Yes, if you are hired from abroad into a role that qualifies as a scarce speciality and meet the salary threshold. Linux, DevOps, SRE, and cloud infrastructure roles typically qualify.

Almost universally yes, for technical roles. Amsterdam's tech sector is highly international and English is the de facto working language at the vast majority of product and platform companies.
