About HerFuture

HerFuture is here to shake up the tech industry. We empower female tech talent through events, jobs, career guidance and unapologetically inspiring content.

Our platform is growing insanely fast. Like, "is this real?" kind of fast. Our clients include leading organisations such as ING, KPN, Robeco, Rabobank and many more, and thousands of users rely on our product, with global expansion on the horizon.

Why this role matters

You won't just manage features. You'll lead the product, guide the engineering direction, and shape the experience of thousands of users. And because this position is mission critical, you'll also receive Stock Appreciation Rights: you're not just building the product, you're building your own upside.

What you'll be doing

You're part Product Lead, part hands on tech builder, part "give me the repo, I'll fix it."

• Set the product vision and timelines for one or multiple product areas.
• Oversee development and ensure the HerFuture app aligns with company strategy.
• Jump into backend or frontend code when needed: you MUST be a strong coder.
• Create tickets, stories, and manage sprints in Jira like a boss.
• Review merge requests on GitLab with a ruthless eye for detail.
• Delegate tasks, prioritise ruthlessly, and keep the roadmap clear and focused.
• Obsess over the user journey and constantly find creative ways to elevate it.
• Turn vague ideas into crisp, user centred features.
• Protect our app like a fortress: security first thinking is in your DNA.
• Balance big picture vision with hands on building (you can zoom in and out like a pro).
• Move fast. We ship weekly, we break barriers, not spirits.

If the sentence "my idea went live in two days" makes your heart beat a little faster, you'll thrive here.

Who you are

• You can code exceptionally well. Seriously. If you can't code, this isn't your role. It doesn't matter which programming language you code in. If you're a smart cookie, you'll learn our stack in no time.
• You're a builder at heart: you dream in architecture diagrams and wake up thinking about user flows.
• Your attention to detail is borderline scary (in a good way). Spelling mistake? Padding issue? Misaligned button? You see it before anyone else.
• You think strategically, but you're also willing to roll up your sleeves and get things done.
• You understand security, scalability, and how to make good trade offs.
• You're energised by fast growth, ambitious goals, and big missions.
• You love users. You want their experience to sparkle.
