Head of Engineering (Payroll or Freelance)
Belgium | Software Development Industry
I’m supporting several clients in Belgium who are looking for a Head of Engineering with strong, hands-on experience in building software products end-to-end. This opportunity is ideal for senior engineering leaders — including former CTOs or technical leads — who still enjoy staying close to the technology while guiding teams and shaping technical direction.
This role is available on a full-time payroll basis or as a freelance/contract engagement.
What You’ll Do
- Lead and develop engineering teams across backend, frontend, and platform domains
- Drive technical strategy, architectural decisions, and long-term product evolution
- Stay hands-on where needed (architecture, design reviews, troubleshooting, coaching)
- Oversee software delivery from concept to deployment with high quality standards
- Collaborate closely with Product, Design, and leadership stakeholders
- Improve engineering processes, development practices, and delivery efficiency
- Mentor engineers, influence technical culture, and support hiring when required
- Ensure products are scalable, reliable, secure, and built for long-term growth
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years of experience in software engineering
- Proven track record of building and shipping real products end-to-end
- Strong experience in architectural design and technical decision-making
- Previous leadership experience (Head of Engineering, Team Lead, Tech Lead, former CTO, etc.)
- Solid understanding of modern software development, cloud environments, and CI/CD
- Strong communication, collaboration, and leadership skills
Nice to Have
- Experience managing multiple engineering teams or functions
- Background in .NET, React, or cloud-native platforms
- Experience modernizing systems, introducing new technology, or scaling engineering capability
- Passion for mentoring, coaching, and building high-performing teams
Engagement Options
Payroll (Full-Time) – Strategic leadership role with long-term impact
Freelance/Contract
