€3000-3525 per month
Faqta provides the digital foundation that thousands of teachers across the Netherlands rely on every day to deliver lessons, track progress, and manage their classrooms.
As we move beyond the startup phase, we are evolving into a structured, high-quality engineering organization. We are currently modernizing our backend to ensure our platform remains stable, scalable, and maintainable as our reach continues to grow.
As a Backend Developer, you will play a key role in transitioning our legacy systems into a robust, future-proof environment, directly improving the tools that power the modern classroom.
You will own backend features and systems from design through deployment, working closely with product, design, and the rest of the engineering team.
How we work
We are a small engineering team, which means everyone has real ownership.
You won't be waiting for someone to tell you exactly what to do next. We expect engineers to think about problems, propose solutions, and drive their work forward.
Because the team is small, the systems you build will directly impact how thousands of teachers and students use the platform.
High-trust, low-ego, and zero corporate fluff. Our retrospectives are a genuine safe space where we discuss technical challenges openly - and yes, there is a meme section. We take the work seriously, but we don't take ourselves too seriously.
We hire experienced engineers and trust them with real ownership. No micromanagement - just collaboration, accountability, and the freedom to do great work.
Who you are
The Essentials
Experience
We know that not everyone matches every requirement. If you're excited about the role, we still encourage you to apply.
This is where you'll land
What started as an idea to improve primary education has grown into a learning platform used daily by more than 10,000 teachers and over 150,000 students. Our goal? To reach 1 million users by 2030! You will be right there with us to experience. and achieve, that growth.
Our mission
If we were satisfied with the current state of the education system, we wouldn't have started this journey with Faqta. We believe things can be done differently and, above all, better. We tested our first concept together with teachers in the classroom, and that's still how we work today. We believe it is the teachers who truly shape education.
The future of education we envision is one where school is a fantastic place for teachers to work because students actually want to learn. Students are motivated because the lessons they receive and the software they use are designed with that goal in mind. That's why we are building a sustainable learning environment for primary schools, featuring thematically integrated teaching materials for grades 1 through 8, always based on scientifically proven insights.
Our big goal
In 2026, we will expand our range with Faqta Dutch.
