Secfi | Software engineer(s) | Amsterdam, the Netherlands | EUR 35-60k + equity
We're on a mission to increase employee’s private company ownership by helping them exercise their options - a complex and opaque process that typically comes with a lot of anxiety and unanswered questions. Our tools help you take control of your stock options and maximize their potential.
For example: one of the most complicated things for employees is figuring out how much taxes they need to pay when exercising their Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options.
Our recently launched tax planning tool does just that: https://www.secfi.com/option-tax-planning/ https://www.secfi.com/option-tax-planning/
Things we are building next: multiyear tax forecast analysis, recommendation engine based on various sources and fantastic UX and UI. We’ve raised funding from renowned VC investors (known from Uber, Robin Hood), are profitable and are aggressively hiring to continue automating the complex challenges in our platform. Looking for:
- Front-end engineers https://www.secfi.com/careers/front-end-developer/ https://www.secfi.com/careers/front-end-developer/

- ta2323423 8y ago35k in a city with a ~40% tax rate and rents approaching 2k/month. Developer salaries in Europe are a joke.
- logicx24 8y agoActually though. This is awful. I loved Amsterdam, but I can't imagine why anyone would stay in Europe when even new grads can make >= 4x that in the US.
- hectormalot 8y ago35k is low even for straight out of university. With a few years of experience it’s closer to 50-70k€ (57-80k$) That said, when I was doing the math on moving to the states, a +80% increase in salary still left me with less money in NYC vs Amsterdam. (I have kids: healthcare + kids education + rent basically wipes out your income in the US, it doesn’t in Amsterdam)
- piotr1212 8y agoYup, and when your kids will go to uni you'll be paying 2.000 euro/year for TU Delft instead of 40.000 for MIT.
- madebysid 8y agoWell one of the reasons (and it's a dumb one), is that getting a US work Visa is almost impossible for most, so they don't really have a choice, unfortunately.
- ta2323423 8y agoProblem is it's impossible to get a US work visa :)
- akvadrako 8y agoThere are a lot of really low-ball offers, but there is also a shortage of talented applicants, so you can find some stuff around for €140K or €85-110 / hour. You also don't need a car, work reasonable hours and get twice the vacation.
- piotr1212 8y agoThat is not a regular salary in the Netherlands, they are just being cheap. My first job paid 40k, in a cheaper city, 10 years ago without a university degree. Tax brackets are progressive, with 35k you pay about 20% income tax. Expats get a 30% income tax discount for 5 years. While salaries are low, it does have some advantages to live here. Strong employee protection (you can't get fired for example), paid leave (minimum is 20 days + public holidays), you don't work more than 40h/week, cheap healthcare, good infrastructure and public transport, paid sick/disability, unemployment benefit, welfare, state pension, etc. It is hard to compare employment salaries. I think it makes more sense to compare freelance wages as they don't have those benefits. Freelance engineers make about 80~100 euro/hour and get some tax discount.
- ta2323423 8y agoI paid 32% on 36k (my first job as a junior dev). But I had no ruling because I studied there for 6 months. Agree with everything else. Netherlands is a great country.
- piotr1212 8y agoI think you are mixing up the tax bracket with the total income tax you payed. With 36k you should pay approximately 25%. See https://www.berekenhet.nl/inkomen/belasting-box1-verschil.html https://www.berekenhet.nl/inkomen/belasting-box1-verschil.ht...
