At Sytac , we build high-performing engineering teams for leading organizations in the Netherlands and beyond. We combine a pragmatic, people-first culture with strong technical craftsmanship — giving engineers autonomy in real production environments, backed by a consultancy that invests in growth, community, and long-term partnerships.
For one of our highly regulated, technology-driven clients in the tax and compliance domain , we’re looking for a Software Developer (hands-on) to strengthen the our engineering team. You’ll work within a DevOps team on a complex, business-critical platform that sits at the intersection of application development and Kubernetes-based infrastructure.
This is a hands-on engineering role — not a lead or management position.
What you’ll do
- Design, build, and maintain backend services with a strong focus on Go (Golang)
- Work on a complex, existing application within an enterprise technology stack
- Build and maintain integrations and connectivity with other internal applications
- Develop, deploy, and operate applications running on Kubernetes
- Create, maintain, and optimize Helm charts
- Take ownership of the full application stack (build, run, and maintain)
- Actively contribute to improving code quality, stability, and performance
- Collaborate closely within an agile DevOps team
- Act as an example in engineering approach, documentation, and professionalism
What we’re looking for
- Strong, hands-on experience as a backend software developer
- Solid experience with Go (Golang)
- Experience working with application integrations in an enterprise environment
- Hands-on experience with Kubernetes-based applications
- Experience working at the intersection of application development and infrastructure
- Comfortable managing and operating production systems
- Strong analytical skills and problem-solving mindset
- IDs such as VS Code or JetBrains
- Able to manage and optimize the full development toolchain
- Comfortable owning applications end-to-end in production
Ways of working
- Truly hands-on developer (no lead/manager profile)
- Comfortable joining and contributing to an existing, complex codebase
- Acts with integrity, internally and externally
- Takes ownership and responsibility for outcomes
- Team player who values multiple perspectives
- Empathetic towards colleagues and stakeholders
- Curious, innovative, and not afraid of new technologies
- Feels at home in an agile, DevOps environment and leads by example
Nice to have
- Experience with Python
- Familiarity with Apache Airflow
- Knowledge of XBRL
- Experience optimizing performance of existing web applications
- Experience working in regulated or compliance-driven environments
What we offer
- High-impact role on business-critical tax & compliance platforms
