Who are we?
Rinkel is a telecommunications scale-up founded in 2014 in the Netherlands. We offer a SaaS telephony platform that revolutionises the way freelancers and small businesses communicate. That includes building our very own Webphone in 2021, and launching our integrations in early 2022. And for two years in a row, we're also one of the fastest growing businesses in the Netherlands! And there's so much more to us.
Our founders are techies, which means we don't consider software engineering an afterthought, a necessary evil or an expense. It's in our DNA. We're passionate about transforming a conservative telecom market, where most applications come from the Age of Dinosaurs. We do this by designing and building intuitive software by applying User Centered Design principles. From networking to mobile apps: everything is done in-house, which allows for rapid prototyping ("fail often, fail fast") and enables us to stay ahead of the competition.
Next to that, we have recently opened a new Engineering office in Barcelona! After growing our team from 2 to 11 people in just a couple of years, it was time to spread our wings and look beyond our borders. Barcelona has been chosen as the location to further expand our Engineering team because we think its hot tech scene is a perfect match for us. You will join two colleagues already working in the Barcelona office (which is located right next to the beach!). To ensure team synergy and to integrate new hires into our current team, employees will have the option to travel between Barcelona and Rotterdam on a regular basis.
