What does a Team Lead TypeScript at Coolblue do?
As a Team Lead TypeScript, you lead a multidisciplinary team of 3-7 Coolblue colleagues. You are not only the team captain but also a hands-on developer, spending 75-80% of your time coding, engaging in technical discussions, making architectural decisions, and doing pair programming. Together with the product owner, customer journey specialist, designer, and analyst, you guide the team in the right direction. You ensure code quality by applying best practices and conducting code reviews, while continuously looking for ways to improve collaboration and productivity. You foster an open culture where feedback is the norm, so new team members feel at home quickly. Together, you build software that delights our customers.
You enjoy doing this
- Building and leading a team that delivers robust software.
- Helping your team members set goals and choose smart approaches to achieve them.
- Actively developing and contributing to team projects.
- Reviewing code, sharing best practices, and fostering a culture of craftsmanship and collaboration.
- Coaching team members with continuous feedback and supporting their growth.
- Improving processes to fully leverage Scrum methodologies.

Does Coolblue offer a hybrid workplace?
Working at the office makes us happy, that’s why we are working partly from home and partly from the office.
-
Can I live outside the Netherlands and still work in the Tech department of Coolblue?
No, it’s not possible to work from abroad as a Tech colleague. We like collaborating in a digital way, but over this last year we’ve seen that doing a retrospective, a pair-programming session, or grabbing a drink in real life is much more fun. That’s why we like everybody to be in the Rotterdam office at least 4-8 days a month on average. Together with your manager, you decide how often you and your team really meet in the office.
Besides that it’s much more fun to see each other in real life, there are also some tax regulations that make it hard to work from abroad.
For a lot of vacancies, we have the possibility to help you (and your family) to relocate to the Netherlands. Visit our relocation page for more information about moving to the Netherlands. -
How often do I go to the office?
Together with your manager, you decide how many days you and your team will be in the office. On average, this will be at least 4-8 times a month.
-
Do you help new colleagues relocate?
Yes, we do this for most vacancies. If the vacancy you’re interested in has a relocation sign on top, it means we’ll help you (and your direct family) to relocate. You can find more information on our relocation page.
Do I need to live in Rotterdam when I move to the Netherlands?
No, that’s not necessary. The Netherlands is a small country, so if you want to live in Amsterdam, Utrecht, or Tilburg, that’s okay. As long as you are able to meet your team in the Rotterdam office around 4-8 times a month, you can live wherever you want.
-
Can I keep developing myself?
Coolblue University: learning at Coolblue, in a different way.
With over 30 training courses in our own Coolblue University, you can get a little bit better every day. At Coolblue, we go back to school sometimes. But not by sitting there quietly and just listening. The training courses aren't boring, but interactive. You have to do exercises and have discussions with others. At the Coolblue University, we choose what we want to learn, so we can continue to develop en become real experts. For example, a Delivery Driver needs different training courses than a Customer Service Employe and a starter needs different courses than a manager.
