About the role
Be yourself at Protolabs
Studies have shown that women and people of color are less likely to apply to jobs unless they meet every single qualification. We are an equal opportunity employer, and we are committed to building a diverse team that feels they are valued in the workplace. So do you feel you do not meet every single requirement but still intrigued? We encourage you to still apply! You can help make our company even better. We do not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, sexual orientation, gender, age, mental or physical ability, or any way you represent yourself. We strongly believe diversity makes for more successful teams.
Why Protolabs?
We are the leaders in digital manufacturing. We hire doers, makers, and creative thinkers who tackle our roles with an entrepreneurial spirit. Our culture is centered around meaningful work that brings new and innovative products to market at unprecedented speeds. We are a diverse team that comes from all walks of life and take pride in our team who is smart, genuine, humble, and passionate about what we do. It’s our people who fuel our creativity and make our culture feel like home.
We are looking for a Senior Python Developer to join our team in AMS!
This is a hybrid role, and we are accepting applications from candidates based in the Netherlands.
The Manufacturing Partner Marketplace is the operational heart of Protolabs Network. We own the full order lifecycle - matching orders to the right manufacturing partners, moving them through production and quality control, and ensuring on-time delivery. Our work is critical to maintaining seamless operations and customer satisfaction.
Within this domain you'll be building systems that power the marketplace - automated auctions, order allocation, supplier tooling, production workflows, global logistics, quality control, and internal ops tools. We are looking for a pragmatic problem solver who will thrive in a dynamic environment and can take ownership of the business problem, not just the technical solution.
