Skill: software engineering
Among the best in the world at what they do3 roles
We are fairly confident these organisations are among the best in the world in their field — vetted by GiveWell, Animal Charity Evaluators, Founders Pledge or The Life You Can Save, or featured by 80,000 Hours. So we list every role there that is open to someone in the Netherlands, including support and operations work. Expect fierce competition, and expect remote work or a move.

Roles with leverage, here in the Netherlands5 roles
Dutch organisations — ministries, regulators, universities, banks — where you can work on one of these problems without leaving. Nobody has vetted them as a whole, so we judge role by role: does what this specific job does count, or is it leaning on the employer’s mission? That judgement is ours. Competition here is usually a good deal lighter.
