SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER (GYT)

Location: Netherlands, Germany or Hungary (hybrid - 2 days in office / week)

Salary: competitive

Type of employment: employee

Tasks:

Build agentically
Frame and decompose problems, orchestrate agents to implement them, and verify the result.
Build new agentic product capabilities, and modernise pieces of the legacy Java/MS SQL platform on the modern TS/Vue/Azure stack.
Work with agents, stay accountable
Write implementation briefs and acceptance criteria before invoking agents.
Curate context aggressively — the right files, constraints, and invariants; lean on CLAUDE.md conventions, subagents, and MCP tools to scale beyond single-shot prompting.
Design verification before or alongside implementation: tests, runtime checks, migration validation, observability, and rollback planning — plus the evals that catch regressions automatically.
Handle agent permissions, context, secrets, and dependency changes with care, and keep agent-generated change sets small, understandable, and maintainable with reviewable evidence behind them.
Recognise when a plausible agent-generated solution is architecturally wrong, unsafe, or unnecessarily complex — and review agent-generated work before it merges. You own the outcome.
Raise the bar
Contribute reusable patterns, subagents, and evals to the shared libraries the wider org adopts.
Pair with colleagues to lift the team's overall capability — coaching is part of the job.
Technology:
- Legacy: Java, MS SQL and heritage architecture.
- Modern: TypeScript, Vue, Azure, Kubernetes and cloud-native/service-oriented systems.
- Tools: subagents, MCP integrations and multi-agent workflows.
- Success in year one
- Ship meaningful product and modernisation

Requirements:

At least 5 years of expereince in Java.
Strong production engineer with current, daily, hands-on agentic delivery practice (Claude Code, Cursor, Aider, or equivalent).
Experience in at least one of: TypeScript / Vue, Azure-hosted systems.
Deep software-engineering judgement independent of any tool — strong testing instincts, comfort with operational concerns, and the ability to spot output that is plausible but architecturally wrong, unsafe, or unnecessarily complex.
Comfortable in ambiguity and inside legacy codebases; communicates well in writing.
Fluent English

Nice to have:

Experience modernising or decomposing a heritage platform in production.
Reusable prompts, subagents, evals, or CLAUDE.md conventions you have built and shared with a team.
Hands-on with MCP tool integrations or building agent workflows beyond a single editor session.
Depth across multiple stacks rather than a single one.
