Job description

Technical Leadership at Schuberg Philis At Schuberg Philis, we specialize in mission critical IT, partnering closely with our customers to ensure their most vital systems run smoothly and securely. Our engineers are T-shaped professionals who thrive at the intersection of depth and breadth, combining deep expertise in their fields with a collaborative mindset to ensure 100% customer satisfaction. Working within dedicated, cross-functional, self-steering Customer Teams, we take ownership of complex challenges and co-create solutions that align with our customers’ goals. From designing and building robust systems to managing secure, business critical platforms, we do it all.

In this position, you’ll primarily work with customers in and around the Eindhoven region. You’ll have regular customer contact, be part of the core customer team, and also be expected to facilitate technical leadership across teams and within our internal Tech Lead community. What will you do Responsibilities vary depending on the specific customer landscape and domain, but may include: Act as the technical point of contact: Be the default go to person for technical leadership within your customer team. Represent the team toward the customer on technical topics and decisions. Translate complex technical concepts into clear, understandable language for all stakeholders. Shape and guard the technical vision: Formulate and maintain a clear technical vision for the customer team. Ensure solutions align with the customer’s enterprise, business and security architecture. Balance innovation with stability, risk, and cost. Lead within the account “triangle”: Work as an equal peer with the Customer Director Sales and Customer Director Delivery (together with the MD forming the Account Team). Jointly own decisions: bigger decisions are made with the consent of the whole Account Team. For technica…
