Head Of Platform And Architecture
Randstad, Netherlands
Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSander Van Den Berg is a technology executive and architect with 15+ years of hands-on and leadership experience scaling high-traffic platforms, currently shaping the technical direction of Marktplaats as Head of Platform and Architecture. He has led the migration to Elastic search and is driving a move toward decoupled, service-based architectures while blending pragmatic platform ownership with long-term architectural strategy. Earlier roles span search engineering, platform leadership, consultancy, and applied functional programming—bringing expertise in Erlang/OTP, Akka/Scala, Clojure/Haskell patterns for concurrency and scalability. Comfortable in both advisory and execution roles, he combines academic rigor from Eindhoven University of Technology with entrepreneurial experience running a specialist consultancy. Not obvious from the title: he actively applies functional and actor-model techniques to real-world internet-scale problems, not just theoretical designs.
