hn · ONSITE - HYBRID - REMOTE (NL preferred, EU considered)
Jose is an exceptional technical match with deep expertise across the entire Make Waves stack (Python, FastAPI, PostgreSQL, Next.js, React, TypeScript, GCP, Terraform, Kubernetes, Redis), proven ability to ship full-stack products from scratch, and 12 years of production systems experience. His founding engineer role at Addie demonstrates exactly the kind of end-to-end ownership and rapid iteration that a growing platform company needs. The primary constraint is location preference (NL/EU) and the lack of explicit visa sponsorship mentioned in the posting, combined with his current California base.
Hook: Your full-stack platform needs someone who's built AI products end-to-end on your exact tech stack—Jose architected real-time systems across FastAPI, Next.js, and PostgreSQL at Addie while owning infrastructure and product decisions simultaneously.
Missing: Netherlands/EU residency or willingness to relocate without sponsorship, Music industry domain experience, Explicit experience with music distribution or streaming platforms
