Head of Engineering and Architecture - IT

The organisation

Look around you when you're on the road. You see a lot of heavy-duty trucks, right? And do you see a single one of them using an electric engine? No? That's about to change.

How is this going to change?

Did you notice that all across Europe, charging stations are installed for every car user with an electric engine? One can’t miss that everyone is preparing for the time when no car has a fuel engine anymore. But the road is densely populated with heavy-duty vehicles, primarily commercial vehicles, that still use old-fashioned gas engines. The facilities are also running behind: You can't charge conveniently with an electrically powered truck.

This brand-new organization is specifically established to fix that problem. From their base in the Netherlands, their mission is to accelerate the transition to zero-emission heavy-duty vehicles in Europe. They realize that by building and managing reliable and secure high-performance charging solutions, specifically for heavy-duty vehicles. With some huge investments and collaboration from a few brands, this is the future of electrical trucks.

The position

Finally! Something we need. What do they need me for?

You will be the technical brain for their entire tech stack, both front- and backend. You’re also the architect that ensures different solutions connect seamlessly together, and as the base of the development team, you help to build this team to define standards and velocity. There has to be a solid ground for the entire IT infrastructure, and you’re going to build that. After that, you make sure that this will work according to the highest standards.

Candidate profile

That’s a big challenge, but I think I can do this

With your experience, you can. You’re able to act as a lead engineer within a rapidly growing team. With a clear vision of integration architecture, you are able to create a design for this IT landscape and implement that as well. You need the drive to help electrical driving grow, with a passion for EV and transport. But as their Head of Engineering and Architecture, you need to know more about IT landscapes than about electrical driving.

The offer

That’s my thing. Will I earn enough to have my own charging station?

If you really want that, it’s possible. Your salary won’t be a problem. That will end up as a nice yearly amount between €80.000 and €100.000 grossly. But we’re not there yet. They want them to join you not just for a job, but for a career. Their pension plan is looking very nice and you’ll receive unlimited(!) vacation days. How about that? We can’t imagine something more appealing, but it’s your job to click that Apply button.
