Requirements and responsibilities
The ChallengeStuck building yet another admin panel at a consultancy? Tired of being the junior person who never gets to touch the interesting parts of the system? Ready to work on problems that actually require you to think?We are building the Adyen of the labor market. Just like Adyen revolutionized payments, we are transforming how people get contracted and paid in the Netherlands. It is a genuinely complex problem space, think CAOs, temporary employment regulations, payroll rules, and changing legislation, that needs smart engineers who want to learn and grow.This is real engineering work with real impactWho We AreMaqqie is one of the fastest growing tech companies in the Netherlands. We are in scale up mode, which means you will get exposure to serious technical challenges while still having senior engineers around to learn from. No corporate bureaucracy, no endless approval chains just building. Our mission is to create a digital labor market that works better for everyone.
