Elements is growing and ambitious! As part of our exciting expansion, we just moved from Almere to Amsterdam and we’re looking for a Senior Python/Django Developer who is eager to learn Golang to help us build web applications millions rely on.

Our approach is to combine strong and deep rooted Software Engineering principles with advanced AI powered workflows using the latest tooling and AI models to solve complex business challenges. We build faster, smarter, and with higher quality.

Our team is the engine behind this approach. With more than 15 software engineers from over 8 different nationalities, we work from our offices in Amsterdam and Barcelona on challenging projects. We believe in a culture of Excellence, Collaboration and Impact.
