Engineering 📍 Ghent (Hybrid) ⏱️ Full-time 💼 4-5 years experience
Lead Full-Stack Engineer
Skedle is one of the fastest-growing workforce planning platforms in Belgium. Over 500 companies rely on us daily to organize their staff planning and optimize payroll costs.
What you'll do
- You build features completely independently, from database to frontend and mobile (React with Zustand & Tailwind, Node.js, PostgreSQL, React Native).
- You report to and spar with our fractional CTO regarding complex architectural choices and the technical roadmap.
- Because we deal with personal data, you consider GDPR and security with every line of code.
- You receive clear functional input and context from the CPO, so you can focus on the best technical translation of the requirements.
- You set a high bar for quality and set up the CI/CD strategy. In the short term, you will help to further build out a full development team.
- You analyze the existing code and strategically determine what we 'upcycle' and what we rebuild from scratch.
About you
- You are an experienced builder who prefers thoughtful pragmatism over perfectionism.
- You feel comfortable in a modern TypeScript environment and think in terms of business impact.
- You have 4-5 years of experience as a Full-Stack TypeScript developer with a focus on quality, performance, and scalability.
- You have in-depth knowledge of React, Node.js (Fastify/Express), and SQL databases (PostgreSQL/Prisma). Knowledge of React Native or DevOps (Docker/GitLab) is a strong plus.
- You have a strong customer value mindset. You don't blindly build what is asked but dare to challenge features that don't meet the bar.
- You speak fluent Dutch and professional English.
What we offer
- You get the freedom to build a modern architecture without the ambiguity of a blank page. You use the proven logic of our existing platform as a blueprint to build a scalable 2.0 environment.
- Your code is used daily by thousands of end-users. You have direct contact with management, and decisions are made quickly.
- You start as our foundational engineer and will naturally grow into a Team Lead role. You will not only set the technical standard but also have the mandate to hire, onboard, and lead the future team.
- The role includes a competitive salary package including extra-legal benefits and a budget for training and conferences.
- A hybrid arrangement with at least 3 days per week at our office in the Ghent region.
