Full Stack Engineer
Summary
Full-stack engineer at a small senior consultancy that embeds with client teams on hard problems (architecture, new tech, tricky builds) while also building its own in-house products. Backend is TypeScript/Node with a flexible frontend framework; autonomy and variety across projects. Dutch speaking is required.
Worth reading this one properly, especially if you've got cold feet around consultancy.
This isn't the place where they drop you into a client, then shuffle you off somewhere else when it suits the spreadsheet. This is different. Small, senior engineering business, brought in specifically because clients hit a wall they can't solve alone, whether that's architecture, new tech, or builds that are just genuinely hard.
And that's only half of it. They build their own in-house products too. So you're not just parachuting into other people's messes, you get real product work as well, building things properly and actually sticking around long enough to own the outcome.
Basically it's the best bits of a startup. Autonomy, modern stack, real say in how things get built. Just with more variety day to day, and a permanent contract instead of hoping the runway lasts.
If shaping how a team works sounds more appealing than joining one that's already set in stone, keep reading.
So, what we need:
Backend's TypeScript/Node, frontend framework is open, whatever the project needs at the time. You'll own real pieces of the work, not just tickets from a backlog, and you'll be properly embedded with whatever team you're placed with, internal or client side.
And you:
Comfortable moving across the stack, not fussed which frontend framework you land on. Dutch speaking. Fine with a bit of ambiguity and happy working things out yourself rather than waiting to be told. Bonus points if you've juggled multiple projects or clients before.
What's in it for you:
- Gross salary plus 8% holiday allowance
- Lease or travel budget
- Internet and phone allowance
- Performance Bonus
- Pension
- 26 days' holiday
- €3,000 annual study budget, plus dedicated study and R&D days
- Genuine variety, different problems, different stacks, nothing gets stale
If the idea of helping build something from the ground up beats joining something that already runs itself, you know what to do.
