We’re looking for a Technical Consultant – Engineering Excellence who loves getting hands‑on with engineering, transformation, automation and tooling, and gets just as much energy from coaching engineers and guiding clients through change.
What you’ll doDesign and implement solutions on and new and existing platforms: think Kubernetes/AKS, event streaming, CI/CD, secure and (AI/ML) scalable setups.
Join client teams as “one of them”: pairing with engineers, reviewing code and pipelines, helping them level up their engineering practices and developer experience.
Help untangle legacy: support migrations from on‑prem/monolith/ESB to microservices, domain‑driven and event‑driven architectures.
Facilitate: run technical workshops, refine backlogs with Product Owners, translate tech challenges into clear options and trade‑offs.
Guard flow: spot bottlenecks in tooling, process or architecture, and work with the stakeholders to remove friction for teams.
An engineer first: you’ve built and run systems, not just drawn them—whether that was in Go, Python, C#, Java or TypeScript.
Curious and coachy: you like explaining, pairing, and nudging teams towards better habits rather than throwing documents over the wall.
Comfortable in the messy middle: you can handle half‑legacy, half‑cloud landscapes without losing your smile.
Human: you have opinions, questions, hobbies, maybe a questionable taste in snacks. That’s fine—we’re a little bit geeky and proud of it.
Roughly 3–6 years of generic software/DevOps engineering experience.
You’ve worked on real‑world systems: e.g. Services, data pipelines, integrations, internal tools, AI/ML stack agnostic
You understand version control, code review, testing strategies, basic design principles and clean code.
You know how to move from laptop to production: packaging, configuration, observability, and incident handling.
Experience with at least one major cloud (preferably Azure) and concepts like managed services, networking, identity, and security basics.
CI/CD tooling (Azure DevOps, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, etc.) and scripting/automation in something like Bash, PowerShell, Python or Go.
Familiarity with containers and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes/AKS) or a strong desire to go deep there.
Used to Agile/Scrum/SAFe environments and cross‑functional teams.
Comfortable in a consultancy role: asking questions, pushing back respectfully, and explaining trade‑offs in plain language to non‑engineers.
Dutch fluent, English professional.
