We are SIDN

The internet. The internet is the biggest and most successful global collaboration of all time. Once something new and spellbinding, it's now an integral part of everyday life for almost everyone in the Netherlands. As a result, many people take the internet for granted. But, for us, the wonder remains.

We are SIDN. We began as internet pioneers, and forged an identity as digital thinkers and doers, shaping the reality of today and tomorrow. We have a strong sense of shared responsibility for the internet in the Netherlands. A responsibility that we willingly accept. A responsibility that we work to fulfil, every hour of every day. We bring people together by operating a .nl domain that's secure and technically reliable. And, because the internet is a highly dynamic environment, we are constantly anticipating what's required and adapting our services to match.

In a world of opportunities and challenges, we're dedicated to enabling confidence online. We're a small organisation with big ambitions. Our highly motivated professionals are passionate about their work, and proud of the difference they make and the people they work with. Together, we're always reaching for the heights. How about you?

What you can expect

For us, it's all about balance. Balance between hard work and relaxation, between performance and reward, between your ambitions and ours, between an inspiring office environment and the convenience of working from home, and of course between professional and private life. As well as utilising the latest, proven internet technologies, we also work with modern IT systems for easy collaboration, remotely, physically and in hybrid forms. We also make sure that our people have well-equipped home workstations, plus access to an office space with everything they need to get together, collaborate and inspire each another.

If you want to go running or visit granny during office hours, we're okay with that. What's more, a workation is also possible with us. As long as you live up to your professional responsibilities, we'll work out between us exactly how and when you do your work. And we're not fans of annual performance appraisal. What really matters is year-round personal development and results. Where you take the lead. It’s a philosophy that our personnel really like: Effectory designated us a Worldclass Workplace for 2025-2026. Recognition for our passion and outstanding employment practices.
