About Spindle

Devhouse Spindle is a growing and ever-changing organization on a mission to connect the
world using open and free communication. With almost 60 colleagues, we develop the tools
that make this possible such as VoIPGRID, our award winning telefony platform. Alongside
our VoIP platform we develop an app (both Android and iOS versions), a webphone, and a
browser plugin which allow you to use the platform wherever you are.

Besides developing products, we also connect people through our foundation,
48percent.org, and the open source community, the Open VoIP Alliance. Spindle is located
in Groningen, a beautiful city known for its innovation and the second fastest growing tech
city in the Netherlands.

Working at Spindle

If you look around the office, you’ll notice we do things a bit different around here:

  • We organize ourselves using a system called Holacracy. We believe every colleague is able to contribute to the organization rather than relying on a traditional hierarchy. Having no managers comes with extra responsibility to take ownership of your work and set priorities that help to further the organization.
  • We work with a “build, measure, learn” mentality and open mindset. We recognize that not everything you do is going to work right away. We praise experimentation and reward trying something new, even if the lesson is to not try it again. We have an open and transparent salary system. Every colleague is placed in the pathway and a level best fitting their education and experience. We encourage growth and have clear guidelines and expectations for doing so.
  • We are a diverse and inclusive team of international coworkers. We value the differences that each person brings to the table and think that it's those differences that strengthen our organization.

What we offer

  • A relaxed and welcoming culture with celebrations, events, and trips
  • A competitive salary and good pension benefits
  • An annual study budget and study days for personal and professional growth
  • A 'Work-from-home package' with all the things you need if you want to work from home (chair, monitor, sit/standing desk, extra screen etc).
  • Other benefits that contribute to your health, well-being, and work/life balance
