows, release pipelines, and deployment strategies for desktop applications.
• Demonstrated ability to take ownership of feature areas or modules and drive them long-term, including maintenance, refactoring, and technical debt management.

What we offer

• A high-impact role: you will define architecture, shape the future of our Windows product, and directly influence what millions of users see and experience.
• A collaborative, flat-structure engineering culture — you are not just a coder, but a builder and a decision-maker.
• Opportunities to lead — mentor others, steer technical direction, and grow into broader technical leadership (e.g. Tech Lead, Architect).
• Flexibility, autonomy, and responsibility: you define how to solve problems, own features end-to-end, and contribute to long-term product vision.
• A purpose-driven mission: building software that’s reliable, accessible, and user-centered — making a real difference for people.
