Legal AI is only as good as the knowledge it's built on, and we've been working on knowledge at Lefebvre Sdu for 200 years. Day in. Day out. Law by law. Word by word. We do this so thoroughly that other Legal AI tools run on our data and our software. From our Dutch office, we also develop our own platform for the Lefebvre Group, the European leader in legal and tax knowledge: GenIA-L, which already generates more than €100 million in ARR in Europe. Over 75,000 professionals use it daily, and we build it on the standard their profession demands. We are looking for a Senior Scala Engineer to ensure the foundation beneath this is solid.
Everything GenIA-L does starts with content. Laws, case law, and professional literature from over 30 sources flow through our content pipeline, are stored, and made available to the teams that build knowledge and AI applications on top of it. This pipeline is the backbone of our infrastructure. We are integrating the development of our content pipeline even further. You will be the first senior engineer we hire for this purpose, and you will work in a team that will eventually be fully responsible for it. You will thoroughly familiarize yourself with the existing infrastructure, improve it step by step, and take technical leadership. You will participate in discussions about who we hire and help onboard new engineers. Not everything needs to be rebuilt from scratch. This technology has been running for many years and needs to run for many more. You will ensure its reliability and see where new technologies truly add value.
You are a senior engineer who knows Scala well and gets energy from software that matters. You don't have to rebuild everything from scratch to make an impact. It's in existing, business-critical technology that you see where it can be improved. You set the technical direction, dare to make decisions, and get energy from building a strong internal team together.
• You have at least 5+ years of experience in the JVM ecosystem, with relevant Scala experience. A combination of, for example, Java and Scala is also suitable • You can set the technical direction from day one and help make decisions about architecture, quality, and development practices • You enjoy working with existing, business-critical software and seeing where it can be made smarter, better, and more reliable • You want to build not only good software but also a good team. You actively participate in discussions about which engineers and expertise are needed for this • You combine backend development with an understanding of data engineering. Experience with data pipelines, XML, or NLP will be a big plus
You will report to our Lead Backend Engineer and be part of Product & Tech, where backend, frontend, DevOps, UX, and AI engineers work together on GenIA-L. You will be given a lot of freedom and responsibility. You largely determine how you spend your day and what to do, and if you consider something important, you can usually make it happen. You will start as a Senior Scala Engineer and can grow into the technical lead for all Scala engineers in the company, or even for the entire backend.
A good base salary and a standard 36-hour work week. An annual year-end bonus of 4% of your gross annual salary and a variable profit share that can amount to 6% of your gross annual salary. 23 vacation days and a personal choice budget of 12%, of which 8% is holiday pay and 4% is freely disposable, for example, for additional vacation days. A good pension scheme via PGB, including additional partner insurance. Commuting allowance of €0.25 per kilometer or reimbursement for public transport, as well as an attractive bicycle scheme. For employees with a commute of less than 10 km or more than 60 km, we have an adapted scheme. Hybrid working: 2 days a week in the office in The Hague, on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Space for growth. In your profession, in your role, in the organization.
