• Experience with API gateways and reverse proxies
• Good understanding of enterprise networking concepts related to integration platforms
• Familiarity with integration testing strategies and non-functional requirements
• Experience with Red Hat products and/or open-source integration solutions
• Comfortable working with:

*Linux-based environments

*Scripting and automation

*Containerized and cloud-native deployments

What It Means to Work with Us

You will work at a Best Workplace™ where technical excellence and collaboration matter.

You work in a consultancy model built around peer collaboration, not isolated assignments. You are part of an active technical community, not just a project team.

You contribute to defining architectural standards, patterns, and best practices, and you are encouraged to share knowledge, present, coach, and learn especially during Technical University, hackathons, and internal community sessions.

You combine hands-on engineering with client-facing advisory work in an environment that values autonomy, responsibility, and technical ownership.

Our client is a specialist in assisting business keep complex digital platforms adaptable and calm under change. Their focus is not on flashy releases, but on structure, longevity and thoughtful engineering choices. Much of what they build is invisible until it really matters.

They are looking for a DevOps Engineer to join their team in Mechelen.

You will help shape how software moves from idea to reality, ensuring that environments and infrastructure supports growth. The work sits close to development, with a strong connection to a Java-based stack and a preference for automation.
