Senior Software Engineer

Amsterdam/ 2 days in office | 85000 - 100000 + Equity | Permanent

Python • FastAPI • Vue.js • GCP • Early Employee

€85k–€100k + Equity | Amsterdam Hybrid

I’m supporting an early but already shipping payments startup that’s live in production, routing real transactions, and gearing up for their seed round. They’re backed by a serious Dutch investor who’s fully behind the mission — rare at this stage.

They’ve already got a small, sharp engineering team (3–5 very strong, some of the best in the NL if you ask ), and now they’re looking to add another senior engineer who can help level up the platform and help steer the next phase of growth.

Why this one should stand out! 🚀

• Join while it’s still early, but not chaotic — foundations are in place
• Work directly with founders from Adyen and ING
• Your voice matters: architecture, culture, product direction
• Clear momentum towards a seed round
• Investors who genuinely believe in what’s being built
• You’ll help shape the next 10 hires and the engineering DNA

Tech you’ll be working with 💻

• Backend: Python + FastAPI
• Frontend: Vue.js (React/Angular folks welcome if open to switching)
• Infra: GCP, Terraform, CI/CD
• Domain: payments routing, merchant dashboards, reliability, data flows

What they’re looking for 🎯

• 5+ years building and shipping products end-to-end
• Backend-leaning full-stack
• Strong frontend fundamentals (framework doesn’t matter if you’re good)
• Comfortable in cloud (GCP or AWS)
• Someone who enjoys ownership, ambiguity, and building properly.

The offer 💰

• €85k–€100k + equity
• Hybrid, flexible, grown-up culture
• Impact from day one on a product already used by real merchants
• Chance to grow into Staff/Lead as the team scales

If you want early-stage energy without the “we’re still trying to figure out what the hell we’re doing ” chaos — this is a gooden.

2026 is going to be huge; the post-money valuation already says it all. No glossy secondaries or corporate perks, this is the golden ticket for someone who wants real skin in the game.
