We are seeking an experienced and detail-oriented Senior System Engineer to design, implement, and maintain mission‑critical infrastructure that supports high‑performance systems. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in systems architecture, cloud technologies, automation, and performance optimization for ‘end‑user systems environments.’

You’ll be a key contributor in uplifting the team’s technical capabilities, enabling smarter operations across our Amsterdam office while also supporting the implementation and rollout of global initiatives and work together with our offices in London, Zug and Aarhus.

Systems Architecture & Design

• Design, deploy, and maintain scalable and secure systems across on‑premise and cloud environments.
