Senior Go Engineer

About

At Sytac, we build high‑performing engineering teams for leading organizations in the Netherlands and beyond. We combine a pragmatic, people‑first culture with strong technical craftsmanship — giving engineers autonomy in real production environments, backed by a consultancy that invests in growth, community, and long‑term partnerships.

For one of our highly regulated, technology‑driven clients in the tax and compliance domain, we’re looking for a Software Developer (hands‑on) to strengthen our engineering team. You’ll work within a DevOps team on a complex, business‑critical platform that sits at the intersection of application development and Kubernetes‑based infrastructure. This is a hands‑on engineering role — not a lead or management position.

• Work on a complex, existing application within an enterprise technology stack
• Build and maintain integrations and connectivity with other internal applications
• Develop, deploy, and operate applications running on Kubernetes
• Create, maintain, and optimize Helm charts
• Take ownership of the full application stack (build, run, and maintain)
• Actively contribute to improving code quality, stability, and performance
• Collaborate closely within an agile DevOps team
• Act as an example in engineering approach, documentation, and professionalism

• Curious, innovative, and not afraid of new technologies
