Description

BEDRIJFSPROFIEL

Our client is a rapidly growing HR-tech scale-up in Amsterdam, building an AI-driven selection engine that automates prescreening, assessments and scheduling. Backed by strong funding and trusted by European customers, they are scaling fast.
The setup is pure start-up mode: a small engineering team (4 people, soon 5+), no middle management, short lines, and a culture that thrives on drive, learning and speed. You’ll see the results of your work live within days — not months.
This is not the place for 9–5 routines. It’s the place for engineers who love building, experimenting and growing together in a team that takes pride in shipping.

JOB DESCRIPTION

  • Take ownership of the core backend services and APIs
  • Make the platform scalable as customer usage keeps growing
  • Build and maintain ATS integrations and assessment workflows
  • Improve performance, reliability, testing and code quality
  • Be a mentor and example for less experienced teammates
  • Collaborate directly with founders, product and frontend engineers

JOB REQUIREMENTS

  • 5+ years of backend experience in Python OR Go / Elixir / Rust
  • Strong track record building scalable systems and APIs
-

Nice-to-haves: ATS/HR-tech experience, affinity with AI-enhanced workflows, exposure to infra (Docker, CI/CD)

  • Start-up mentality: high energy, learning mindset, no 9–5 attitude
  • Strong product sense — you care about impact and user value
  • Based in the Netherlands and willing to work 4 days per week onsite in Amsterdam
