You collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to turn ideas into high-impact features that our customers love.

Your average week as a senior full stack developer in Utrecht looks like this:

• Collaborate with product and design teams to scope and build new features that improve the user experience

• Take part in four weekly sprints with your colleagues

• Write clean, scalable, and maintainable code using modern TypeScript, React, Node.js, and MongoDB

• Architect and implement performant and secure REST APIs that power our platform

• Lead technical design sessions and contribute to system architecture decisions

• Review pull requests, mentor junior developers, and help uphold high engineering standards

• Contribute to improving developer workflows, CI/CD processes, and automated testing

• Take ownership of projects from planning through deployment, ensuring timely delivery and high quality

In short: thanks to your work, our platform becomes faster, smarter, and more scalable – allowing customers to grow and enabling Learned to reach the next level.

• You have 5+ years of experience as a senior full stack developer and feel at home in the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js)

• You're fluent in JavaScript (ES6+) and TypeScript, and know how to build clean, scalable, and maintainable code using modern design patterns and best practices

• You bring a sharp eye for user experience – not just in the browser, but also in how you structure APIs and backend flows

• You’re comfortable taking the lead on technical decisions, enjoy mentoring others, and bring your team along through feedback and code reviews
