Software Engineer – Node.js/Nest.js | React.js/Next.js - TypeScript | Utrecht [€80K]

[SaaS / Scale-Up]

Hundreds of thousands of users interact with content built on this platform daily. The backend that powers it is a three-person engineering team, Javascript stack on Google Cloud, and a data layer that's getting more complex by the month.

My client is a growing tech scale-up with a team of 12 people, completely revolutionizing the way companies communicate. They have developed an innovative no-code story CMS that allows clients to build interactive stories for recruitment, onboarding, and marketing. The platform is accessed by hundreds of thousands of users monthly and is on the verge of a major technological renewal (V2).

You will be working alongside the founder, another senior developer, and a Product Manager. The stack is built on Node.js, React, and GCP. They are now making a major transition to Next.js and are fully integrating AI technologies (such as the Vercel AI SDK) to make the platform even smarter and more user-friendly. The entire CI/CD pipeline runs on GCP with Docker and Kubernetes. They are looking for an experienced developer who can strengthen the backend side and play a crucial role in the scalability and future of the product.

What you’ll do

You work across the full stack, with most of your time on backend and data. You design and build APIs and backend services in Nest.js and Node.js, develop integrations with external platforms like CRM, LMS, and analytics tools, and implement data pipelines and statistical processing that power the product. About 30 percent of your time is fullstack: shipping end-to-end features in React, from database to UI. You collaborate closely with the frontend developer, the product manager, and Customer Success. You join client conversations when technical depth is needed. You use AI tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot to move faster and architecture decisions are a shared conversation, not handed down from above.

Your profile

• 5+ years of experience as a Full Stack Engineer
• Strong knowledge of Node.js (Nest.js is a plus) and React/Next.js
• Experience building APIs and working with databases and caching solutions

• pipelines
• Affinity with data: integrations, analytics, or statistical processing are familiar territory
• AI-native developer: you use tools like Claude Code, Cursor, or Copilot daily
• Fluent in English. Dutch is a plus

What’s in it for you

Up to €80K gross per year. Hybrid working from the Utrecht office and travel allowance. Learning budget for courses, conferences, and tooling. On top of that a 13th month bonus paid out when the company hits its revenue target, a scheme that applies to the whole team.
