About the role
You will lead the team that builds the systems behind our finance and internal operations. That means billing, invoicing and the internal tools our Operations and Finance teams use every day. The team is small but has a big impact. Mistakes here are expensive, so quality and good judgement matter.
You lead the engineers, work closely with the team's Product Manager and report to the Engineering Manager. You also work directly with senior leadership. You own the people, the way the team works and the delivery of the roadmap. You stay close to the code: about 30 to 40% of your time goes to code reviews, technical design and some hands-on work.
What you will do
- Lead and grow your engineers through 1:1s, clear feedback and growth plans
- Set a clear bar for performance, and act early when someone is not meeting it
- Own delivery of the team's roadmap and keep progress, risks and blockers visible
- Plan the roadmap and quarterly goals with Product, Operations and Finance, including what we say no to
- Run planning, refinement and retros, and represent the team in talks with other teams
- Keep standards high on code review, testing, monitoring, security and incident follow-up
- Hire new engineers for your team
- Set good habits for using AI tools in development
What you bring
- 5+ years as a software engineer, including at least 1 to 2 years managing engineers with direct reports
- Experience handling performance issues: setting expectations, giving hard feedback and supporting someone who is struggling
- A leadership style that can switch between directing and coaching, depending on the situation
- Confidence to explain and defend your point of view to senior stakeholders
- Hands-on experience with a modern web stack. We use Laravel (PHP), Node.js, React, Filament and MySQL. You don't need to know all of them, because strong engineers learn them fast
- A track record of delivering B2B web products end to end, working with non-technical colleagues
- Daily use of AI tools in your development work
- Clear written and spoken English (Dutch is not needed)
Nice to have
- Experience in FinTech, or with finance and billing systems (invoicing, order-to-cash, tax, or accounting and ERP integrations like Exact or QuickBooks)
- Experience with Laravel Filament or other admin panel tools, or moving internal tools off low-code platforms like Retool
- Experience building LLM features or AI agents for internal operations
- Scale-up experience, ideally in B2B SaaS, logistics or operations
Where you will work
- In the Netherlands: hybrid, 2 to 3 days a week in our Amsterdam office
- Elsewhere in EMEA: remote, with working hours that overlap with CET and occasional visits to Amsterdam
Our hiring process
- Call with Talent Acquisition
- Short video interview
- Team fit interview
- Technical interview
- Case study: two short role-play scenarios with the panel. You don't need to prepare.
- Culture interview
What we offer
- Flexible hybrid work
- Top tools and equipment
- An entrepreneurial culture with room to grow
- Off-sites and team events
- Team lunches and surprise events
- Pension scheme
- ClassPass corporate membership

About this role
Workwize is looking for an Engineering Lead to oversee the team building finance and internal operations systems—billing, invoicing, and the tools that keep Operations and Finance running. This is a small team with outsized responsibility; errors here have real financial consequences, so the role demands both technical rigor and sound judgment. You'll split your time between people leadership (1:1s, hiring, performance management, growth planning) and hands-on work (code reviews, technical design, some coding), reporting to the Engineering Manager while working directly with senior leadership across the business.
The ideal candidate has at least five years as a software engineer with one to two years managing direct reports, plus proven experience handling difficult performance conversations. You'll need confidence defending technical decisions to non-technical stakeholders and a flexible leadership style that can shift between directing and coaching. The tech stack is Laravel, Node.js, React, Filament and MySQL; you don't need to know everything, but you should be comfortable learning quickly in a modern web environment and already using AI tools daily in your development work.
Experience in FinTech or with billing and accounting systems (invoicing, tax, ERP integrations) is valuable but not required. The role is based in Amsterdam on a hybrid schedule (2–3 days in office) if you're in the Netherlands, or fully remote elsewhere in EMEA with CET-overlapping hours. Workwize offers flexible work, good equipment, a pension scheme, ClassPass membership, and the typical scale-up perks of team events and an entrepreneurial culture.
