Your Employer: This fintech scale-up is shaping the future of payments!

A successful group of tech entrepreneurs who previously built a Fintech unicorn from scratch came together with the ingenious plan to change the future of payments worldwide with disruptive, real-time products. Never before have so many brilliant technologists and business specialists with niche knowledge come together in the field of payments. Working here is like Amazon when they had only 50 engineers! With these brilliant minds, they achieve what organizations of 1500 people can’t.

Recently, the best engineers from Google, Amazon, and Facebook chose to work for this Fintech scale-up because of the unique engineering culture, product, and inspiring technical management. The company culture is international, with people from all over the world, and it is experienced as open, friendly, and informal. What makes the culture so unique is that there is literally no hierarchy!

The engineering culture is defined by the CTO, who wrote the first code and is involved hands-on every day. Everyone here is very positive about the fast decision cycles, direct interaction with management, knowledge-sharing sessions, and maximum autonomy. Here, the mindset is that the best engineers perform optimally with freedom and responsibility, and you are constantly encouraged to come up with innovative ideas. You can create your own schedule and work for just 35 hours if the results are achieved.

The conditions are attractive because, in addition to a high salary (up to €125,000), you will receive €20,000 in stocks, which could be worth millions in a few years! You will also receive an immediate permanent contract, an excellent pension, an unlimited training and conference budget, and the opportunity to contribute to open source.

Your Role: Principal Software Engineer Amsterdam

As a Principal Software Engineer in Amsterdam, you will help multiple teams of experienced, talented, and seasoned backend engineers to be even more effective. As a bridge between business and technology, you will refine processes and have full ownership of the architecture/design and end result of brand-new projects, with a direct impact on end-users. You will also have the opportunity to be technically leading in the most important API, Node.JS, and Golang Microservices within AWS-Serverless infrastructure.

This is the perfect time to join, as there is a transition phase where you can shape the bigger picture and the future of this Fintech scale-up. With your crucial role as a Principal, you can make an incredible impact within this growing tech scale-up and on a global 24/7 market with billions of end-users!

You can still pursue your passion because 50% of your time is hands-on. Since millions of users from around the world use the server, and payment transactions must never fail, scalability, security, and performance are crucial, and you can tackle these fun challenges! As server load continues to increase, concurrency and the role of Golang become even more important!
