Senior Java Backend Engineer Amsterdam

As a Java/Kotlin Backend Engineer, you work at the heart of a heavy-load platform that processes massive volumes of complex data daily. You build scalable, event-driven systems with Java, Kotlin and Kafka, running on GCP, and automate with modern CI/CD and Terraform. Your focus is on performance, scalability and reliability while you investigate and implement new technologies to keep the platform future-proof.

You collaborate with a multidisciplinary team of software engineers, data scientists and researchers in an environment with considerable freedom and technical challenges. The company is a mid-sized, tech-driven organization in Amsterdam developing an advanced platform for processing and analyzing massive data volumes. The ambition is clear: create an open-source solution available globally for scientists, doctors and researchers.

Growth opportunities: You work alongside senior engineers and architects and learn daily from the best in the field. You have the opportunity to grow into a senior or specialist role, take more responsibility in architecture and design decisions, and eventually lead complex technical projects yourself.
