Hire Software Engineers (Python & Golang) in the Netherlands & Belgium.
Python and Golang engineers are the production backbone of AI systems: the APIs, data plumbing and reliability work that makes models usable at scale. Noordt & Co. places them from Amsterdam at AI-first startups, scale-ups and global brands across the Netherlands and Belgium.
How do we recruit Python and Golang engineers in the Netherlands and Belgium?
Every search is led by a consultant who understands the role technically.

You receive a calibrated shortlist, not a resume feed, and we share our market read either way. Engagements run as permanent search, secondment or contract, and under the Dutch DBA rules secondment is often the cleanest route to senior flexible capacity.

Frequently asked questions
How long does it take to hire a senior software engineer in the Netherlands?
For a well-scoped senior role, we typically present a qualified shortlist within two weeks and complete placements in 18–30 days. Timelines depend on interview discipline on the client side more than on candidate supply.
What does a software engineer earn in the Netherlands in 2026?
Indicative base salaries run €65,000–€105,000 for senior profiles in the Randstad. Belgium runs slightly lower at €60,000–€95,000. Equity and the 30% ruling materially change the calculus for international hires.
Do you recruit Python and Golang engineers for both permanent and secondment engagements?
Yes. Permanent search, secondment and contract are all standard. Under the Dutch DBA rules, secondment is often the cleanest way to bring in senior capacity without compliance risk.
Why hire backend engineers through an AI recruitment agency?
Because the differentiator is AI-context fluency: engineers who have shipped around models, GPU job queues and probabilistic outputs. We qualify for that specifically, which generic IT agencies do not.
