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 S
