A €5 billion power plant or a new factory hall the size of a village. These projects often spiral completely out of control, with massive delays and budget overruns. This company delivers the ultimate software "control room" to prevent exactly that. This is the role for a Lead Developer who knows that the days of just coding are over. This is about architecture, leadership, and steering a SaaS solution that manages billion-euro projects.
Tell me more
There are projects that cost millions, and there are projects that change the world. This organization operates in that latter, spectacular category. It is an international player that takes on the world's most capital-intensive projects head-on.
And how big are we talking? Gigantic. Think of building advanced factories, complex infrastructure, and the large-scale energy transitions of our time. This company ensures that these billion-euro projects are delivered on time and within budget. Working here is a truly CV-worthy story. This is not just another IT company where you fix a few bugs. Here, software solutions are built that steer half-billion-euro decisions. Engineers are given the intellectual freedom to experiment and innovate.
So what would I do here?
Your role as Lead Java Developer is the technical heart of this mission. You stop merely executing and start leading on a global level. You define the technical winning strategy, guide complex Java projects, and ensure the platform remains an absolute top-of-the-market. This means setting the bar high for innovation. You test the latest technical innovations and decide the direction the organization takes.
It's not just endless meetings. You stay hands-on. You dive into the code, build prototypes, and ensure implementations are solid. With your broad experience, you personally design and develop the coolest new integrations, APIs, and functionalities. At the same time, you coach your dedicated team of developers. You guide them through the full project lifecycle and help them get the best out of their work. And because your technical insight is directly worth billions, you sit at the table with the CEO to help determine the company's course.
But can I do it?
Your deep foundation in Java technologies proves it. To be honest, you've long since moved past the stage of "a bit of experience." Development is your craft, and you understand that there's always more to learn. You have a genuine passion for solving complex IT problems. You are critical by nature and therefore apply software engineering principles to make the right strategic choices. You're already familiar with the full playing field-from front-end and full-stack to data and cloud.
So much is happening in the tech world, and you're always quick to jump on new developments. With a genuine interest in AI and microservices, you strive to truly excel in both knowledge and skill. That's the perfect foundation, because you're analytically strong and good at organizing and communicating. To achieve what you want, you also need to convey your vision clearly to the right people. Last but not least: you speak and write both Dutch and English.
Nothing comes for free
You deliver top performance, guide the codebase, and save serious money. Naturally, that comes with an attractive reward. You'll earn between €65,000 and €90,000 per year, depending on your expertise. In addition, you get 29.5 vacation days to fully recharge. You'll work for global clients and use the latest technologies-an enormous bonus. The office is easy to reach, and there's no shortage of fun and social vibes. Summer BBQs and Friday afternoon drinks are standard. Why wait? Apply now and we'll be in touch soon!
