Assignment / job description

The BVID (Basic Provision for Identity Verification) is the system behind the identification kiosks of the National Police. It is used to register and verify personal data of suspects and foreigners using documents, fingerprints, photos, and signatures. It can also be used to determine if someone is already known to the police or a chain partner.

The reason for this request is to accelerate the migration to a newer version of the BVID software. The entire BVID software is being rebuilt on a modern architecture (DDD, clean architecture, event-driven) and technology stack (.NET 10, containerization).

This must form the basis for all extensions that need to be implemented in the coming years to comply with various European regulations. BVID has a clear architectural vision, but the path to this goal is a complex journey (partly due to BVID's position in both the criminal justice and alien chains). Additional capacity is needed to realize the migration as quickly as possible.

Currently, three DevOps teams are working in the cluster. These are multi-disciplinary teams consisting of a combination of internal and external employees with IT and business representation. These teams work closely together from a shared backlog. The product owner prioritizes and manages the product backlog. Based on this product backlog, the teams manage their own sprint backlog.

Within the cluster, work is carried out according to the Operating Model of the Service Delivery Partners sector. This is an Agile scaling model based on SAFe and ensures alignment of work and dependencies between the different teams. Team-transcending rituals, such as quarterly planning, are also performed with this way of working.

Work activities / tasks, responsibilities & objectives

The candidate develops software in .NET and realizes features from the product backlog.

The candidate organizes their own work and picks up stories independently within three-week sprints.

The candidate actively contributes to architectural choices and proposes concrete solutions.

The candidate delivers software that meets the Definition of Done.

The team works according to the "you build it, you run it" principle. The candidate makes an active contribution to this by bringing software to production together with the team and participating in the management of BVID (on a rotating basis).

The candidate participates in the team's on-call roster (approximately four times a year), third-line support. The application is available 24/7 for various chain partners.

The candidate maintains the management documentation for the work they contribute to.

The candidate proactively shares knowledge within and outside the team. Knowledge transfer is a standard part of the work and takes place during the contract period.

The candidate works in the internal Development Street, with their own development environment (seat) and a shared OTA environment.

The candidate is present at the office at least two working days per week for collaboration within the team and cluster. The client determines which days.
