You will provide technical leadership, guide architecture and design decisions, and ensure alignment with internal standards and product vision. You will also help the team structure and
organize their technical work to deliver consistent outcomes and ensure alignment with cross-product standards.
You will be accountable for the end-to-end technical health of the product, collaborating closely with Product Owners, Scrum Masters, team members, and technical stakeholders (e.g., architects, platform teams) to ensure the product evolves in a robust and sustainable way.
KEY RESPONSABILITIES
You will be part of one of the GSmart product teams and help evolve the product suite by enabling new services for our customers, ensuring compliance with evolving Belgian and European regulations, and preparing the platform for future carbon-neutral energy carriers.

- Mentor and coach team members on technical decisions specific to the product landscape or cross-product standards.
- Collaborate with the Product Owner and Scrum Master to plan delivery and support the team in meeting the definition of done.
- Facilitate resolution of technical bottlenecks, risks, and technical debt.
- Actively engage with internal technical stakeholders to align on technical enablers, constraints, and cross-product integration.
- Contribute to product budget discussions with the Product Owner by providing input on technical feasibility, priorities, and trade-offs.
- Promote knowledge sharing, consistency, and best practices across the team and, when relevant, across products.
SKILLS & EXPERTISE

- Strong communication and facilitation skills, enabling effective collaboration between developers, analysts, architects, and product stakeholders.
- Ability to coach and guide team members on technical approaches, conventions, and practices within the product landscape.
- Collaborative mindset with a focus on knowledge sharing, constructive feedback, and collective ownership within the team.
- Ability to balance delivery needs with long-term product sustainability, helping teams make pragmatic technical decisions.
