Lead Platform Engineer - AI IoT Platform - Rotterdam - up to 100K plus equity


One of the most promising NL based scale-ups is hiring a talented platform engineer. My client is already winning tenders from established global tech businesses (Software AG, Siemens etc) in the IoT space. With a small team of engineers they manage to out-compete huge engineering departments of their competitors. I guess this illustrates that this lean and mean A team are able to engineer an insane advanced IoT platform.


The technical founder is looking for a platform engineer that is eager to take ownership on all cloud and infra related responsibilities, since he needs more time to work on strategic goals with the complete team.


Core skill set evolves around setting up, scaling and maintaining distributed data infrastructure:


  • Linux, AWS, Kubernetes, Kafka, Cassandra, PostgreSQL, Java, Python, Terraform & Ansible;
  • Next to this you do not mind to code, or are keen to improve your coding skills;
  • Bonus if you have experience with embedding AI functionality within the cloud and on prem infrastructure;
  • The passionate engineer that we are hiring for should have an agnostic mindset on technology, but strongly focused on automation;
  • You have a holistic view on software and platform / infrastructure.


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


What's in it for you:


  • Gross yearly salary up to EUR 100K;
  • Equity (stock certificates). And when taking into consideration that my client has a demonstrated history of tripling their year on year revenue, we are talking about serious money in say 5 years' time;
  • A very talented lean and mean engineering team, who minimize meetings. They prefer to spend the time building NextGen tech.


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


Key words: Linux, AWS, Kafka, Cassandra, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, Java, Terraform & Ansible.


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