Job description

Technical Team Lead - Platform Team

Our goal? To kick-start a true revolution within the accountancy sector! With our software, we offer accountants and entrepreneurs more efficiency, control, and insight!

Yuki & The Yuki Way

Hi there, welcome to Yuki! As a vibrant, international IT scale-up, we support accountants, businesses, and entrepreneurs in handling their accounting more efficiently and simply, and thus more enjoyable! And to make that possible, we’re looking for kick‑ass colleagues to complete our ambitious, cheerful, and lively team of top professionals!

Yuki is one of the leading innovators in the domain of accounting and financial administration. We are rapidly growing and, as a product‑driven organisation, it makes us proud that our business‑critical SaaS solution is already used by over 130,000 companies and hundreds of accountancy firms across The Netherlands. We need you to empower our developers by building and maintaining the robust internal tools, infrastructure, and seamless integrations that form the rock‑solid foundation of our engineering department!

What you will be doing

You will join our Platform Team as a Tech Lead. Within our development organization, this team focuses on the system‑technical foundation of Yuki. Your mission is to develop and maintain the internal tools, infrastructure, and (Visma) integrations that support our engineering department.

As a Tech Lead you’ll focus entirely on code quality, architectural integrity, and the successful delivery of our roadmap. You will stay hands‑on by developing within your scrum squad while acting as the technical bridge between product and execution. This role allows you to stay dedicated to engineering, as all people‑management responsibilities (such as career growth and 1-on-1s) are handled by our Software Development Managers.

• You act as the technical authority within the 'Trio' (Product Owner, Designer, and Tech Lead), ensuring that the product roadmap is technically feasible and optimized for long-term scalability.
• Delivery & roadmap: You are responsible for the technical delivery of the team. You set priorities, manage the technical roadmap, and ensure that milestones are met.
• Architecture & strategy: You oversee the technical direction of the squad, identifying potential improvements in our solutions and leading initiatives that push our stack (both .NET and Vue.js) forward.
• Hands‑on development: You lead by example. You remain actively involved in the codebase, delivering high-performing features and solving complex technical challenges alongside your team.
• Quality: You safeguard our engineering standards by conducting code reviews, ensuring that the team produces readable, maintainable, and secure code.
• Cross-functional alignment: You collaborate directly with other Tech Leads, our CTO and Software Development Managers, to align goals with the broader organizational architecture.
• Mentorship: You act as a mentor for other developers, helping them sharpen their technical skills and adopt best practices, without being responsible for their formal HR or growth cycles.

What you will bring to the team

• At least 5+ years of experience in software development, with a mastery of the .NET ecosystem (C# and SQL Server) being a big plus.
• Previous experience in a lead role or as a senior developer where you were responsible for technical roadmaps and delivery.
• A solid understanding of web, SPA, and component architecture, as well as backend design patterns and database optimization.
• You are passionate about writing clear, maintainable code and utilizing industry-standard practices and testing frameworks.
• You have a strong sense of ownership over the squad's output and know how to prioritize technical tasks to meet business goals.
• Solid knowledge of web security, cross-browser compatibility, and API development (RESTful).
• You are a strong communicator who can translate complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders (PO/Design).

Very Important: What's in It for You

At Yuki, we believe in empowering our team so they can empower our users. Here’s what we offer:

• Personal development: A generous training budget, available directly after your probation period, for specialized certifications, courses, training, etc. to solidify your technical expertise.
• Time off and flexibility: 28 vacation days (and the option to buy 5 extra days), plus the possibility of workation: up to 5 weeks per year of remote work.
• Well‑being & focus: Access to lifestyle coaches, healthy lunches and other initiatives that contribute to your well‑being and focus, including the possibility to lease a bike via Lease-a-bike.
• Financial security: A competitive base salary with attractive benefits, such as full pension coverage.
• Optimal workplace: The best hardware, including a Home-office budget to set up your remote workspace.
• Plenty of opportunities: Enjoy the speed and autonomy of an innovative scale-up, backed by the stability, vast resources, and global career network of the Visma Group.
• Team & culture: Participate in team-building days, and other Yuki events that strengthen the close team spirit in a diverse and international environment.
