Backend Engineer - IoT Platform - up to 85k plus equity – Rotterdam / Hybrid


One of the most promising NL based scale-ups is hiring a talented backend engineer. My client is already winning tenders from established giga tech businesses (Software AG, Siemens) in the IoT space. And they pull this of with a team of 7 engineers! (17 FTE total headcount). I guess this illustrates that this small A team is engineering an insane advanced and customer centric IoT platform.


The CTO is looking for a backend engineer that is eager to take ownership and likes to wrap her/his head around complex software engineering challenges and ultimately translate them to easy to use APIs that users really want to use.


You are:


  • Java, Spring Boot or Hibernate, RESTful API development and understanding of microservices architecture.
  • Strong knowledge of relational and non-relational databases, like PostgreSQL, Cassandra, ClickHouse.
  • Proficiency in cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP), and containerization tools like Docker & Kubernetes.
  • Work with a wide range of technologies, own and solve problems end-to-end;
  • Be actively involved in decision-making, both on a product and technical level;
  • Bonus: Affinity with AI, ML, LLM’s; experience with distributed systems and/or event streaming (Kafka).


In hiring, there is a strong focus on persona, making sure your values are aligned with the company. The team values emotional growth, hard work/commitment, ‘speak-up’ and teamwork/sharing culture.


What's in it for you:


  • Salary: up to 85k;
  • equity (stock certificates). And when taking into consideration that my client has a demonstrated history of tripling their revenue year on year, we are talking about serious money in say 5 years’ time;
  • A very talented lean and mean engineering team, who minimize meetings, prefer to spend the time building NextGen tech.


My client has a huge window of opportunity in the next few years, since competitors have rigid, closed, heavy and costly offerings.


Key words: Java, AWS, Kafka, Cassandra, ClickHouse, Microservices and IoT.


Thus if you are interested to hear more about joining a scale-up that has enormous potential, where you can make impact, do reach out to me on [email protected]
