Senior Backend Engineer Amsterdam

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you help organizations bring modern backend platforms and GenAI systems to production. You build scalable backend services and platform components around foundation models and LLMs, with a focus on orchestration, integrations, APIs, event flows and reliability. You work on cloud-native and event-driven architectures where AI functionality becomes part of existing software ecosystems. Think backend platforms with RAG pipelines, enterprise integrations, observability tooling and multi-agent orchestration within complex production environments. Projects are long-term and you remain involved after systems go live.

Requirements:

• Minimum 7 years experience as a software engineer or backend engineer
• Strong experience with Kotlin, Java, Go or other modern backend languages
• Interest in GenAI systems and already working with them yourself
• Affinity with AI orchestration, RAG systems or observability
• Experience with Kafka, Docker, AWS/GCP or modern platform infrastructures
• You take ownership, communicate strongly and dare to challenge the status quo
