Job description

Overview

We are looking for a Lead Software Engineer to join our fast-growing digital strategy-execution company.

Momentum Digital is a rapidly growing company specializing in digital strategy and execution. It was founded by Mark Schröder and Kim Pellikaan, both of whom have decades of experience in building agencies and scale-ups. Our goal is to execute strategies proposed, not just deliver presentations. We are scaling quickly and are looking for a Lead Software Engineer to support growth.

Your New Role

As a Lead Software Engineer at Momentum Digital, you take the lead in building an exceptional team of Software Engineers. You ensure that your team delivers impactful digital transformation projects that drive real business value. You will guide your team in designing and building smart, scalable, data-driven solutions from AI-powered workflows and autonomous agents to advanced analytics applications, using technologies such as Python (Django), Azure cloud-native services, Terraform, GitHub (CI/CD), Cursor AI, Tailwind, and Large Language Models.

You take ownership of the entire project lifecycle, from planning and budgeting to quality assurance, applying best practices such as convention over configuration to ensure strong, future-proof solutions.

You will help build a company that is certified as Great-Place-to-Work and aim to expand the team to over 10 team members within three years. You also aim to maintain a Net Promoter Score (NPS) of 50 or higher while safeguarding billability, and you will be commercially responsible for renewals and resales worth €500,000 per year.

Competencies

• Holding professional Data Engineering and Machine Learning Databricks certifications.
• Demonstrating strong expertise in data-driven application development using Python, with hands-on experience in Azure, GCP, and implementing solutions leveraging Large Language Models.
• Master’s degree, preferably in a scientific field.
• Strong affinity for IT and solution building, with excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to proactively address potential challenges.
• Fluent in Dutch and English, with outstanding customer interaction and presentation skills, capable of leading effective conversations.
• Ability to develop strategies, make them understandable for clients, and translate them into implemented solutions.
• Ability to build and develop a team, supporting your people in good times and leading them in challenging situations.

Responsibilities and Outcomes

• Help Momentum Digital achieve Great-Place-to-Work certification.
• Attract and manage 10+ team members in three years.
• Maintain an NPS of 50 or higher for our clients.
• Deliver value for our clients and remain billable.
• Drive €500k in annual revenue through renewals and resales.

Benefits and Our Offer

Momentum aims to be certified as a Great-Place-to-Work and prioritizes people. This is what you can expect when joining:

• Grow within the company and work with modern strategy and execution frameworks (OKRs, KPIs, transparent review cycles).
• The opportunity to grow within the company.
• Work with high-caliber colleagues who challenge and elevate you.
• 25 days of paid holiday (40-hour week) with the option to buy more.
• Gear of your choice for work.
• A modern, inspiring office environment shared with other innovative companies.
• On-site gym and access to an ice bath to keep body and mind sharp.
• Excellent accessibility by car and public transport.
• A variety of team-building activities and company events, including an annual ski trip.
• The unique opportunity to grow with a fast-growing digital strategy-execution consultancy firm.

Our Core Values

• Value first: Take co-ownership and deliver the promised outcome. Start with the value and work backwards. Be a partner for impact.
• Getting Shit Done: Be accountable and ensure you do the most valuable thing you can imagine, done expeditiously.
• Continuous raise the bar: Raise the bar for yourself, colleagues and partners at work and in your private life.
• Trusted team player: The whole is greater than the sum of the parts; be a trusted team player.
• Don’t compromise: Deliver quality products, services, and processes. Be the person who overdelivers.
