Fullstack Engineer (DRWN)
Darwin Recruitment
Contact person: Khayelihle Matshayana
Amsterdam, Netherlands
Description
Full Stack Engineer, Python / React (DRWN)
Job title - Full Stack Engineer (Python / React)
Client Location - Amsterdam, Netherlands
Remote work offering - 100% (remote within Europe, CET ±2 hours; optional occasional office visits for Netherlands-based candidates)
Client Industry - Employee Benefits / HR Tech
Contract Length - 10 months (extendable)
Contract type - Freelance
Project focus
You'll join an established product engineering team working on a live employee benefits platform, splitting your time roughly evenly between Python backend and React frontend. The work centres on the self-service customer portal and internal tools: improving existing features, shipping new ones end to end, building REST APIs and partner integrations, and keeping the platform fast and reliable. You'll work directly with non-technical colleagues across marketing, customer success and finance, so clear communication and the ability to run independently are key.
Key skills and Experience required
If this role is of interest, please apply with an updated CV.
