Key Skills
Job Description
Software Engineer
Python/FastAPI
Amsterdam
My client isn't looking for someone to execute a roadmap. They're looking for someone to help write it.
They're a fast-moving, well-funded startup based in Amsterdam with 400+ paying customers, a 4+ year runway, and a founding team that knows how to build. They're at the stage where things are working, and now they need the right people to help them scale.
The role
This is a hands-on engineering role with real ownership. You'll work across the full stack, help shape technical decisions, and have a direct impact on the product and where it goes next. No bureaucracy, no endless approval chains, just a small, talented team moving fast and building something people actually pay for.
What you'll be doing
- Building and improving core product features end-to-end
- Contributing to architectural decisions, not just implementing them
- Working closely with the founding team to shape the product roadmap
- Owning your work from idea to production
The stack Python · FastAPI
What they're looking for
- Strong experience with Python and FastAPI
- Someone who thrives with autonomy and takes pride in their work
- A builder's mindset, you care about the product, not just the code
- Based in Amsterdam or happy to relocate
Why join them?
Serious traction, 400+ paying customers already
Strong investment, 4+ year runway
Impressive founding team with a track record
Real ownership and influence from day one
Fast-moving environment where your work actually matters
If you want to join a startup that's past the risky early stage but still early enough to shape, my client would love to hear from you.
Core Responsibilities
You will build and improve core product features end-to-end while contributing to architectural decisions. You will work closely with the founding team to shape the product roadmap and own your work from idea to production.
Requirements
The role requires strong experience with Python and FastAPI. You must have a builder's mindset, thrive with autonomy, and be based in or willing to relocate to Amsterdam.
