Job description

Python | Golang | Google Cloud | JS&TS | AI-Augmented

Location: Ghent, Belgium Team: Product & Engineering

Why this role exists

We’re on a mission to help B2B sales teams reach a new standard of productivity through simplicity, effectiveness, and keeping the human touch at the center.

We are looking for an experienced Software Engineer to become a core part of our engineering team. You won't just be closing tickets; you will play a key role in defining how our systems scale, how our data flows, and how we maintain code quality as we grow.

We believe the future of engineering is AI-augmented. We don't view AI as a replacement, but as a lever. We want engineers who are excited to use modern tools (Claude Code, Github copilot) to automate the repetitive "toil" of development, freeing up your mental energy for complex architecture and creative problem-solving.

What you bring to the table

• Proven Engineering Fluency: You have deep experience in Python or Golang (or a strong background in another backend language and a willingness to switch). You understand the trade-offs in API design, database modeling, and system architecture. You have affinity with frontend (JS & TS).
• A Pragmatic Approach: You know that the "perfect" code is the code that delivers value to the customer and can be maintained by the team. You avoid over-engineering.
• Curiosity for Tooling: You actively look for ways to work smarter, not harder. You are enthusiastic about integrating AI-powered workflows to boost your own velocity and the team's efficiency.
• Collaborative Leadership: You enjoy discussing technical decisions with the team. You are comfortable mentoring junior colleagues, reviewing code with empathy, and fostering a culture of psychological safety.

What’s in it for you

• Autonomy & Trust: You will have ownership over your work. We hire smart people and get out of their way, trusting you to manage your time and your technical decisions.
• Modern, Efficient Environment: We provide the best tooling available (including AI subscriptions) so you can focus on the work that matters, not the boilerplate.
• Shared Success: A competitive package including stock options—when we win, you win.
