Python developer

Solutions Engineer - Netherlands

Your role

As a Solution Engineer in our IT Solutions team, you’ll work closely with product owners, subject matter experts and a wide range of IT engineers to turn business ideas into solutions that actually work. Not just on paper, but in real life.

You don’t need to know everything, but you do need to know enough: enough about our IT landscape to see what’s possible, and enough about the business to design solutions that make sense. Together with our engineers, you’ll shape clear solution blueprints they can confidently build.

What you will be doing:

  • Sit down with product owners to understand what they want to achieve (and help them uncover what they really need).
  • Translate business needs into clear solution designs and high-level blueprints, writing solid requirements, creating visualizations, and documenting solutions so everyone knows what to build (and why).
  • Work closely with software, integration, data, and cloud engineers to fine-tune solutions and make smart technical choices.
  • Get your hands dirty when it makes sense: build and configure parts of the solution yourself, such as orchestration processes, integrations, or workflow logic.
  • Act as the friendly translator between business and IT. Switching languages without losing meaning.
  • Keep an eye on the bigger architectural picture, making sure new solutions fit neatly into our IT landscape.
  • Proactively look for innovations and improvement opportunities to strengthen and evolve our IT landscape, always curious about what could work even better.
  • Actively support engineers during implementation by working side-by-side with the team. Writing and refining requirements and stories, clarifying designs, answering questions, and adjusting when reality inevitably has other plan.

Your profile

3–5 years of experience in IT solution design, process analysis, product ownership, or a similar role, combined with strong analytical skills.
Solid understanding of modern IT landscapes, including integrations, APIs, cloud, data flows, and security (no need to be an expert in everything).
Ability to translate ideas and business needs into clear, structured, and workable solution designs.
Comfortable working closely with colleagues from different backgrounds and disciplines, both in person and remotely, and being in the office around three days per week on average.
Strong communication skills, able to explain technical concepts in a simple and accessible way to non-technical audiences.
Naturally curious and inquisitive, asking the right questions and listening carefully before forming conclusions.
Comfortable working in Agile environments and adapting to fast-changing circumstances.
Experience with product management and collaboration tools (such as JIRA, Azure DevOps) to manage work and bring ideas to life.
A pragmatic mindset with a sense of humor, bringing energy and balance to the team.
Eligible to work in the Netherlands and comfortable working in English in an international environment.
