*How You Make Impact*
Alle aanvullende informatie die u voor deze baan nodig heeft, vindt u in de onderstaande tekst. Zorg ervoor dat u deze grondig leest en vervolgens solliciteert.
From week one, your code runs in production for some of Europe’s most complex organisations. This is not a role where your work disappears into a backlog. In a team our size, what you build is visible, immediate, and depended on daily.
Decisions move fast here. There is no committee to wait for, no approval chain to navigate. If you see a better way, say it – it might be live next week. The clients are serious organisations with real operational challenges, and the solutions you build directly change how they work. That kind of impact is rare. We think it matters.
*About Contractuo*
We’re Contractuo, a small, fast-moving company building the next generation of contract intelligence. Our platform helps major enterprises understand, process, and act on their legal documents at scale. At the core, we’re a document and data platform: we ingest complex, unstructured contracts and turn them into structured, queryable, actionable data that businesses can actually use. The technology is genuinely unique. The clients are serious organisations. The team is small by design.
We are scaling up and looking for a full-stack developer to join our team in Venlo. This is a software engineering role. You’ll design and build the services, pipelines, and integrations that make our platform work – writing clean, maintainable code, thinking carefully about architecture, data flow, and edge cases, and shipping things that hold up in production.
AI is part of the stack. You’ll leverage it where it makes the product better – extracting structure from messy documents, powering smart features, automating what used to be manual. But the job is building software, not building models. We’re looking for someone who thinks like an engineer first: someone who knows when to reach for an LLM and when a well-written function does the job better.
If you like turning messy, real-world problems into reliable, production-ready systems and you want to use AI as a tool rather than be defined by it – this is the role.
*What You Will Build*
You will build and own core modules in our platform – built on PHP and Go, both actively in use. At the heart of this is our Control Plane Automation Module: the orchestration layer that brings together automation nodes, data points, integrations, and AI functionalities that our enterprise clients depend on daily.
As a full-stack developer you will work across the entire product – from back-end architecture to front-end delivery – and connect, professionalise, and ship features end-to-end. You will work closely with our UX and project teams, and in many cases directly with clients. The feedback loop at Contractuo is short.
Roughly how your time will be spent:
* 70% full-stack development across PHP, Go, and frontend
* 20% contributing to internal processes and technical direction
* 10% raising the quality bar – code reviews, standards, coaching junior developers
*Who We Are Looking For*
You have 4–8 years of experience and operate comfortably at mid-level or senior level. You have a full-stack mindset with a clear back-end drive. You write code you are proud of, review meticulously, and raise the bar around you rather than working around it.
*What you bring technically:*
* You are strong in either PHP or Go with working knowledge of the other – and you pick up new tools when the problem calls for it
* You write clean, maintainable code and think carefully about architecture, data flow, and edge cases
* You have practical experience with AI integrations – leveraging them where they make the product better, not as a default answer
* You are comfortable with modern dev tooling and use AI as a multiplier, not a crutch
*How you work:*
* You want to work on a product that is actually hard to build
* You are comfortable owning something end-to-end with limited hand-holding
* You develop with the user in mind – you understand what good usability requires and bring that thinking to everything you build
* You communicate well with non-technical people without losing technical depth
* You perform best when things are constantly evolving and the environment isn’t fully set in stone
*Nice to haves:*
* Experience with document or contract management, LegalTech, or workflow automation tools such as n8n
* Practical experience with AI integrations
* Familiarity with enterprise integration patterns or API-heavy architectures
* German language skills – written and spoken
*Our Values*
*Trust & Respect* – We trust each other to deliver. No micromanagement, no sign-off culture, no hierarchy getting in the way. Decisions are made on merit, not position. You’ll be trusted from day one – and we expect the same in return.
*Ownership & Responsibility* – We take end-to-end ownership, even beyond our obvious area of responsibility. When something goes wrong, we own it. When something goes right, the team owns it together.
*Honesty & Transparency* – We keep it real. Feedback may leave you feeling uncomfortable – but it also makes you grow. We’re transparent about mistakes, delays, and limitations. No surprises, no sugarcoating.
*Teamwork* – We work as one team. No distinction between roles, seniority, or background. Everyone supports each other and takes decisions based on merit. Team here means together – not just a marketing slogan.
*Fun* – We don’t take ourselves too seriously. We work hard, but we genuinely enjoy doing it – and we think that matters.
*What We Offer*
* Competitive salary based on experience + 8% annual holiday allowance
* 25 vacation days, with the option to buy 10 additional days
* MacBook, phone, and all tools you need to work efficiently
* Flexible working hours – work when you’re most productive
* Hybrid – freedom to work from home, with a team day every Friday in Venlo
* From month one, your code runs in production for enterprise clients
* Flat structure – no hierarchy, direct impact on product and clients from day one
* Growth path – Lead Developer, Architect, or Team Lead depending on your ambition
* Training & development actively encouraged
* Visa sponsorship available for the right candidate
*The Hiring Process*
* CV screening with a short introductory call with our management
* On-site live coding session – a practical assignment you complete and present
We move fast: within two weeks we make a decision and present a formal offer. We respond to every application within 14 business days.
