About us

Mindhash is a small Dutch software engineering company founded in 2018 and based at the High Tech Systems Park in Hengelo. At Mindhash we design and build complex software and hardware to run it on. We work on a few of our own products, on engineering projects with partners as well as for customers, on experiments and prototypes that help us explore new ideas and technologies, and we help other companies innovate through technical consultancy and building proofs-of-concept.

We are nerds, love technology, and attempt to pick the projects based on whether they provide an exciting challenge for us. One such project is StreetAnalytics, which uses LiDAR to improve infrastructure by continuously scanning the environment to identify traffic, measure speed and position, and provide insight to traffic experts and city planners. It involves developing new algorithms and machine learning approaches, designing battery-powered hardware, implementing live remote viewing, and generating statistics and visualisations. Another project is the GlobalLink series devices made for Victron Energy, IoT devices that connect wirelessly to remotely read solar and battery systems. It involves designing efficient and secure data transmission, building reliable systems for over-the-air updates, debugging low-level microcontroller software, and optimising algorithms and data structures.

Who we are looking for

We are looking for a software engineer who shares our love for technology, is enthusiastic about delivering well-written code and documentation, appreciates bugs as an opportunity to better understand a system rather than as a nuisance, and likes working on complex technical challenges both alone and with a team. You have experience writing code in low-level programming languages such as Rust or C, but also don’t have any issue jumping into other languages such as Python, Shell, or JavaScript. Aside from tackling technical issues you take responsibility for advancing projects together with your team and meet with partners and/or customers to discuss projects and next steps.

• Knowledgeable at an academic level;
• A few years of relevant experience in software engineering;
• Enjoys working on new technology with both (embedded) software and hardware components;
• Comfortable at a Unix command line, familiar with modern development practices;
• Self-motivated, set priorities and plans their own work;
• Good communicator, documenting and explaining their ideas;
• Takes responsibility, works with partners/customers directly;
• Doesn’t mind co-workers getting excited over decades-old technology.

What’s in it for you?

As an engineer at Mindhash, you will be a part of a young and small company, which means you get a lot of freedom to use your creativity to approach projects however you like, but also the responsibility to set the right priorities to reach our goals. We take pride in the craft of engineering and try to provide regular feedback to each other and encourage learning new things. Aside from working hard, we aim to have a relaxing environment, spend some time on fun side projects, and even have the occasional LAN party.

• Exciting customers like BAM, Liberty Global, Rijkswaterstaat, Thales and Victron Energy;
• An informal work environment with likeminded people;
• Full access to our offices and all the snacks in the secret snack stash;
• Flexible working hours and hybrid working
• Visits to events such as FOSDEM and CES;
• Possibility to follow courses and trainings;
• Your choice of laptop or desktop (which you may need to assemble yourself), as well as your own choice of OS (which you may need to set up yourself).

Where will you work?

Our office is located in Hengelo (OV). Working hours at Mindhash are flexible, with the option to work remotely. We value face-to-face communication, and encourage being at the office at least three days per week. When working remotely, we keep connected using a combination of chat, (video)calls and email.
