Full-stack developer - Freelance

NOTE

Tis vacancy is based in the Netherlands. Only applications with a valid working and residence permit for the Netherlands will be considered.

Why do we need someone?

Over the past five years, we’ve been working on a major modernization of our platform - transitioning from a legacy PHP 5.4-based UI to a new architecture using React (with TypeScript) on the frontend and Go on the backend. This has been a significant and necessary shift, and we are now in the middle stretch and are looking for additional support to help us deliver a working product to our users.

Who are we looking for?

We’re seeking a senior freelancer who can hit the ground running and help us complete the remaining pieces of the product. Your focus will be on functionality rather than polish - recreating core features from the legacy system within the new architecture to get us to a releasable state. You should be comfortable working in a Linux environment, experienced in Go and React, and ideally familiar with CI/CD pipelines (Jenkins experience is a plus). In addition to hands-on development, we're looking for someone who can collaborate effectively with and help mentor the existing team.
