Are you an experienced developer with a passion for innovation and do you want to contribute to a safer Netherlands? At the Police Service Center in Utrecht, we are looking for you to strengthen our team and help build advanced systems for investigations. Step into the world of cutting-edge technologies and make a direct difference in the daily work of our detectives.

What will you do?

You will work in one of the teams in the General Investigations cluster within the Investigations product line at the National Police's IT Department. This cluster develops and manages software that supports the investigation process of investigative services. You will work on facilities for the investigations of the national police, but also for other investigative services, such as the National Investigation Service.

This software mainly consists of a Delphi-based system. You are one of the Delphi specialists within your team and you will work with your colleagues to achieve the team goals that enable investigations to perform their work better in the Netherlands.

You will coach and guide fellow developers and help to safeguard Delphi knowledge within the police organization. For the facilities, it is necessary to catch up on life cycle management; you will have a steering role to identify and plan the necessary extensive work within your team.

Work is primarily done with Delphi, but knowledge of .NET and Oracle SQL is certainly required for this role. You have an affinity for integrating the software into a CI/CD pipeline using Atlassian tooling, Bitbucket, Jenkins, and XLDeploy.

This way, you ensure at all times that the products are maintainable and well-tested, so that others can also make optimal use of them, all within the frameworks and guidelines used within the organization.

Where will you work?

You will work in the Production House of the IT Department. In Utrecht, multidisciplinary DevOps teams develop new functionalities for operational police services. Currently, we work two to three days on-site in Utrecht, and the rest from home.

Furthermore, it is good to know that you may occasionally be called upon outside office hours. The work of the police continues 24/7. This occurs 2 or 3 times a year.

Who are you?

An IT professional with broad, solid programming knowledge and experience with Delphi and Oracle stored procedures. You are a go-getter with a mindset to tackle things. You enjoy achieving results and regularly ask yourself: how can this be done even better? Moreover, you are a true team player, adapt easily when the situation requires it, and support and guide colleagues. You are entrepreneurial and capable of acting as an advisor within your field and indicating well-considered solution directions.

Additionally, you are someone who can ensure the continuity and quality of software development based on knowledge and experience. You have a broad perspective and can look beyond your own field and make connections. You are results-oriented, have perseverance, and are able to create support through your persuasiveness, within the complex IT landscape of the police.
