Back-end developer

It is time for people-centric living and working spaces. That is what Urban Campus does. They design and operate spaces (Urban Campuses), with the aim of transforming how people live together in cities.

Urban Campus offers coliving, coworking and shared spaces, that support the modern lifestyle of professionals, who value social interactions. They create communities of like-minded people and animate them by regularly organizing events and activities.

Why?
To answer significant societal changes. Cities are more and more attractive, people are hyperconnected yet they suffer from loneliness, they constantly are in motion and crave flexibility, freedom, and socialization.

Urban Campus welcomes all curious minds. They want to offer opportunities for everyone to discover, learn, test, make… a little or a lot. They support people in their personal or professional projects.

The digital experience is at the heart of the Urban Campus vision. We are convinced that design & technology are key to creating a seamless and consistent user experience, achieve our vision and successfully redefine the way we live in cities.
