## About the Role

 * You have a proven track record of bringing a solution from design through implementation to production with a team.
 * You have strong experience in architecture and technical applications, and you can turn architectural choices into practical delivery decisions.
 * You have solid expertise in Azure, or in an equivalent public cloud environment, and you are comfortable in hybrid setups.

## Description

For a public-sector organisation in Brussels, we are looking for an experienced Solution Architect / Lead Developer to help strengthen internal digital capabilities and modernise information systems.
You will contribute to the development of an integrated, secure and sustainable digital environment, with a strong focus on architecture, software delivery and production readiness.
Mission
This role combines solution architecture with hands-on technical leadership. You define implementable solutions, guide the delivery team, remove technical blockers and stay accountable for what is deployed into production.

 * Define and maintain the target architecture across application, integration, data and security, with a solution that remains workable for a small engineering team.
 * Lead the technical delivery: backlog refinement, estimates, definition of done, stand-ups and technical risk management.
 * Translate business needs into an actionable backlog and safeguard scope when technical debt or delivery risks need to be addressed.
 * Coach medior developers, review code and technical designs, and raise engineering quality without slowing the team down.
 * Set and enforce engineering standards around Git, branching strategy, CI/CD, automated testing, environments and release management.
 * Act as the technical point of contact for business, product, infrastructure and security stakeholders.
 * Create and maintain architecture artefacts such as SAD, ADRs, diagrams and interface contracts.
 * Detect risks early, including security, performance, operability, vendor lock-in and delivery risks, and drive mitigation through to production.
