Technical Lead
Lead a Python/Django web application team where technical direction, architecture, and mentoring meet a high-security operational context. You will set coding standards, guide React and backend delivery, and keep DevOps and data integration aligned from design to production.
CONTEXT
Our client, a major player in its sector, is building a Python/Django web application that must meet exacting security and operational standards. The team needs a Technical Lead who can combine hands-on technical direction with the kind of mentoring that raises the whole engineering group. The role spans architecture, coding standards, front-end React delivery, back-end Python and Django, DevOps practices, and data integration. You will work in a hybrid setup in Brussels and will need to obtain security accreditation, which signals the sensitivity and seriousness of the mission. This is a story of technical leadership under scrutiny: making architecture decisions that last, guiding developers through complex trade-offs, and turning a secure-by-design mindset into everyday engineering practice.

- Mentor developers and help the team grow in autonomy, quality, and technical confidence.
- Align DevOps practices, Docker-based environments, CI/CD pipelines, and data integration with delivery needs.
- Collaborate with security stakeholders and support the accreditation process through sound technical choices.
EXPECTED ACHIEVEMENTS
- Deliver a coherent, secure, and maintainable architecture across front-end, back-end, DevOps, and data integration.
- Raise engineering quality through standards, reviews, and mentoring.
- Keep delivery aligned with security accreditation requirements and operational constraints.
- Improve team velocity by removing technical blockers and clarifying design decisions.
- Create a durable technical foundation that supports future features and integrations.
ENVIRONMENT
