How is life in Amsterdam for non-white engineers ? I am genuinely curious as I am considering a move from the US, but Europe has some history with brown folks. Is it possible to be fully integrated into the society and not stick out like a sore thumb ?

Within the big cities (Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague) people are very tolerant and life is good. No matter your skin color, to fully integrate you do need to learn some Dutch. That being said, there are lots of expats living here and many welcoming communities to be a part of (without learning Dutch). I can only speak for my personal experiences of course.

Let me know if you ever want to grab a beer in Oost. :)

What stack/ roles?

Sr Software Eng, react + node, some legacy php.
