Senior Full-Stack Engineer

πŸ“ Europe - Remote πŸ’Ά Up to €90k + benefits & equity


Some markets are slow because they're genuinely hard. This one is slow because nobody's bothered to fix it.


A small Amsterdam team is changing that. They're rebuilding how regulated firms onboard new clients, today a weeks-long mess of emails, manual checks and chased paperwork. Their platform turns it into something clean that takes days, and quietly keeps bad actors out of the financial system while it's at it.


This is a young, international, deliberately small team and they intend to stay that way. No layers, no committees, no slow drift towards becoming a corporate. You'd report straight to the founder and own real surface area from day one.

Most of what you build is greenfield. You're designing systems, and building something secure and exciting. Whatever you ship is in front of paying customers within days, and the feedback lands in real time!!


This isn't a slide in a pitch deck. The product is live, the runway runs years deep, and the market is old, niche, and barely contested.


🀝 A genuine founding-team seat - flat structure, direct line to the CTO, no layers

⚑ Your work ships to real users in days, not quarters

🧠 An AI-native engineering culture - Claude Code, Codex and friends are part of the daily toolkit, not a side experiment

πŸͺ΄ Meaningful equity (worth up €300k) - real skin in the game, not a token

πŸ— Real ownership of backend architecture, security and core business logic


What you'll be doing


πŸ”§ Building and owning backend services in Python and FastAPI on GCP (60%)

πŸ” Designing secure, reliable systems where data sensitivity genuinely matters

🧩 Turning messy, real-world compliance workflows into clean product logic

πŸ€– Using AI dev tools to move fast without cutting corners on quality

🎨 Jumping into the React/TypeScript frontend whenever the product needs it (40%)


You'll love this if...


βœ… You have strong backend experience with Python, Fast API and ideally GCP

βœ… You have experience with JavaScript, Typescript and frameworks such as React

βœ… You ship fast, learn faster, and treat AI tools as a force multiplier

βœ… You want your code in front of customers within days

βœ… You'd rather have real ownership in a team of 6 than a title in a team of 600

βœ… Bonus points if you've built in a regulated or security-sensitive space


Open to EU-based candidates. No visa sponsorship at this stage.
