Sander is a UX/UI designer and has been with Koodin since the very beginning. “Dennis convinced me with his enthusiasm and vision for the perfect balance between a permanent job and freelancing.” At Koodin, you are directly part of the success of our company: growth goes hand in hand with welcoming new people to our team. “We all have the freedom to think along about where we are going, which is essential to me."

For Sander, work serves not only a professional but also a social function. "It has to be a mix of five, a little of this and that. When that is in balance, I’m happy." Transparency is one of those components. An important pillar for Sander, and for Koodin. In practice, this means, for example, insight into finances and open salary lists. "There’s no hassle about salaries, we know what each other earns and that gives us the chance to talk about it. Difficult matters are simply put on the table here, we can openly discuss them."

This open culture is our foundation on multiple levels. Koodin is there for all tech seniors who want to be connected in freedom. “We are a beautiful mix of people. Diversity is important for the atmosphere and for the quality of the work we deliver: much better ideas come out of that than when you are stuck in a certain culture." Here, we do not believe in such an unwritten dress code. We believe that people should be able to be themselves, both in terms of clothing and as a person with their own story.

At Koodin, we have a senior-only policy. This means that we work at a certain level, which influences the type of assignments we take on. It makes the assignments more challenging. “I always prefer a project where I can really sink my teeth into it. That could involve complex material or a specific challenge in content.”

So at Koodin, it’s not just about delivering a product but about creating something that our client can truly work with. Collaboration with the client is central. “For me personally, it’s important that the work I do on a daily basis adds value. We are not here just to be put to use, but to add value. To build something that remains valuable even without us."
