Who are we?

Azarius is an online store with offices and distribution centre in Amsterdam right next to the Westerpark. We have over nineteen years of experience in selling high-quality herbs, seeds,  supplements and vaporizers and are committed to carrying only the best quality products.

At Azarius we are also convinced of the benefits of vaporizing, the consumption of effective natural ingredients for body and mind. It is no longer a fleeting trend but an innovative tech business with many influences from Silicon Valley. It is in line with a healthy, conscious lifestyle that is being adopted by more and more people. Our motto is: what grows in nature has the right to exist. We give people access to plants, herbs and seeds from all over the world.

What will you be doing?

You'll be helping us develop our in-house shopping platform. Because you'll be working on a small team the job will be varied, ranging from coding PHP to doing network maintenance or setting up DNS records and systems administration.

Of course, we expect you to be awesome at what you do. But besides all that, we think a cultural match is just as important. That you always face your challenges in a positive way, that you like getting stuff done and that our open and unconventional culture feels like home. We value your experience and opinion so we expect you to speak up and challenge whenever there is room for improvement.

What can your day look like?

In the morning at 9:45 am we have a standup meeting with the team in which we discuss what we did the day before and what we are going to work on today. Then we check whether code needs to be reviewed and whether product backlog items needs to be refined. Once that is done we check which tasks are open for the current sprint and we take on what is most important.

At noon we do lunch all together at the office canteen or you can choose to stroll through the green Westerpark which is just around the corner. Then, we work on everything from the front-end to the back-end, HTML, CSS, PHP, databases and to various sites. So in that respect, your job will be quite varied. We also do system management (Linux servers). After work, you can choose to play some pool, join our yoga class or have a beer at the Friday night work drinks.
