Product Developer
Loop Earplugs, Belgium
Job Description
Hi, we are Loop. We make earplugs. But not the mushy sound-muting kind. Ours don’t block the sound; they filter it. And they look smart and fit comfortably too. Thousands of noise sensitive people went crazy for them, calling them ‘a life changer’.
Today, we’re one of the fastest growing DTC brands in hearables. And we keep on growing. Exploding even. But we’re ambitious. We want to get our name and earplugs out there, changing even more lives.
How ambitious, you ask? On a scale from ‘busy bee’ to ‘taking over the world’, we’re definitely aiming for the world. In what’s left of 2022 alone, we’re launching five new products that will broaden the scope of our product range a lot. And there’s more where that came from. Limited edition designs, seasonal collections, new accessories we’re even thinking about a new set of super outrageous earplugs, like the one studded with diamonds. Exciting, right? There’s just one thing missing though. A Senior Product Developer to get these newbies on the market.
We’re looking for someone who can:
Get stuff done
And by ‘stuff’ we mean that one huge jaw-dropping product development project we can’t reveal just yet. Or the multiple smaller incremental ones we have coming up. Curious? Great, just the quality we’re looking for in a product developer. Either way, the development of it is yours to plan, manage and fully own. From conceptualization and?prototyping down to?user testing and finetuning the?design. Your itch to organize things? Here’s where you get to scratch it.
Play the team card
Your negotiating and motivating skills, are they any good? Yes? Great, because you’re not just working with our own designers and engineers. You also follow up on the external acoustic engineers and suppliers involved. In short: you plug in the right people at the right time. No need to show you the ropes though, you have an eye for detail and a knack for understanding what needs to be done. You have the experience, and you’re not afraid to use it. Oh, and if you do need a second pair of eyes, just touch base with Robrecht, our Product Development Manager, or Sander your team lead.
Speaking of teams. You won’t be doing this alone. Far from. We want to double the development team in the next three months. From nine to twenty Loopers. Yes, we’re ambitious. But you are too, right?
Requirements
Only three of them? Yes. Nice surprise, isn’t it? They’re not up for discussion though. Must-have material.
- You know how to get your ideas across. You’re fluent in English, both written and spoken.
- You’re pretty awesome in general. A sense of humor? Even better.
- You’re in our Antwerp office on a regular basis, but otherwise you’re free to work wherever. Why? You need to work with a lot of other Loopers on a hardware product. And that’s just easier in person.
Benefits
A.k.a. the what’s-in-it-for-you part.
- A challenge. No really, it’s the one thing we’re absolutely sure of around here.
- We take care of our people. So, we pay them what they’re worth. Expect a competitive pay for your level of experience and potential. Legal benefits included.
- An openminded work culture. And we’re not just saying that. We operate on a global level. Which means we work with people from all over the world.
- Also: Senegal. The location of our last team building. Just saying.
