Raise the bar. Don't wait to be asked.

We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer. Not a senior title for someone who executes well, but the engineer other engineers calibrate against. You see the thing that's broken, decide it's worth fixing, and start. Nobody assigns that to you.

We want to be blunt about the bar, because last time we weren't. This role is not "ship tickets faster than a mid-level engineer". It's technical leadership, coaching, challenging how we work, and being the person the EM and PM think out loud with. If that's not the job you want, this will be a bad year for both of us.

About Workwize

Workwize is the platform IT teams use to equip and manage remote and global workforces. We deliver, track, and retrieve hardware in over 100 countries, with 50,000 users and 120,000 devices under management today.

We're one of the fastest-growing scale-ups in the Netherlands, a LinkedIn Top 10 Startup (2025) and ranked #6 by Deloitte in the 50 fastest-growing Dutch tech companies. We work from a flat, open environment out of our Amsterdam HQ and across 40+ nationalities worldwide.

What you'll do

• Lead feature work end to end: shape the scope with the PM, make the architectural calls, decide what to cut, and own whether it actually worked once it's live.
• Use agents and AI tooling as your default way of building, and pull the rest of the team up to where you are. What you can do with a model this month should be what the team can do with it next month.
• Coach the engineers around you, including the ones who are not junior. Pairing, review, handing over scope, and direct feedback that changes how someone works.
• Change how we work without asking permission first. Spot the process that's costing the team time, build the case, get the buy in, and show the before and after.
• Be a real partner to the EM and PM. Push back on the roadmap, bring the problem nobody had noticed, and say the uncomfortable thing early rather than politely late.
• Connect what you ship to what the company is trying to achieve, with a number you chose and then went back and looked at.

Who you are

• You have 8+ years building software at product companies, and you're currently a Senior Software Engineer, Lead Engineer, Tech Lead, Senior Full Stack Engineer, Senior Product Engineer or similar. You've worked in a real cross functional team, not alone and not in a two person shop.
• You have a deep technical and architecture foundation. You can explain how the systems you built fit together, why you made each trade off, and what would break first under load. AI makes you faster, it does not stand in for understanding what you shipped.
• You use AI and agents as your default way of working, and you can name the tools, models and harnesses. You know exactly which parts you still do yourself and why, and you read what the agent produced closely wherever it touches data, money or auth.
• You've coached peers, not only juniors, and you can point to a specific skill someone has now because of you.
• You've driven a change in how a team works and confirmed with a metric that it landed.
• You're an extremely strong communicator. You get to the point, you can hold a constructive disagreement without it getting personal, and feedback is something you go looking for rather than something you survive.
• You have judgment about what not to build. The fastest way to ship is to cut the right thing, and you'll defend that call.
• You're proactive to the point of being slightly annoying about it. You'd rather fix it and tell people afterwards than raise it and wait.

Nice to have

• Experience at a fast growing SaaS or B2B product company.
• Running evals, watching inference cost, or dealing with model failure modes like hallucination in production.
• Experience being the technical counterpart for a PM or EM on a roadmap, not just on a sprint.

What this role is not

• Not a role where improvements wait for a one on one. If you need to be asked, this isn't it.
• Not a role where seniority means scope of tickets. It means scope of influence.
• Not a role where you can be excellent alone. If the team isn't better a quarter after you join, we both got it wrong.

Workwize Offers

• Flexible hybrid work environment.
• Top-notch tools and equipment provided.
• Vibrant, entrepreneurial culture with opportunities for growth.
• Off-sites and multi-yearly team bonding events.
• Team lunches and surprise events to keep things fun.
• Classpass corporate membership.
