The Netherlands Payroll product at Shine
Our Netherlands payroll product, today offered as Employes by Shine, is a SaaS solution that helps Dutch companies run accurate, compliant payroll and manage core employee data in one place. It operates in a complex, business‑critical, regulation‑heavy domain where reliability and correctness matter every single month. The product is established and growing with an existing customer base and a full roadmap of improvements and new capabilities.
This role is an opportunity to take real ownership of that product while still having significant freedom to shape where it goes next. Payroll is inherently complex, and your goal is to make something complicated feel remarkably simple for customers. You will work with a strong, complete cross‑functional team — five engineers, an Engineering Manager, a Product Designer and a Payroll Expert — and have direct access to customers, business stakeholders and leadership. At the same time, the journey goes beyond optimising an existing product: Employes is becoming part of the broader Shine Payroll proposition, creating opportunities to rethink the product, expand its addressable market and build capabilities that can scale beyond the Netherlands. It is a role with significant autonomy, visible business impact and plenty of complex product problems still left to solve.
