Job description

At prado, we build invisible home technology for the world’s best architects. What began with a single flagship product in 2021 is now an integrated ecosystem of lighting, ventilation, power and security solutions, carried by more than 150 colleagues across Europe, North America and the Middle East. We are a family of brands that keeps on growing.

Growth through acquisition brings a very specific IT challenge: several brands, several histories, several ways of working, and one ambition to run them all on a single group platform. As our system engineer, you own that technical integration. You bring every brand onto one foundation for identity, devices, infrastructure and applications, and you hunt down the problems nobody has mapped yet. This is build work. There is no ticket queue waiting for you; you build the machine that answers the tickets.

what you will do

• Bring our brands onto one group platform by identitying (Entra ID), endpoints (Intune), networking, backup and monitoring, following one standard you'll help define.
• Take custody of existing IT estates by mapping undocumented environments, securing access, documenting everything and then migrating them into the group setup.
• Build the automated support layer: an AI-powered first line, runbooks, monitoring and self-service, so recurring questions are answered by systems and the team keeps its focus on build work.
• Solve the unsolved from a misbehaving mail flow to a legacy server nobody dares to touch, you investigate, fix and document.
• Direct our partners: managed service providers, telco and cloud vendors deliver to your standard, and you verify what they deliver.
• Automate relentlessly by scripting, APIs and AI tooling are your default answer to repetitive work, across a stack that includes Microsoft 365, Azure and Odoo.

what we are looking for

• Bachelor's or master's degree (or equivalent through experience) in IT or a related engineering field.
• Minimum 4 years of broad systems experience with Microsoft 365, Entra ID, Intune, networking, virtualization, backup. You are comfortable across the whole stack, from cloud console to server room.
• High agency: you act without a playbook, you start things nobody asked for, and a blocker is where your story begins.
• Comfort with uncertainty and legacy, an undocumented environment excites you more than it scares you.
• Scripting and automation skills: PowerShell, APIs, low-code, or a language of your choice.
• A fascination with AI, and the drive to make it part of how you work every day.
• Proficient communication skills in English and Dutch; French is a strong asset.

what we offer

• prado is a fast-scaling international company with the ambition to lead its market.
• Guided by a family-driven philosophy, you will feel quickly at home thanks to our warm work environment.
• A rare mandate: you set the technical standard for an entire group of brands and see the impact of your work every day.
• Direct collaboration with the CIO, short lines, and real decision power from day one.
• We offer a competitive salary package tailored to your experience and skills.
• A minimum of 3 days in-office presence per week to support team cohesion, with regular presence at our brand sites across Belgium.
