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 the 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.

- 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
What we’re looking for

- IDEs such as VS Code or JetBrains
- Able to manage and optimize the full development toolchain
- Comfortable owning applications end-to-end in production
Ways of working
- Truly hands-on developer (no lead/manager profile)
- Comfortable joining and contributing to an existing, complex codebase
- Acts with integrity, internally and externally
- Takes ownership and responsibility for outcomes
