Most of us here in the land of tulips have gone through the process of uprooting our lives back home and moving them to Amsterdam (21 nationalities and counting!). We put it together to eliminate as much of the inevitable relocation hassle as possible, and are now publishing it in the hopes that it will help you ease into the big decision to move over. This guide is an attempt to encapsulate all the love and information we give those who move to Amsterdam to be with Reaktor.

Also, we trust you to choose whichever conference / course / book you see thatвЂ™s relevant for your development.Join us in Amsterdam. You can regularly take part in global communities of practice where we discuss our latest findings and challenges. In your everyday work youвЂ™ll be surrounded by brilliant minds happy to share their knowledge. However, there are multiple ways you can grow. Reaktorians enjoy working with juniors and seniors on the shiny and dirty bits of the codebase alike. There is no one way to build a career at Reaktor because we donвЂ™t believe in titles and rigid management systems. Your project team might be spread out across all Reaktor locations, and youвЂ™ll be working with clients based around Europe. You can also work remotely on certain days and use flexible hours whenever you need to take some time off. You will gather with your colleagues to create, learn, and enjoy dinners together. Reaktor is known for its flat hierarchy and the Amsterdam office is the first one to test a new form of management: putting a Leadership team in charge instead of a single CEO. This allows us to form meaningful connections with every team member and ensure that everyone has a say in how the company works. But we are backed up in every sense of the word by Reaktor at large.

We are relatively small in scale (50 people and growing). The main reason? In everything we do, we put people first. We would love to hear about your favourite technologies and see your interest in trying out the others as well.

Things we get excited about include: functional programming, Clojure, TypeScript, React, Swift, Kotlin, Postgres and Kanban. For that reason, we see ourselves as technology agnostic and donвЂ™t have specific tech requirements. We know that good developers can create great things in any language. You will get to work with clients operating in very different domains: healthcare, education, retail, media, transportation, finance, and defense, to name a few. We cover everything from technology strategy to architecting, implementing, and running systems. Our award-winning work in consulting, engineering, and production is based on technological excellence. And we donвЂ™t want to stop there.В We are planning to double our international team in size in the coming years. Our Nordic culture defines the key principle of Reaktor: offering exceptional technological competence while deeply caring about the wellbeing of our team-mates.ДЇor more than 20 years, Reaktor has been shaping the digital landscape from our HQ in Helsinki and global offices in Amsterdam, Stockholm, New York and Tokyo. We are a consultancy helping international clients ( adidas, Lego, HBO, Finavia, FC Liverpool, and others) succeed in technology.
