Junea - Full Stack Developer

The world is changing. Automation (and certainly AI) is and will become the norm, and traditional sales models are under pressure. There are fewer and fewer people available to work in stores, canteens, hotels and other sales locations. Software, AI and data-driven sales – and personal digital advice – are becoming increasingly important. We saw this shift and knew: this is where the future lies.

With this vision, we started Junea in 2019. Our goal? To reinvent the vending world. Smarter, more efficient and more beautiful than ever. Our vending machines are not only smart, but also a statement. Sleek, well-thought-out and iconic. But a beautiful product does not make a company.

In recent years, we have worked hard to turn that idea into a solid, fast-growing organization. We succeeded. Junea is growing rapidly. Every week we install new smart vending machines in the Netherlands and our customers are extremely enthusiastic.

Our ambition?

✓ First market leader in the Netherlands – We want to be in every corner of every company.

✓ Then we conquer Europe – Step by step, with maximum energy.

✓ And then? The world is your oyster, because we dream big.

Ready to make an impact? Perhaps you are our new Full Stack Developer.

As a Full Stack Developer you will play a crucial role in the development of our cloud-based vending platform.
