Backend Tech Lead Node.js
As a Backend Tech Lead, you work on long-term, complex projects where you combine technical depth with leadership.


Are you an experienced Backend Tech Lead capable of leading a team beyond borders? Or do you aspire to become one? And do you want to work in a dynamic environment where you can leverage both your technical and interpersonal skills? This role as a Backend Tech Lead brings it all together.

What you’ll do

  • Build scalable and high-quality backend solutions

  • Translate customer needs into practical technical solutions

You’ll spend around 50–80% of your time coding yourself. The rest of your time will be dedicated to team coordination, architecture, and client communication. Perfect if you want to grow your leadership skills without letting go of your love for tech.

You'll work on projects like building a smart rental and booking platform for one of the largest holiday park chains in the Netherlands, including fast search capabilities and optimized performance.

What you bring

  • Solid experience with Node.js and TypeScript
  • Experience setting up cloud infrastructure (AWS or Azure)

  • Strong problem-solving mindset and technical depth
  • Eagerness to learn and grow
  • Fluent in both Dutch and English (written and spoken)
