Principal Engineer

Shape scalable tech. Lead with impact.

Why is this role made for you?

You’ve built solid systems. You’ve mentored teams. Now you’re ready to take ownership—architecting solutions that scale across Europe while guiding other engineers to grow.

We’re looking for a Principal Engineer living in the Netherlands who’s ready to lead from within: technically sharp, culturally aware, and business-savvy. You’ll bridge vision and execution in a role where your leadership directly accelerates international growth.
