About us

Marple is a startup based in Antwerp, Belgium. We are a product-focused company, building visualisation software for large time series datasets.

Our customers are top engineering teams that win motorsport championships, develop electrical planes, design new electrical engines and make hyperloop a real thing in Europe.

What we expect from you

Non-negotiable

  • Full-time position
  • 3 days / week present at the office in Antwerp
  • You have experience in coding non-trivial things (the kind where you need to think 4 hours to write 5 lines)

Things that we like, but are not required

  • Experience with Python, PostgreSQL, Linux, Docker, AWS or Kubernetes
  • Good development hygiene (small pull requests, unit testing, pure functions, …)
  • A degree in computer science, maths or other science/engineering fields
  • You have shipped a product before (can be small)
  • You speak Dutch

What makes us different

Many companies claim this, but we actually do it

  • Insanely fast prototyping & iterating (shipping 29 full releases last year)
  • You’ll have ownership in getting product features from idea to implementation
  • We take code reviews very serious - everybody learns this way
  • Your voice is equally heard in the dev team, regardless of seniority
  • High quality standards for clean code
  • We don’t work a crazy amount of hours and take decent breaks

Also, performance is a continuous challenge in our product. A typical use case has datasets at 200Hz, 2000 channels, for 1 hour. That means that one such dataset contains 1.4B data points. We allow visualising multiple of these - all the while keeping the UI experience smooth. This makes coding new features certainly not easy, but very interesting.

What we offer

We make an offer adjusted to your experience

  • Competitive salary with benefits
  • Equity (ESOP)
  • Flexible approach to paid time off
  • An awesome office on the 8th floor with a view on the Schelde

We are not sponsoring EU/Belgian VISAs.
