Back-end Engineer | Fintech Scale-up | Amsterdam

📍 Netherlands

💻 Hybrid

💰 Competitive salary / freelance depending on setup

🌍 EU working rights required

We're working with a well-known fintech product team that is part of a broader ecosystem backed by one of the Netherlands' largest banks! They've built something millions of people use every day.

They're looking for a Back-end Engineer (medior or senior) who cares about doing things right and grow with this team where developers are trusted to make decisions, contribute ideas, and work closely together in a flat structure. Impact matters more than job title.

What you'll be working on:

• Building and maintaining back-end services in an event-driven, microservices architecture
• Working across serverless AWS infrastructure (Lambda, DynamoDB, API Gateway, SNS, SQS, EventBridge)
• Contributing to CI/CD pipelines and IaC (AWS CDK preferred)
• Owning your domain - security, observability, and quality baked in from the start

What they're looking for:

• Go experience (strong preference) — or compiled/strongly typed languages like Rust, C/C++, Java, C#
• Solid AWS background, ideally with serverless and event-driven stacks
• Comfortable with GitHub Actions or similar CI/CD tooling
• Someone who takes ownership, thrives in a flat org, and values ideas over titles
• Medior: works independently, collaborates well, contributes to architecture discussions
• Senior: brings technical leadership, mentors others, thinks long-term

The setup:

• Hybrid working, central Amsterdam office
• Flat structure. Contributions valued over seniority
• Shared workspace with other fintech innovators
