Backend Engineer

🚨 Freelance Backend Engineer (Kotlin) - Randstad 🇳🇱 I’m currently speaking with a team working at the heart of a major national infrastructure challenge - the kind of problem that genuinely impacts businesses, economies, and everyday life. They’re looking for a Senior Backend Engineer (Kotlin/Java) to join on a long-term freelance assignment (circa 12 months). This isn’t just another backend role: - You’ll be working on complex, real-world systems - Tackling scalability and legacy modernisation challenges - Contributing to solutions where demand massively outweighs supply ⚙️ Tech: Kotlin / Java, backend systems, data-heavy environments 📍 Location: Randstad (hybrid – 2 days onsite so must already be located in NL) 💰 Day rate: Very competitive (happy to discuss) 👥 Team: Smaller, focused, engineering-led environment - thoughtful, collaborative, and low ego — This will suit someone who: - Enjoys solving meaningful problems, not just shipping features - Is comfortable in evolving environments (not everything is fully defined) - Values longer-term engagements where they can make a real impact — If you’re a freelance Kotlin engineer open to something new - or just curious - drop me a message. P.s - It is an English speaking environment but a lot of the documentation is in Dutch so an English speaker with No Dutch understanding might struggle in this environment.
