Senior Back-end Engineer
We’re after ambitious, self-starting tech lovers who go beyond just writing code. You thrive being involved in every stage of the software delivery lifecycle, and have a track record of building modern systems from the ground up using up-to-date architectures.
🔍 What you’ll have
- Excellent experience with back-end engineering, particularly in Go — though strong Rust, C#, Kotlin or similar skills will count.
- Proven ability to build operable, maintainable services; embedding tools like OpenTelemetry across the SDLC is a big plus.
- Experience deploying applications via GitOps workflows.
- Strong background in automated testing, test-driven and behaviour-driven development, etc.
- Familiarity with microservices architecture.
- Hands-on experience with platform orchestration / automation (a major advantage).
- Experience setting up / maintaining build & CI/CD pipelines, ideally with GitHub Actions.
- Knowledge of on-premise virtualised networks is a bonus.
- You’ve worked in greenfield settings and agile teams.
- Practical experience with Kubernetes; OpenShift is a bonus.
- Dutch language proficiency required.
🚀 What you’ll be doing
You’ll be a key developer in a team building and maintaining our private cloud platform (think Red Hat OpenShift and related technologies). You’ll help shape a platform that supports mission-critical services, aligns with organisational scale, and meets demanding customer requirements.
