Job description

  • Build and own the reliability and scalability of our production systems, cloud infrastructure, and codebase, ensuring the platform securely manages sensitive financial and personal data.
  • Lead backup and disaster recovery across the platform: define clear recovery targets, rehearse and validate restores, and provide evidence of resilience.
  • Be the first responder when platform incidents arise-whether they’re infrastructure issues, pipeline failures, or security events-and lead the follow-up to prevent recurrence.
  • Share responsibility for our Infrastructure as Code: review and author changes, and keep our infrastructure safe to evolve.
  • Maintain and enhance deployment tooling (TypeScript, with tests) for continuous, safe releases to production.
  • Consistently strengthen the platform security baseline with ongoing improvements such as edge protection, audit logging, pipeline scanning, and secret rotation.
  • Own and develop our authorisation model, ensuring every operation passes robust, externalised permission checks for both people and AI agents.
  • Use AI-driven development as standard: direct coding agents, specify and test requirements, and rigorously review results.
  • Influence the technical roadmap, participate in design reviews, and set a high standard for engineering quality across the team.

Tech Stack

  • AI-driven development: Claude Code and coding agents as standard tooling
  • Ways of working: test-driven development, for the deployment tooling as much as for the applications; infrastructure changes reviewed and applied through the pipeline; shipped continuously
  • Cloud & Infrastructure: AWS, Terraform
  • Data stores: PostgreSQL, S3, NoSQL
  • Application: React, Vite, Tailwind, Node.js (TypeScript), Python
  • Observability: OpenTelemetry, with managed tracing and alerting on top
  • Data & AI: Databricks, AWS Bedrock

Requirements

  • Robust, hands-on AWS expertise and fluency with Terraform, a non-negotiable requirement. You can review and improve existing cloud estates thoroughly.
  • Experience running real-world restores in production and setting clear recovery targets. Reliability, SLOs, and incident response are central to your approach.
  • Experience designing robust permission models and working with extrinsic (outside the app) authorization systems.
  • Proficiency in a modern programming language (TypeScript, Python, or Go) and willingness to work in TypeScript for deployment and authorization tooling.
  • Familiarity with AI-driven software development: comfortable orchestrating coding agents and using specifications/tests as their interface.
  • Proven record of owning outcomes end-to-end (not just completing tickets), with evidence to back it up.
  • Excellent instincts for security within regulated environments dealing with money and personal data. Insurance/Insurtech experience is a plus but not required.
  • Proactive, pragmatic, and communicative; you’re a problem-solver and team contributor in a small, agile environment.
  • Ability to travel to the Amsterdam office at least two days per week.

Benefits & conditions

  • Competitive compensation
  • Latest MacBook Pro and equipment
  • Paid licences for Claude Code, AI agents, and leading development tools
  • Flexible hybrid work (2-3 days in the office)
  • Visa sponsorship available (including takeover of an existing Dutch visa; no relocation support)
  • Beautiful Amsterdam office
  • High ownership and direct influence on architecture and product
  • Opportunity for fast-track career growth
  • Work closely with leadership and partners
