- Ensure close alignment with other teams such as Product Owners, Data & AI, and IT;

Your profile
- Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, software engineering, or a related field;
- At least 5 years of experience as a software developer, including 1–2 years in a leadership role;
- Strong technical background in web development, ideally with PHP (Laravel), Vue, JavaScript/TypeScript, and scalable service architectures;

- Proven experience managing technical teams and mentoring both junior and senior developers;
- Hands-on mentality with excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to address urgent issues pragmatically;
- Strong communication skills in both Dutch and English;
- Track record of leading complex projects from conception to delivery using agile principles.
