Lead Software Engineer Vectera

• Role: Lead Software Engineer Vectera
• Scope: Help us shape the future of scheduling and video meetings as a Software Engineer
• Level: Senior
• Location: Ghent, Belgium with hybrid/on-site working model (fully remote is not possible)
• Timing: ASAP

As a Lead Engineer for our Vectera product at Teamleader, you:

• Own delivery end-to-end: guide work from idea to production and outcomes, keeping scope tight and quality high.
• Run the engineering rhythm: lead planning, stand-ups, reviews, and retros to keep flow and focus.
• Coach engineers through pairing, thoughtful code reviews, and asking great questions; help juniors level up fast.
• Drive technical design within the team and with adjacent teams; align on patterns and solve cross-cutting problems.
• Continuously improve how we work—process, code quality, testing, and observability—so we ship smaller, safer, and faster.
• Shepherd the pipeline: keep build/test/deploy healthy so changes reach customers swiftly and safely.
• Assess feasibility and risk: evaluate solution options, call out risks early, and help the team prioritize.
• Communicate clearly with engineers, PM, QA, and stakeholders—transparent, no-surprises updates.

• Modernize the codebase: reduce AngularJS surface area, improve performance, structure, and usability.
• Build new features with a bias to simplicity and maintainability (e.g., AI meeting summaries).
• Elevate quality: improve test coverage, error budgets, and SLOs; champion pragmatic engineering standards.
• Own production: collaborate on incident reviews, root-cause analysis, and preventative fixes.

We value adaptability over buzzword bingo — but here’s what we use today:

• Frontend: Angular (TypeScript), legacy AngularJS, WebSockets
• Backend: Python, Django, Django REST Framework
• Infrastructure: Docker, Kubernetes, PostgreSQL, Redis
• Tooling: GitHub, Jira, Slack, and a pragmatic Scrum approach

You’d be a great fit for this role, if you:

• Have 6+ years of software engineering experience and proven experience leading software teams or similar scope.
• Are confident across the our tech stack
• Can navigate and improve legacy code—you’re comfortable structuring, refactoring, and paying down debt.
• Bring deep, hands-on experience with modern web frameworks in a stack like ours.
• Use your experience to pinpoint bugs, do root-cause analysis, spot risky patterns, and craft solid solutions.
• Care about code quality, documentation, and excellence of delivery—and know when to be pragmatic.
• Communicate crisply in English; you can be technical with engineers and clear with stakeholders. (Dutch is a plus.)
• Bonus: SaaS product experience and an eye for product delivery.
