MEGA's IT department builds and evolves the ecosystem platforms behind our energy and telecom business lines. As the team grows and our delivery becomes AI-augmented, we are creating a Head of Development role: the technical reference who sets the direction, raises the bar on delivery and quality, and makes our estimates and technical decisions rigorous and defensible.

*Ready for the challenge?* Because we are 😊!

**The Job:**

The **Head of Development** is THE technical reference for the dev team. You define the technical direction - our “Technical North Star” - take and arbitrate technical decisions, challenge and validate estimates, and coach and challenge the team to raise delivery quality - while staying hands-on enough to be fully credible with the engineers. You also lead the team on the human side - growing, motivating and retaining the engineers.

- Define and own the Technical North Star — architecture principles, standards, tooling and the AI-augmented way of working - and make sure the team follows it.
- Be the technical decision-maker and arbiter: resolve architecture and technical trade-offs and set the direction on cross-cutting choices.
- Challenge and validate estimates: bring rigour and an objective basis to sizing, and verify quotes before they go out.
- Raise delivery performance and quality: define clear objectives and KPIs across delivery, quality and cost, and drive continuous improvement in code review, testing and CI/CD.
- Coach and challenge the team: mentor developers and leads, raise the technical bar, and give direct, constructive feedback.
- Manage and grow the people: run one-to-ones, set clear objectives and development plans, own performance and career growth, and keep the team healthy, motivated and retained.
- Shape and grow the team: recruit and assess, and structure it around full-stack developers assigned to business lines, apps or features, with a front-end and a DevOps reference where relevant.
- Stay hands-on where it counts: deep enough in code and architecture to review, prototype and earn the team's trust.
- Champion AI-augmented development: set the standards, guardrails and governance for using AI tools well and safely across the delivery cycle.
- Be the technical credibility with the business: translate technical constraints and trade-offs for stakeholders and the founders.

**Why you’ll love working at Mega:**

- **Contributing to a mission that matters:** Mega makes energy (and telecom) accessible and affordable for everyone. Your code has real-world impact.
- Working in a **fast-moving, genuinely friendly team**, with a **hybrid model** that gives you real flexibility (3 days remote, 2 on-site in Liège).
- **Coming as you are:** diversity, inclusion, and psychological safety aren’t HR talking points here, they’re lived every day ❤️

**Align with our core values as you lead and inspire:**

- **Trust** : We act with transparency, take responsibility, and foster exchanges based on trust, respect, and integrity.
- **Agility** : We adapt quickly, find pragmatic solutions, and seize opportunities with creativity\*.\*
- **Positivity** : We collaborate together with a positive attitude, shared motivation, and a common vision\*.\*
- **Customer First** : We prioritize our customers, using our expertise to deliver value and build strong partnerships\*.\*
- **Performance** : We aim for excellence by facing challenges with a performance and efficiency-oriented mindset. Our approach is focused on results and solutions\*.\*

**Is this job made for you?**

**Experience & leadership**

- 8–10+ years in software engineering, including several years leading and line-managing dev teams as a tech lead, engineering manager or head of development.
- Proven track record setting technical direction and raising delivery quality, ideally in a product or scale-up environment.

- Genuine, judicious use of AI-augmented development - and the ability to set the team's practices and guardrails around it.

**Leadership, management & communication**

- Technical authority and credibility: earns the team's trust, takes decisions, and challenges without breaking trust.
- Real people-management experience: growing, motivating and retaining engineers - one-to-ones, objectives and development plans, performance and career growth, and handling tensions with empathy.
- Excellent communication: clear and structured with the team, and able to represent technical topics convincingly to the business and the founders.
- Coaching and mentoring, with direct and constructive feedback.
- Able to arbitrate between business expectations and technical constraints, and to say no with a clear rationale.
